Dickson polynomials are a family of polynomials that are defined over a field, particularly in the context of finite fields and algebraic number theory. They are named after the mathematician Leonard Eugene Dickson, who studied them in the early 20th century. Dickson polynomials are denoted by \(D_n(x, y)\), where \(n\) is the degree of the polynomial and \(x\) and \(y\) are variables.
