Abstract: Let $mathcal{P}_n:=H^{\ast }((mathbbR{P}^{infty}{)}^n)congmathbb{F}_2[x_1,x_2,ldots,x_n]$ be the polynomial algebra over the prime field of two elements, $mathbb{F}_2.$ We investigate the Peterson hit problem for the polynomial algebra $mathcal{P}_n,$ viewed as a graded left module over the mod-$2$ Steenrod algebra, $mathcalA.$ For $n>4,$ this problem is still unsolved, even in the case of $n=5$ with the help of computers. The purpose of this paper is to continue our study of the hit problem by developing a result in cite{ph31} for $mathcal{P}_n$ in the generic degree $r(2^s-1)+m.2^s$ where $r=n=5,m=13,$ and $s$ is an arbitrary non-negative integer. Note that for $s=0,$ and $s=1,$ this problem has been studied by Phuc cite{ph20ta}, and cite{ph31}, respectively. As an application of these results, we get the dimension result for the polynomial algebra in the generic degree $d=(n-1).(2^{n+u-1}-1)+ell.2^{n+u-1}$ where $u$ is an arbitrary non-negative integer, $ellin23,67,$ and $n=6.$ One of the major applications of hit problem is in surveying a homomorphism introduced by Singer, which is a homomorphism ${\displaystyle }$Tr_n : ext{Tor}^{mathcal A}_{n, n+d} (mathbb F_2,mathbb F_2) longrightarrow (mathbb{F}_{2}{otimes}_{mathcal{A}}mathcal P_{n})_d^{GL(n; mathbb F_2)}${\displaystyle }$ from the homology of the Steenrod algebra to the subspace of $(mathbb{F}_2{otimes}_{mathcalA}mathcal{P}_n{)}_d$ consisting of all the $GL(n;mathbb{F}_2)$-invariant classes. It is a useful tool in describing the homology groups of the Steenrod algebra, $ext{Tor}_{n,n+d}^{mathcalA}(mathbb{F}_2,mathbb{F}_2).$ The behavior of the fifth Singer algebraic transfer in degree $5(2^s-1)+13.2^s$ was also discussed at the end of this paper.
