Abstract: In the classical theory, a famous by-product of the continued fraction expansion of quadratic irrational numbers $sqrtD$ is the solution to Pell's equation for $D$. It is well-known that, once an integer solution to Pell's equation exists, we can use it to generate all other solutions $$. Our object of interest is the polynomial version of Pell's equation, where the integers are replaced by polynomials with complex coefficients. We then investigate the factors of $v_n(t)$. In particular, we show that over the complex polynomials, there are only finitely many values of $n$ for which $v_n(t)$ has a repeated root. Restricting our analysis to $Qee[t]$, we give an upper bound on the number of "new" factors of $v_n(t)$ of degree at most $N$. Furthermore, we show that all "new" linear rational factors of $v_n(t)$ can be found when $nleq3$, and all "new" quadratic rational factors when $nleq6$.
