On shifted Eisenstein polynomials

We study polynomials with integer coefficients which become Eisenstein polynomials after the additive shift of a variable. We call such polynomials shifted Eisenstein polynomials. We determine an upper bound on the maximum shift that is needed given a shifted Eisenstein polynomial and also provide a lower bound on the density of shifted Eisenstein polynomials, which is strictly greater than the density of classical Eisenstein polynomials. We also show that the number of irreducible degree (n) polynomials that are not shifted Eisenstein polynomials is infinite. We conclude with some numerical results on the densities of shifted Eisenstein polynomials.
