Abstract
For the polynomial , we consider the Zsigmondy set associated to the numerators of the sequence . In this paper, we provide an upper bound on the largest element of . As an application, we show that the largest element of the set is bounded above by when , with and . Furthermore, when with and , we also deduce a result of Krieger [Int. Math. Res. Not. IMRN, 23 (2013), pp. 5498-5525] as a consequence of our main result.
