Abstract: There are no polynomials with full cycle over the Galois ring. The maximal length of cycle of polynomial mapping over the Galois ring equals $q(q-1)p^{n-2},$ where $q^n$ – cardinality of ring and $p^n$ – its characteristic. In this work, an algorithm is presented for constructing the system of representatives of all maximal length cycles of a polynomial substitution over the Galois ring. Let an elementary operation be the production in the Galois ring, then the complexity of the algorithm equals $\mathrm O(lq^{n-1})$ elementary operations as $n$ tends to infinity, where $l$ is the degree of the polynomial.

Keywords: nonlinear recurrent sequences, Galois ring.
