Extension of Laguerre polynomials with negative arguments II

Abstract

For $n \geq 3$ and $s \leq 92$, it is proved in \cite{ShSi} that, except for finitely many pairs $(n, s), G_1(x) = G_1(x, n, s) $ is either irreducible or linear factor times an irreducible polynomial. If $s \leq 30$, we determine here explicitely the set of pairs $(n, s)$ in the above assertion. This implies a new proof of the result of Nair and Shorey \cite{NaSh1} that $G_1(x)$ is irreducible for $s \leq 22$.
