Abstract

Given an odd prime pp, we provide formulas for the Hensel lifts of polynomial roots modulo pp, and give an explicit factorization over the ring of formal power series with integer coefficients for certain reducible polynomials whose constant term is of the form pwp^w with w>1w>1. All of our formulas are given in terms of partial Bell polynomials and rely on the inversion formula of Lagrange.
