A159908 Number of pairs (p,q) of primes p <= q <= r=prime(n) such that the cyclotomic polynomial Phi(p*q*r) has no coefficient > 1 in absolute value. 3

COMMENTS

The cyclotomic polynomial Phi[pqr] (p,q,r primes) can only have coefficients with absolute value > 1 if p,q,r are distinct odd primes. This sequence also counts the trivial cases where (1): p=2, or (2): p=q, or (3): q=r. The number of these cases is A008486(n-1). Sequence A159909 counts only the nontrivial cases.
