Abstract

For an integer r, a prime power q and a polynomial f over a finite field Fq r of qr elements, we obtain an upper bound on the frequency of elements in an orbit generated by iterations of f which fall in a proper subfield of Fq r . We also obtain similar results for elements in affine subspaces of Fq r , considered as a linear space over Fq.
