In this paper, we obtain several new factorization results for certain classes of polynomials having integer coefficients. In doing so, we use the information about prime factorization of the value taken up by such polynomials and their…

We consider a certain left action by the monoid $SL_2(\mathbf{N}_0)$ on the set of divisor pairs $\mathcal{D}_f := \{ (m, n) \in \mathbf{N}_0 \times \mathbf{N}_0 : m \lvert f(n) \}$ where $f \in \mathbf{Z}[x]$ is a polynomial with integer…

Let $f(x) = (x^{2}+1)^{n} - a x^{n} \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ and assume $f(x)$ is irreducible. Let $\theta$ be a root of $f(x)$, set $K= \mathbb{Q}(\theta)$, and denote by $\mathbb{Z}_{K}$ the ring of integers of $K$. The index of $f$, denoted…

A sequence of nonzero integers $f = (f_1, f_2, \dots)$ is ``binomid'' if every $f$-binomid coefficient $\left[\! \begin{array}{c} n \\ k \end{array}\! \right]_f$ is an integer. Those terms are the generalized binomial coefficients: \[…

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…

In 1934, Whitney raised the question of how to recognize whether a function f defined on a closed subset X of Euclidean space is the restriction of a function that is continuously differentiable to order p. A necessary and sufficient…

Let R denote the reals, and let h: R^n --> R be a continuous, piecewise-polynomial function. The Pierce-Birkhoff conjecture (1956) is that any such h is representable in the form sup_i inf_j f_{ij}, for some finite collection of polynomials…

We show that for a random polynomial \[ F(X) = \sum_{n=1}^{N} f(n) X^{n-1}, \] where $f(n)$ is a random completely multiplicative function taking values in $\{\pm 1\}$, one has \[ \limsup_{N \to \infty} \mathbb{P}\big[F(X) \text{ is…

Given a polynomial P in several variables over an algebraically closed field, we show that except in some special cases that we fully describe, if one coefficient is allowed to vary, then the polynomial is irreducible for all but at most…

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…

In 1952, Littlewood stated a conjecture about the average growth of spherical derivatives of polynomials, and showed that it would imply that for entire function of finite order, "most" preimages of almost all points are concentrated in a…

For a field $L$ of characteristic $p$, a polynomial $f \in \overline{\mathbb{F}}_p[x]$ and $\alpha, \beta \in L$, let $\mathrm{Prep}(f;\alpha,\beta)$ be the set of all $\lambda \in \overline{L}$ such that both $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are…

Let $f$ be sampled uniformly at random from the set of degree $n$ polynomials whose coefficients lie in $\{ \pm 1\}$. A folklore conjecture, known to hold under GRH, states that the probability that $f$ is irreducible tends to $1$ as $n$…

Starting from the expression for the superdeterminant of $ (xI-M)$, where $M$ is an arbitrary supermatrix , we propose a definition for the corresponding characteristic polynomial and we prove that each supermatrix satisfies its…

An algorithm for factoring polynomials over finite fields is given by Berlekamp in 1967. The main tool was the matrix Q corresponding to each polynomial. This paper studies the degrees of polynomials over binary field that associated with…

The main purpose of this paper is solve polynomial equations that are satisfied by (generalized) polynomials. More exactly, we deal with the following problem: let $\mathbb{F}$ be a field with $\mathrm{char}(\mathbb{F})=0$ and $P\in…

An integer-valued multiplicative function $f$ is said to be polynomially-defined if there is a nonconstant separable polynomial $F(T)\in \mathbb{Z}[T]$ with $f(p)=F(p)$ for all primes $p$. We study the distribution in coprime residue…

We derive an identity that relates a class of multiple integrals involving Vandermonde polynomials to divided differences. Alternatively the identity can be viewed as an integral formula for divided differences. As part of the derivation we…

Let $f(T)$ be a monic polynomial of degree $d$ with coefficients in a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Extending earlier results in the literature, but now allowing $(q,2d)>1$, we give a criterion for $f$ to satisfy the following property: for…

In 1942 I. J. Schoenberg proved that a function is positive definite in the unit sphere if and only if this function is a positive linear combination of the Gegenbauer polynomials. In this paper we extend Schoenberg's theorem for…
