What is the permutation group generated by those three given morphisms of the affine space $\mathbb{F}_q^3$?
Let $\mathbb{A}^3 = \mathbb{F}_q^3$. Consider the following three functions $\mathbb{A}^3\to\mathbb{A}^3$:
\begin{eqnarray*}
h: (x, y, z) &\mapsto& (x, y, xy - z) \\
u: (x, y, z) &\mapsto&...
