A polynomial is called self-reciprocal (or palindromic) if the sequence of its coefficients is palindromic. In this paper we enumerate self-reciprocal irreducible monic polynomials over a finite field with prescribed leading coefficients.…

The class of self-conjugate-reciprocal irreducible monic (SCRIM) polynomials over finite fields are studied. Necessary and sufficient conditions for monic irreducible polynomials to be SCRIM are given. The number of SCRIM polynomials of a…

We attempt to quantify the exact proportion of monic $p$-adic polynomials of degree $n$ which are irreducible. We find an exact answer to this when $n$ is prime and $p \neq n$, and also when $n = 4$ and $p \neq 2$. Our answers are rational…

This paper investigates whether or not polynomials that are irreducible over $\mathbb{Q}$ and $\mathbb{Z}$ can remain irreducible under substitution by all quadratic polynomials. It answers this question in the negative in the degree 2 and…

A polynomial over a ring is called decomposable if it is a composition of two nonlinear polynomials. In this paper, we obtain sharp lower and upper bounds for the number of decomposable polynomials with integer coefficients of fixed degree…

This paper presents a framework for abstracting uncertain or non-polynomial components of dynamical systems using polynomial constraints. This enables the application of polynomial-based analysis tools, such as sum-of-squares programming,…

For a set $S$ of quadratic polynomials over a finite field, let $C$ be the (infinite) set of arbitrary compositions of elements in $S$. In this paper we show that there are examples with arbitrarily large $S$ such that every polynomial in…

We classify the polynomials with integral coefficients that, when evaluated on a group element of finite order $n$, define a unit in the integral group ring for infinitely many positive integers $n$. We show that this happens if and only if…

Let f be a polynomial in two complex variables. We say that f is nearly irreducible if any two nonconstant polynomial factors of f have a common zero. In the paper we give a criterion of nearly irreducibility for a given polynomial f in…

This paper mainly studies problems about so called "permutation polynomials modulo $m$", polynomials with integer coefficients that can induce bijections over Z_m={0,...,m-1}. The necessary and sufficient conditions of permutation…

We address some questions concerning indecomposable polynomials and their spectrum. How does the spectrum behave via reduction or specialization, or via a more general ring morphism? Are the indecomposability properties equivalent over a…

The purpose of this note is to survey a methodology to solve systems of polynomial equations and inequalities. The techniques we discuss use the algebra of multivariate polynomials with coefficients over a field to create large-scale linear…

We provide an irreducibility test in the ring K[[x]][y] whose complexity is quasi-linear with respect to the discriminant valuation, assuming the input polynomial F square-free and K a perfect field of characteristic zero or greater than…

We provide a sufficient condition for a polynomial ring, not necessarily commutative, to have a first-order definition for the rational integers.

For any finite field $\mathbb{F}$ and any positive integer $n$ we count the number of monic polynomials of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{F}$ with nonzero constant coefficient and a self-reciprocal factor of any specified degree. An application…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field with $q$ elements. M. Gerstenhaber and Irving Reiner has given two different methods to show the number of matrices with a given characteristic polynomial. In this talk, we will give another proof for…

Let D be a domain with quotient field K and A a D-algebra. We call a polynomial with coefficients in K that maps every element of A to an element of A "integer-valued on A". For commutative A we also consider integer-valued polynomials in…

Polynomials whose coefficients, roots, and critical points lie in the ring of rational integers are called nice polynomials. In this paper, we present a general method for investigating such polynomials. We extend our results from the ring…

Irreducible trinomials of given degree n over $F_2$ do not always exist and in the cases that there is no irreducible trinomial of degree n it may be effective to use trinomials with an irreducible factor of degree n. In this paper we…

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for a quadratic polynomial to be irreducible in the ring $Z[[x]]$ of formal power series with integer coefficients. For $n,m\ge 1$ and $p$ prime, we show that $p^n+p^m\beta x+\alpha x^2$ is…
