Abstract

Let KK be a valued field (in general KK is not heselian) with valuation vv and A(x)K[x]A(x)\in K[x] be a polynomial of degree nn. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the elements s,t,uKs,t,u\in K, s0us\neq 0\neq u, such that at least one of the polynomials unA(sx+tu)u^nA(\frac{sx+t}{u}), (tx+u)nA(sxtx+u)(tx+u)^nA(\frac{sx}{tx+u}), (ux)nA(tx+sux)(ux)^nA(\frac{tx+s}{ux}) or (ux+t)nA(sux+t)(ux+t)^nA(\frac{s}{ux+t}) is an Eisenstein-Dumas polynomial at vv, provided that the characteristic of the residue field of vv does not divide nn. Furthermore, we show that if the orbit A(x)GL(2,K)A(x)GL(2,K) contains an Eisenstein-Dumas polynomial at vv, then an Eisenstein-Dumas polynomial at vv can be found in a certain one-parameter subset of this orbit.
