Truncated polynomials with restricted digits

Abstract

Many remarkable results have been obtained on important problems combining arithmetic properties of the integers and some restricted conditions of their digits in a given base. Maynard considered the number of the polynomial values with missing digits and gave an asymptotic formula. In this paper we study truncated polynomials with restricted digits by using the estimates for character sums and exponential sums modulo prime powers. In the case where the polynomials are monomial we further give exact identities.
