Characterization of irreducible polynomials over a special principal ideal ring
A commutative ring with unity is called a special principal ideal ring (SPIR) if it is a non integral principal ideal ring containing only one nonzero prime ideal, its length is the index of nilpotency of its maximal ideal. In this paper, we show a characterization of irreducible polynomials over a SPIR of length . Then, we give a sufficient condition for a polynomial to be irreducible over a SPIR of any length .
