On three questions concerning 0 , 1 -polynomials

We answer three reducibility (or irreducibility) questions for 0 , 1 -polynomials, those polynomials which have every coefficient either 0 or 1 . The first concerns whether a naturally occurring sequence of reducible polynomials is finite. The second is whether every nonempty finite subset of an infinite set of positive integers can be the set of positive exponents of a reducible 0 , 1 -polynomial. The third is the analogous question for exponents of irreducible 0 , 1 -polynomials.

The classical Stern sequence was extended by K.B. Stolarsky and the first author to the Stern polynomials a ( n ; x ) defined by a ( 0 ; x ) = 0 , a ( 1 ; x ) = 1 , a ( 2 n ; x ) = a ( n ; x 2 ) , and a ( 2 n + 1 ; x ) = x a ( n ; x 2 ) + a ( n + 1 ; x 2 ) ; these polynomials are Newman polynomials, i.e., they have only 0 and 1 as coefficients. In this paper we prove numerous reducibility and irreducibility properties of these polynomials, and we show that cyclotomic polynomials play an important role as factors. We also prove several related results, such as the fact that a ( n ; x ) can only have simple zeros, and...

Some applications of decomposable form equations to resultant equations

K. Győry (1993)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

1. Introduction. The purpose of this paper is to establish some general finiteness results (cf. Theorems 1 and 2) for resultant equations over an arbitrary finitely generated integral domain R over ℤ. Our Theorems 1 and 2 improve and generalize some results of Wirsing [25], Fujiwara [6], Schmidt [21] and Schlickewei [17] concerning resultant equations over ℤ. Theorems 1 and 2 are consequences of a finiteness result (cf. Theorem 3) on decomposable form equations over R. Some applications...
