Abstract
A class of univariate polynomials is defined which make the Berlekamp-Hensel factorization algorithm take an exponential amount of time. The class contains as subclasses the Swinnerton-Dyer polynomials discussed by Berlekamp and a subset of the cyclotomic polynomials. Aside from shedding light on the complexity of polynomial factorization this class is also useful in testing implementations of the Berlekamp-Hensel and related algorithms.
