Let $R$ be a finite ring, and $f$ be a function from $R$ to $R.$
Suppose I want to know whether $f$ can be represented as a polynomial or not? Are there any good algorithms for finding this out?

There is a criterion of Spira that a function on a finite commutative ring $R$ is representable by a polynomial if and only if all the iterated divided differences that can be formed by subsets of the arguments and the respective values are in $R$. The reference is R. Spira, Polynomial interpolation over commutative rings, Amer. Math. Monthly, 75 (1968), 638–640, MR0229625 (37 #5199).
