Abstract

Let f=a0+a1x++amxmZ[x]f=a_0+ a_{1}x+\cdots+a_m x^m\in \Bbb{Z}[x] be a primitive polynomial. Suppose that there exists a positive real number α\alpha such that amαm>a0+a1α++am1αm1|a_m| \alpha^m>|a_0|+|a_1|\alpha+\cdots+|a_{m-1}|\alpha^{m-1}. We prove that if there exist natural numbers nn and dd satisfying nα+dn\geq \alpha+ d for which either f(n)/d|f(n)|/d is a prime, or f(n)/d|f(n)|/d is a prime-power coprime to f(n)|f'(n)|, then ff is irreducible in Z[x]\mathbb{Z}[x].
