In this article, we have established a relation between total number of partitions of a positive integer n and all possible factorizations of a power series with constant term prime power pn, into irreducible power series. Finally we try to develop an irreducibility criterion for power series whose constant term is a prime power.

Abstract


In this article, we have established a relation between total number of partitions of a positive integer n and all possible factorizations of a power series with constant term prime power pn, into irreducible power series. Finally we try to develop an irreducibility criterion for power series whose constant term is a prime power.
