Abstract

In this paper we consider irreducibility of the polynomial composition of the form, \(\left(x^p-x+\delta_2\right)^n P \left( \frac{x^p-x+\delta_1}{x^p-x+\delta_2}\right)\), over \(\mathbb{F}_q\) under certain conditions. Furthermore, a computationally simple and explicit method of constructing recursive sequences of irreducible polynomials of degree np k : (k = 1,2,3, ⋯ ) over \(\mathbb{F}_q\) is given.
