Sažetak

We study root separation of reducible monic integer polynomials of odd degree. Let H(P) be the naïve height, sep(P) the minimal distance between two distinct roots of an integer polynomial P(x) and sep(P) = H(P)^(-e(P)). Let e_r*(d) = lim sup_{deg(P)=d, H(P)→+∞} e(P), where the lim sup is taken over the reducible monic integer polynomials P(x) of degree d. We prove that e_r*(d) ≤ d - 2. We also obtain a lower bound for e_r*(d) for d odd, which improves previously known lower bounds for e_r*(d) when d ∈ {5, 7, 9}.
