The authors considered polynomials with integer coefficients and discussed

their factorization properties in ℤ [[x]], the ring of formal power series over ℤ.
Treating polynomials of arbitrary degree given sufficient conditions for their
reducibility as power series. Moreover, if a polynomial is reducible over ℤ
[[x]], they provided an explicit factorization algorithm. For polynomials whose
constant term is a prime power, the study leads to the discussion of p-adic
integers[1]. Dutta and Saikia have established a relation between total number
of partitions of a positive integer n and all possible factorizations of a power
series with constant term prime power pn, into irreducible power series. Finally
they tried to develop an irreducibility criterion for power series whose constant
term is a prime power[2]. Heat is a form of energy which is transient in nature
and it flows from one point to another point. When two bodies of different
temperatures come in contact with each other, the two temperatures approach
each other and after some time become equal[3].
