A Swan-like note for a family of binary pentanomials
In this note, we employ the techniques of Swan (Pacific J. Math. 12(3):
1099-1106, 1962) with the purpose of studying the parity of the number of the
irreducible factors of the penatomial
, where is even and .
Our results imply that if , then the polynomial in
question is reducible
