Abstract

For a certain kind of reciprocal polynomials $P(x), Q(x)\in \mathbb{Z}[x]$, 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.

Keywords: irreducible polynomial, reciprocal polynomial, Mahler measure
