    The index \(\ell\) of a polynomial \(g(x)\) over the finite field of \(q\) elements was introduced by \textit{A. Akbary} et al. [Finite Fields Appl. 15, No. 2, 195--206 (2009; Zbl 1220.11145)]. The main result of the paper is the following:NEWLINENEWLINEIf \(g(x)\) is not a permutation polynomial, then the value set \(V_g\) of \(g(x)\) is of size at most NEWLINE\[NEWLINE|V_g|\leq q-\frac{q-1}{\ell}.\tag{*}NEWLINE\]NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEMoreover, the authors generalize the concept of index to multivariate vector polynomials and generalize (*).NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 1314.11002].
