In this paper we study the generalized Erdos-Falconer distance problems in the finite field setting. The generalized distances are defined in terms of polynomials, and various formulas for sizes of distance sets are obtained. In particular, we develop a simple formula for estimating the cardinality of distance sets determined by diagonal polynomials. As a result, we generalize the spherical distance problems due to Iosevich and Rudnev and the cubic distance problems due to Iosevich and Koh. Moreover, our results are of higher dimensional version for Vu's work on two dimension. In addition, we set up and study the generalized pinned distance problems in finite fields. We give a nice generalization of some recent work in which the pinned distance problems related to spherical distances were investigated. Discrete Fourier analysis and exponential sum estimates play an important role in our proof.
