We say that a cyclotomic polynomial \Phi_{n}(x) has order three if n is the product of three distinct primes, p<q<r. Let A(n) be the largest absolute value of a coefficient of \Phi_{n}(x) and M(p) be the maximum of A(pqr). In 1968, Sister…
The largest coefficient (in absolute value) of a cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_n$ is called its height $A(n)$. In case $p$ is a fixed prime it turns out that as $q$ and $r$ range over all primes satisfying $p<q<r$, the height $A(pqr)$ assumes…
Let $\Phi_n(x)$ denote the $n$th cyclotomic polynomial. In 1968 Sister Marion Beiter conjectured that $a_n(k)$, the coefficient of $x^k$ in $\Phi_n(x)$, satisfies $|a_n(k)|\le (p+1)/2$ in case $n=pqr$ with $p<q<r$ primes (in this case…
For a fixed prime $p$, the maximum coefficient (in absolute value) $M(p)$ of the cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_{pqr}(x)$, where $r$ and $q$ are free primes satisfying $r>q>p$ exists. Sister Beiter conjectured in 1968 that $M(p)\le(p+1)/2$. In…
Let l>=1 be an arbitrary odd integer and p,q and r primes. We show that there exist infinitely many ternary cyclotomic polynomials \Phi_{pqr}(x) with l^2+3l+5<= p<q<r such that the set of coefficients of each of them consists of the p…
A cyclotomic polynomial Phi_n(x) is said to be ternary if n=pqr with p,q and r distinct odd prime factors. Ternary cyclotomic polynomials are the simplest ones for which the behaviour of the coefficients is not completely understood. Eli…
Let $N=p_1p_2... p_n$ be a product of $n$ distinct primes. Define $P_N(x)$ to be the polynomial $(1-x^N)\prod_{1\leq i<j\leq n}(1-x^{N/(p_ip_j)})/\prod_{i=1}^n (1-x^{N/p_i})$. (When $n=2$, $P_{pq}(x)$ is the $pq$-th cyclotomic polynomial,…
An integer $n$ is said to be ternary if it is composed of three distinct odd primes. In this paper, we asymptotically count the number of ternary integers $n \leq x$ with the constituent primes satisfying various constraints. We apply our…
A unitary cyclotomic polynomial of order three is a polynomial of the form \[ \Phi^*_{PQR}(x)=\frac{(x^{PQR}-1)(x^P-1)(x^Q-1)(x^R-1)}{(x^{PQ}-1)(x^{QR}-1)(x^{RP}-1)(x-1)}, \] where $P$, $Q$ and $R$ are powers of three distinct primes $p$,…
We prove that for every $\varepsilon>0$ and a nonnegative integer $\omega$ there exist primes $p_1,p_2,\ldots,p_\omega$ such that for $n=p_1p_2\ldots p_\omega$ the height of the cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_n$ is at least…
For the $n$th cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_n$, let $A(n)$ denote the greatest absolute value of its coefficients, its height, and let $D(n)$ denote the difference between its largest and smallest coefficients, its diameter. We show that for…
Borwein and Choi conjectured that a polynomial $P(x)$ with coefficients $\pm1$ of degree $N-1$ is cyclotomic iff $$P(x)=\pm \Phi_{p_1}(\pm x)\Phi_{p_2}(\pm x^{p_1})\cdots \Phi_{p_r}(\pm x^{p_1p_2\cdots p_{r-1}})$$ where $N=p_1p_2\cdots…
A cyclotomic polynomial \Phi_n(x) is said to be ternary if n=pqr with p,q and r distinct odd primes. Ternary cyclotomic polynomials are the simplest ones for which the behaviour of the coefficients is not completely understood. Here we…
It is known that two consecutive coefficients of a ternary cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_{pqr}(x)=\sum_k a_{pqr}(k)x^k$ differ by at most one. In this paper we give a criterion on $k$ to satisfy $|a_{pqr}(k)-a_{pqr}(k-1)|=1$. We use this to…
In this paper I prove a conjecture which gives a lower bound for the largest absolute value of the coefficients of the n-th cyclotomic polynomial for some n. Moreover this estimate is essentially sharp.
We present a new bound on $A = \max_n |a_{pqr}(n)|$, where $a_{pqr}(n)$ are the coefficients of a ternary cyclotomic polynomial. We also prove that two consecutive coefficients of such a polynomial differ by at most one.
Given any positive integer $n,$ let $A(n)$ denote the height of the $n^{\text{th}}$ cyclotomic polynomial, that is its maximum coefficient in absolute value. It is well known that $A(n)$ is unbounded. We conjecture that every natural number…
For odd prime numbers $p < q$, let $\Phi_{pq} \in \mathbb{Z}[X]$ be the binary cyclotomic polynomial of order $pq$. In this paper, we prove that the second gap of $\Phi_{pq}$ is the maximum of $r-1$ and $p-r-1$, where $r$ is the remainder…
This note describes a conjecture involving cyclotomic polynomials and some initial thoughts towards a solution. Given positive integers $m,n$, the conjecture is that either $\Phi_m(q)\leqslant\Phi_n(q)$ or $\Phi_m(q)\geqslant\Phi_n(q)$…
Taking a combinatorial point of view on cyclotomic polynomials leads to a larger class of polynomials we shall call the inclusion-exclusion polynomials. This gives a more appropriate setting for certain types of questions about the…
