The Dickson polynomialDn, (x,a) of degreenis defined bydenotes the greatest integer function. In particular, we defineD0(x,a) = 2 for all realxanda. By using Dickson polynomials we present new types of generalized Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds. Some basic properties of these numbers and a combinatorial application to the enumeration of functions on finite sets in terms of their range values is also given.
