Let A1 := 118464154434645263860267343997297625073515299575810526009609590494555875212753237432077051783988309701763476345132077575492035913941539680031806906994000003063163805121640021467690282290325426999148751; and A2 := 2; Now consider the differential operator (in Maple notation): _Envdiffopdomain := [Dx,x]; # Means that Dx = d/dx L4 := Dx^4+(-2*A2*x^2-2*A1)*Dx^2-4*A2*x*Dx+A1^2-3*A2+A2^2*x^4+2*A2*x^2*A1; This L4 is reducible in Q(x)[Dx]. Given a factorization of A1 one can quickly factor L4 in Q(x)[Dx]. The difficulty is that at the moment (in 2002) the integer A1 is too large for currently available integer factorizers. I offer a $100 reward (valid until 2012) for anyone who can find an irreducible factor of L4 in Q(x)[Dx] (send to hoeij@math.fsu.edu).
