Abstract

It is well known, that if polynomial with rational coefficients of degree nn takes integer values in points 0,1,...,n0,1,...,n then it takes integer values in all integer points. Are there sets of n+1n+1 points with the same property in other integral domains? We show that answer is negative for the ring of Gaussian integers Z[i]\mathbb{Z}[i] when nn is large enough. Also we discuss the question about minimal possible size of set, such that if polynomial takes integer values in all points of this set then it is integer-valued.
