Streszczenie
If $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ are relatively prime polynomials in $\mathbb Z[x]$ satisfying certain conditions arising from a theorem of Capelli and if $n$ is an integer $> N$ for some sufficiently large $N$, then the non-reciprocal part of $f(x) x^{n} + g(x)$ is either identically $\pm1$ or is irreducible over the rationals. This result follows from work of Schinzel in 1965. We show here that under the conditions that $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ are relatively prime $0,1$-polynomials (so each coefficient is either $0$ or $1$) and $f(0) = g(0) = 1$, one can take $N = \deg g + 2\max\{ \deg f, \deg g \}$.
