Abstract

We prove that the generalized Laguerre polynomials Ln(α)(x) with 0≤α≤50 are irreducible except for finitely many pairs (n,α) and that these exceptions are necessary. In fact, we consider a more general polynomials fa(x) of degree n. Except for explicitly given Initely many pairs (n; a), we show that fa(x) with 0 ≤ a ≤ 40 are either irreducible or linear polynomial times an irreducible polynomial of degree n −1. This is derived from a more general result proved in the paper.
