A228785 Table of coefficients of the algebraic number s(2*l+1) = 2*sin(Pi/(2*l+1)) as a polynomial in odd powers of rho(2*(2*l+1)) = 2*cos(Pi/(2*(2*l+1))) (reduced version). 6

%N Table of coefficients of the algebraic number s(2*l+1) = 2*sin(Pi/(2*l+1)) as a polynomial in odd powers of rho(2*(2*l+1)) = 2*cos(Pi/(2*(2*l+1))) (reduced version).

%C In the regular (2*l+1)-gon, l >= 1, inscribed in a circle of radius R the length ratio side/R is s(2*l+1) = 2*sin(Pi/(2*l+1)). This can be written as a polynomial in the length ratio (smallest diagonal)/side in the (2*(2*l+1))-gon given by rho(2*(2*l+1)) = 2*cos(Pi/(2*(2*l+1))). This leads, in a first step, to the signed triangle A111125. Because of the minimal polynomial of the algebraic number rho(2*(2*l+1)) of degree delta(2*(2*l+1)) = A055034(2*(2*l+1)), called C(2*(2*l+1),x) (with coefficients given in A187360), one can eliminate all powers rho(2*(2*l+1))^k with k >= delta(2*(2*l+1)) by using C(2*(2*l+1),rho(2*(2*l+1))) = 0. This leads to the present table expressing s(2*(l+1)) in terms of odd powers of rho(2*(2*l+1)) with maximal exponent delta(2*(2*l+1))-1.

%C This table gives the coefficients of s(2*l+1), related to the (2*l+1)-gon, in the power basis of the algebraic number field Q(rho(2*(2*l+1))) of degree delta(2*(2*l+1)), related to rho from the (2*(2*l+1))-gon, provided one inserts zeros for the even powers, starting each row with a zero and filling zeros at the end in order to obtain the row length delta(2*(2*l+1)). Note that some trailing zeros in the present table (e.g., row l = 10) have been given such that the row length for the s(2*l+1) coefficients in the power basis Q(rho(2*(2*l+1))) becomes just twice the one of this table.

%C Thanks go to Seppo Mustonen for telling me about his findings regarding the square of the sum of all length in the regular n-gon, which led me to consider this entry (even though for odd n this is not needed because only s(2*l+1)^2 = 4 - rho(2*l+1)^2 enters).

%F a(l,m) = [x^(2*m+1)](s(2*l+1,x)(mod C(2*(2l+1),x))), with s(2*l+1,x) = sum((-1)^(l-1-s)* A111125(l1,s)*x^(2*s+1), s=0..l-1), l >= 1, m=0, ..., (delta(2*(2*l+1))/2 - 1), with delta(n) = A055034(n).

%F Rows 9,15,21,27 are coefficients of polynomials in reciprocal powers of u for rows n=2,4,6,8 generated by the o.g.f. (u-4)/(u-ux+x^2) of A267633. These polynomials in u occur in a moving average of the polynomials of A140882 interlaced with these polynomials. - _Tom Copeland_, Jan 16 2016

%e n = 29 l = 14: -27, 819, -7371, 30888, -72930, 107406, -104652, 69768, -32319, 10395, -2277, 324, -27, 1.

%e n = 5, l=2: s(5) = -3*rho(10) + rho(10)^3 = (tau - 1)*sqrt(2 + tau), approximately 1.175570504, where tau = (1 + sqrt(5))/2 (golden section).

%e n = 17, l = 8: s(17) = -15*x + 140*x^3 - 378*x^5 + 450*x^7 - 275*x^9 + 90*x^11 - 15*x^13 + 1*x^15, with x = rho(34) = 2*cos(Pi/34). s(17) is approximately 0.3674990356. With the length row l = 8 the degree of the algebraic number s(17) = 2*sin(Pi/17) is therefore 2*8 = 16. See A228787 for the decimal expansion of s(17) and A228788 for the one of rho(34).
