Groups of Permutation Polynomials over Finite Fields

LetFbe a finite field. We apply a result of Thierry Berger (1996,Designs Codes Cryptography,7, 215–221) to determine the structure of all groups of permutations onFgenerated by the permutations induced by the linear polynomials and any power map which induces a permutation onF. This generalizes a result of Leonard Carlitz (1953,Proc. Amer. Math. Soc.,4, 538).
