Title
A Generalization of Bevelacqua's Irreducibility Criterion.
Abstract
Let f = a(0) + a(1)x + center dot center dot center dot + a(n)x(n) is an element of Z[x] be such that a(0) >= a(1) >= center dot center dot center dot >= a(n) > 0. If either a(0) is prime, or an is prime and a(n) >= a(0)/q where q denotes the smallest prime divisor of a(0), we show that f is irreducible in Z[x] if and only if the list (a(0), a(1),..., a(n)) does not consist of (n + 1)/d consecutive constant lists of length d > 1. This result generalizes the irreducibility criterion given by A. J. Bevelacqua previously in this MONTHLY.
