Abstract:
Exponential sums involving multiplicative characters of prime finite fields and cubic polynomials are considered and studied by means of numerical experiments. Some observations on distribution of the sums in the complex plane are given. A concept of admissible family of characters is introduced in this context.
Key words and phrases:finite fields, multiplicative exponential sums, distribution of exponential sums over finite fields.
