Abstract

By use of p-adic analytic methods, we study the L-functions associated to certain exponential sums defined over a finite field. Estimates for the degree of this L-function as rational function are obtained. In an "asymptotic" sense, these estimates are shown to be best possible. Precise determination of the degree is computed in the one-variable case.
