Lists of Polynomials with Small Mahler Measure

Complete List to Degree 44

The complete list of irreducible, noncyclotomic polynomials having degree at most 44 and Mahler measure below 1.3.

Known Polynomials Through Degree 72

All known irreducible, noncyclotomic polynomials with degree at most 72 and Mahler measure below 1.3 (143K html). The smallest measure listed for each degree is known to be the minimal measure (greater than 1) up to degree 54.

Known Polynomials Through Degree 180

All known irreducible, noncyclotomic polynomials with degree at most 180 and Mahler measure less than 1.3 (125K gzip'd text). This includes 42 new polynomials with degree at least 174 found by Petr Lisonek in January 2000, 19 additional polynomials with degree at least 174 found by Georges Rhin and Jean-Marc Sac-Epée in 2003, and three more polynomials (one each of degrees 46, 48, and 52), found by Rhin, Mossinghoff, and Wu in 2008.

Small Salem Numbers

All known Salem numbers less than 1.3.
