Abstract:Erdös and Niven proved in 1946 that for any positive integers m and d, there are at most finitely many integers n   for which at least one of the elementary symmetric functions of 1/m,1/(m+d),…,1/(m+(n−1)d)1/m,1/(m+d),,1/(m+(n1)d) are integers. Recently, Wang and Hong refined this result by showing that if n?4n?4, then none of the elementary symmetric functions of 1/m,1/(m+d),…,1/(m+(n−1)d)1/m,1/(m+d),,1/(m+(n1)d) is an integer for any positive integers m and d. Let f   be a polynomial of degree at least 2 and of nonnegative integer coefficients. In this paper, we show that none of the elementary symmetric functions of 1/f(1),1/f(2),…,1/f(n)1/f(1),1/f(2),,1/f(n) is an integer except for f(x)=xmf(x)=xm with m?2m?2 being an integer and n=1n=1.
