  • Abstract
    Swanʹs theorem [Pacific J. Math. 12 (1962) 1099–1106] determines the parity of the number of irreducible factors of a binary trinomial. This paper does the same for a binary tetranomial. When phrased in terms of the periodic portion of the factor-parity sequence, the result in several cases is comparable in simplicity to Swanʹs result for square-free trinomials.
