Streszczenie
A recent paper of Sawin, Shusterman and Stoll introduces the notion of robust pairs of polynomials in $\mathbb Z[x]$ and shows that under a condition of robustness the polynomial $f(x) x^{n} + g(x)$ has an irreducible non-reciprocal part provided $n$ is larger than an explicit bound depending only on $f(x)$ and $g(x)$. We establish an improved lower bound.
