Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Integer coefficient array for polynomials related to the minimal polynomials of cos(2Pi/n). Rising powers of x.
%C The sequence of row lengths is d(n)+1, with d(n):=A023022(n), n>=2, and d(1):=1: [2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 2, 4, 3, 4, 3, 6, 3, 7, 4, 5, 5, 9, 4, 10, 5, 7,...].
%C psi(n,x):=sum(a(n,m)*x^m,m=0..d(n)), with the degree d(n):=A023022(n), n>=2, d(1):=1, equals (2^d(n))*Psi(n,x), with the minimal polynomials Psi(n,x) of cos(2*Pi/n), n>=1. See A181875/A181876 for the rational coefficient array of the monic Psi(n,x).
%C See A232624 for the (monic integer) minimal polynomials of 2*cos(2*Pi/n), called there MR2(n,x) = psi(n, x/2). - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Nov 29 2013
