Over GF(2), x + 1 is a primitive polynomial and all other primitive polynomials have an odd number of terms, since any polynomial mod 2 with an even number of terms is divisible by x + 1 (it has 1 as a root). An irreducible polynomial F(x) of degree m over GF(p), where p is prime, is a primitive polynomial if the smallest positive integer n ...
The polynomial P = x 4 + 1 is irreducible over Q but not over any finite field. On any field extension of F 2 , P = ( x + 1) 4 . On every other finite field, at least one of −1, 2 and −2 is a square, because the product of two non-squares is a square and so we have
Given an n-bit message m 0,...,m n-1, we view it as a polynomial of degree n-1 over the finite field GF(2). = + + … +We then pick a random irreducible polynomial of degree k over GF(2), and we define the fingerprint of the message m to be the remainder () after division of () by () over GF(2) which can be viewed as a polynomial of degree k − 1 or as a k-bit number.
It follows that they are roots of irreducible polynomials of degree 6 over GF(2). This implies that, over GF(2), there are exactly 9 = 54 / 6 irreducible monic polynomials of degree 6. This may be verified by factoring X 64 − X over GF(2). The elements of GF(64) are primitive n th roots of unity for some n dividing 63.
To state it precisely, let F = GF(q) be the finite field with q elements, for some fixed q, and let N n be the number of monic irreducible polynomials over F whose degree is equal to n. That is, we are looking at polynomials with coefficients chosen from F, which cannot be written as products of polynomials of smaller degree. In this setting ...
The elements of GF(2 n), i.e. a finite field whose order is a power of two, are usually represented as polynomials in GF(2)[X]. Multiplication of two such field elements consists of multiplication of the corresponding polynomials, followed by a reduction with respect to some irreducible polynomial which is taken from the construction of the field.
Definition. For a generic degree reducible monic polynomial equation of the form , where and are polynomials and does not vanish at , the Tschirnhaus transformation is the function: Such that the new equation in , , has certain special properties, most commonly such that some coefficients, , are identically zero.

Irreducibility (mathematics) In mathematics, the concept of irreducibility is used in several ways. A polynomial over a field may be an irreducible polynomial if it cannot be factored over that field. In abstract algebra, irreducible can be an abbreviation for irreducible element of an integral domain; for example an irreducible polynomial.
