A Generalization of Eisenstein-Schönemann’s Irreducibility Criterion

Abstract

Abstract The Eisenstein criterion is a particular case of the Schönemann’s irreducibility criterion stated in 1846. In 1906, based on Newton polygon techniques, Dumas gave a generalization of the Eisenstein criterion. In this paper, we extend this last generalization. Some applications on factorization of polynomials, and prime ideal factorization will be given, too.
