Linear Forms in Monic Integer Polynomials
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2018
Abstract.
We prove a necessary and sufficient condition on the list of nonzero integers ${{u}_{1}},...,{{u}_{k}}$, $k\,\ge \,2$, under which a monic polynomial $f\,\in \,\mathbb{Z}\left| x \right|$ is expressible by a linear form ${{u}_{1}}\,{{f}_{1}}\,+\,\cdot \cdot \cdot \,+\,{{u}_{k}}\,{{f}_{k}}$ in monic polynomials ${{f}_{1}},...,\,{{f}_{k}}\,\in \,\mathbb{Z}\left| x \right|$. This condition is independent of $f$. We also show that if this condition holds, then the monic polynomials ${{f}_{1}},...,\,{{f}_{k}}$ can be chosen to be irreducible in $\mathbb{Z}\left[ x \right]$.
