Abstract

We provide an irreducibility test and factoring algorithm (with some qualificiations) for formal power series in the unique factorization domain R((X)), where R is any principal ideal domain. We also classify all integral domains arising as quotient rings of R((X)). Our main tool is a generalization of the p-adic Weierstrass preparation theorem to the context of complete filtered commutative rings.
