abstract = {Let $f(x) = xⁿ + k_\{n-1\}x^\{n-1\} + k_\{n-2\}x^\{n-2\} + ⋯ +k₁x + k₀ ∈ ℤ[x]$, where $3 ≤ k_\{n-1\} ≤ k_\{n-2\} ≤ ⋯ ≤ k₁ ≤ k₀ ≤ 2k_\{n-1\} - 3$. We show that f(x) and f(x²) are irreducible over ℚ. Moreover, the upper bound of $2k_\{n-1\} - 3$ on the coefficients of f(x) is the best possible in this situation.},

Moreover, the upper bound of $2k_{n-1} - 3$ on the coefficients of f(x) is the best possible in this situation.
