On a polynomial conjecture of Pál Turán
What should be assumed about the integral polynomials in order that the solvability of the congruence for sufficiently large primes p implies the solvability of the equation in integers x? We provide some explicit characterizations for the cases when are binomials or have cyclic splitting fields.
We deal with the construction of sequences of irreducible polynomials with coefficients in finite fields of even characteristic. We rely upon a transformation used by Kyuregyan in 2002, which generalizes the -transform employed previously by Varshamov and Garakov (1969) as well as by Meyn (1990) for the synthesis of irreducible polynomials. While in the iterative procedure described by Kyuregyan the coefficients of the initial polynomial of the sequence have to satisfy certain hypotheses, in the...
We consider two issues concerning polynomial cycles. Namely, for a discrete valuation domain of positive characteristic (for ) or for any Dedekind domain of positive characteristic (but only for ), we give a closed formula for a set of all possible cycle-lengths for polynomial mappings in . Then we give a new property of sets , which refutes a kind of conjecture posed by W. Narkiewicz.
