%0 Journal Article %T Extensions of Schur's irreducibility results %A Shanta Laishram %A T. N. Shorey %J Mathematics %D 2013 %I arXiv %R 10.1016/j.indag.2011.03.002 %X We prove that the generalised Laguerre polynomials $L_{n}^{(\alpha)}(x)$ with $0\le \al\le 50$ are irreducible except for finitely many pairs $(n, \al)$ and that these exceptions are necessary. In fact it follows from a more general statement. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1306.0754v1
