Abstract

In this paper we study admissible polynomials. We establish an estimate for the number of admissible polynomials of degree nn with coeffients aia_i satisfying 0aiH0\leq a_i\leq H for a fixed HH, for i=0,1,2,,n1i=0,1,2, \ldots, n-1. In particular, letting N(H)\mathcal{N}(H) denotes the number of monic admissible polynomials of degree n3n\geq 3 with coefficients satisfying the inequality 0aiH0\leq a_i\leq H, we show that \begin{align}\frac{H^{n-1}}{(n-1)!}+O(H^{n-2})\leq \mathcal{N}(H) \leq \frac{n^{n-1}H^{n-1}}{(n-1)!}+O(H^{n-2}).\nonumber \end{align} Also letting A(H)\mathcal{A}(H) denotes the number of monic irreducible admissible polynomials, with coefficients satisfying the same condition , we show that \begin{align}\mathcal{A}(H)\geq \frac{H^{n-1}}{(n-1)!}+O\bigg( H^{n-4/3}(\log H)^{2/3}\bigg).\nonumber \end{align}
