Abstract: The multi-variable Schmidt polynomials are defined by ${\displaystyle }$ S_n^{(r)}(x_0,ldots,x_n):=sum_{k=0}^n {n+k choose 2k}^{r}{2kchoose k} x_k. ${\displaystyle }$ We prove that, for any positive integers $m$, $n$, $r$, and $varepsilon=pm1$, all the coefficients in the polynomial ${\displaystyle }$ sum_{k=0}^{n-1}varepsilon^k(2k+1) S_k^{(r)}(x_0,ldots,x_k)^m ${\displaystyle }$ are multiples of $n$. This generalizes a recent result of Pan on the divisibility of sums of Ap'ery polynomials.
