Abstract
For a rational with $u, α, d\in \ACOBZ$ with , , the \emph{generalized Hermite-Laguerre polynomials } are defined by \begin{align*} G_q(x)&=a_nx^n+a_{n-1}(α+(n-1+u)d)x^{n-1}+\cdots\\ &\quad+a_1\left(\prod^{n-1}_{i=1}(α+(i+u)d)\right)x+a_0 \left(\prod^{n-1}_{i=0}(α+(i+u)d)\right) \end{align*} where are arbitrary integers. We prove some irreducibility results of when and extend some of the earlier irreducibility results when of the form . We also prove a new improved lower bound for greatest prime factor of product of consecutive terms of an arithmetic progression whose common difference is 2 and 3.
