Abstract. For a certain kind of reciprocal polynomials P (x), Q(x) ∈ Z[x], their sums are considered. We demonstrate that the Mahler measure of polynomials plays a role to prove the irreducibility of the sums over the field of rationals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
