Abstract
A second order polynomial sequence is of Fibonacci-type (Lucas-type ) if its Binet formula has a structure similar to that for Fibonacci (Lucas) numbers. Under certain conditions these polynomials are irreducible if and only if is a prime number. For example, the Fibonacci polynomials, Pell polynomials, Fermat polynomials, Lucas polynomials, Pell-Lucas polynomials, Fermat-Lucas polynomials are irreducible when is a prime number; and Chebyshev polynomials (second kind), Morgan-Voyce polynomials (Fibonacci type), and Vieta polynomials are reducible when is a prime number. In this paper we give some theorems to determine whether the Fibonacci type polynomials and Lucas type polynomials are irreducible when is prime.
