The set G[x] of polynomials over a group (G, + )—as well as the polynomial functions P(G) on (G, +) form near-rings with respect to addition and composition (substitution). See [1] for polynomials and [2] for near-rings. A number of results on G[x] can be deduced from [2].

Due to [1], the polynomials in G[x] can uniquely be represented in the following “normal form”:
