For an arbitrary finite set S of natural numbers greater 1, we construct an integer-valued polynomial f, whose set of lengths in Int(Z) is S. The set of lengths of f is the set of all natural numbers n, such that f has a factorization as a…
We prove a function field analogue of Maynard's result about primes with restricted digits. That is, for certain ranges of parameters n and q, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of irreducible polynomials of degree n over a…
In this paper we find exact formulas for the numbers of partitions and compositions of an element into $m$ parts over a finite field, i.e. we find the number of nonzero solutions of the equation $x_1+x_2+...+x_m=z$ over a finite field when…
Motivated by a question of van der Poorten about the existence of infinite chain of prime numbers (with respect to some base), in this paper we advance the study of sequences of consecutive polynomials whose coefficients are chosen…
It is known that the weight (that is, the number of nonzero coefficients) of a univariate polynomial over a field of characteristic zero is larger than the multiplicity of any of its nonzero roots. We extend this result to an appropriate…
We present an efficient deterministic algorithm which outputs exact expressions in terms of $n$ for the number of monic degree $n$ irreducible polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ of characteristic $p$ for which the first $l < p$ coefficients…
We propose an algorithm for determining the irreducible polynomials over finite fields, based on the use of the companion matrix of polynomials and the generalized Jordan normal form of square matrices.
Let $\F_q$ ($q=p^r$) be a finite field. In this paper the number of irreducible polynomials of degree $m$ in $\F_q[x]$ with prescribed trace and norm coefficients is calculated in certain special cases and a general bound for that number is…
We examine the behavior of the coefficients of powers of polynomials over a finite field of prime order. Extending the work of Allouche-Berthe, 1997, we study a(n), the number of occurring strings of length n among coefficients of any power…
We determine, in a polynomial ring over a field, the arithmetical rank of certain ideals generated by a set of monomials and one binomial.
We study the number of prime polynomials of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$ in which the $i^{th}$ coefficient is either preassigned to be $a_i \in \mathbb{F}_q$ or outside a small set $S_i \subset \mathbb{F}_q$. This serves as a function…
We obtain explicit factorizations of reduced period polynomials of degree $2^m$, $m\ge 4$, for finite fields of characteristic $p\equiv 3$ or $5\pmod{8}$. This extends the results of G. Myerson, who considered the cases $m=1$ and $m=2$, and…
This paper investigates the number of monic integer polynomials of degree $n$ whose roots are all real and positive. We establish an asymptotic formula for the case of fixed trace by estimating the number of integer sequences satisfying…
For any positive integers $n \ge 3$ and $r \ge 1$, we prove that the number of monic irreducible polynomials of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{F}_{2^r}$ in which the coefficients of $T^{n-1}$, $T^{n-2}$ and $T^{n-3}$ are prescribed has period…
In this paper, a randomized algorithm for deciding the irreducibility of an irreducible polynomial and factoring a reducible polynomial over the field of rational numbers is presented. The main idea underlying the algorithm is based on…
In this paper we establish function field versions of two classical conjectures on prime numbers. The first says that the number of primes in intervals (x,x+x^epsilon] is about x^epsilon/log x and the second says that the number of primes…
We give an asymptotic formula for the number of monic Eisenstein polynomials of odd prime degree satisfying an additional condition that arises in the study of the genus number of an algebraic number field.
We establish asymptotic upper bounds on the number of zeros modulo $p$ of certain polynomials with integer coefficients, with $p$ prime numbers arbitrarily large. The polynomials we consider have degree of size $p$ and are obtained by…
In this paper, we introduce a certain method to construct polynomials producing many absolute pseudoprimes. By this method, we give new polynomials producing absolute pseudoprimes with any fixed number of prime factors which can be viewed…
Using polynomial evaluation, we give some useful criteria to answer questions about divisibility of polynomials. This allows us to develop interesting results concerning the prime elements in the domain of coefficients. In particular, it is…
