Hi,

you have to tell Mathematica what form you want.

Assume e.g. that we want the form (A^2 + a1 A + a0)(A^2 + b1 A + b0). 

Then we expand, equate the coefficients of A and solve for a0,a1,b0,b1:

r1=CoefficientList[(A^2+A a1+a0)(A^2+b1 A+ b0)//Expand,A]

r2=CoefficientList[A^4+3+y^2,A]

Solve[Thread[r1==r2],{a0,a1,b0,b1}]

this gives several possible expansions.
