Abstract

Let K K be a number field, S S a finite set of places of K K , and OS \mathcal{O}_S be the ring of S S -integers. Moreover, let Gn(0)Zd++Gn(d1)Z+Gn(d) G_n^{(0)} Z^d + \cdots + G_n^{(d-1)} Z + G_n^{(d)} be a polynomial in Z Z having simple linear recurrences of integers evaluated at n n as coefficients. Assuming some technical conditions we give a description of the zeros (n,z)N×OS (n,z) \in \mathbb{N} \times \mathcal{O}_S of the above polynomial. We also give a result in the spirit of Hilbert irreducibility for such polynomials.
