It will be nice if I can do it by prescribing the branches (polynomials $p,q$) and then to seek for an irreducible polynomial having at the originprescribed singularity having same qualities as $p(x,y)\cdot q(x,y)$?

How to make a polynomial irreducible?

I have two (or more) polynomials $p(x,y)$, $q(x,y)$ going through $[0,0]$. Can I easily produce another irreducible polynomial having at the origin singularity having same qualities as $p(x,y)\cdot q(x,y)$? Nice candidate is $p(x,y)\cdot q(x,y) + x^{(deg_x p + deg_x q)}y^{(deg_y p + deg_y q)}$, but I cannot prove it.

I need to generate polynomials having complicated singularities to test an algorithm. It will be nice if I can do it by prescribing the branches (polynomials $p,q$) and then to seek for an irreducible polynomial having the prescribed singularity.

I will be also grateful for any relevant reference to the literature. Many thanks.
