%N Coefficients of polynomial whose zeros are the Möbius function.

%C Also determinant polynomial whose roots are the Möbius function A008683, see formula section.

%C The table (A054431 - x*A051731) starts:

%C {

%C {1 - x, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1},

%C {1 - x, -x, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1},

%F Let A be the lower triangular matrix: if n mod k = 0 then 1 else 0.

%F Let B the upper triangular matrix: if k mod n = 0 then A008683(n) else 0.

%F The polynomial is then: determinant(A.B - x*A) where . stands for matrix multiplication and * stands for normal multiplication like 2*3=6. x is the variable to solve for: polynomial = determinant(A054431 - x*A051731).

%e The table of polynomial coefficients starts:

%e {

%e { 0},

%e { 1, -1},

%e {-1, 0, 1},

%e { 1, 1, -1, -1},

%e { 0, -1, -1, 1, 1},

%e { 0, 1, 2, 0, -2, -1},

%e { 0, 1, 1, -2, -2, 1, 1},

%e { 0, -1, -2, 1, 4, 1, -2, -1},

%e { 0, 0, 1, 2, -1, -4, -1, 2, 1},

%e { 0, 0, 0, -1, -2, 1, 4, 1, -2, -1},

%e { 0, 0, 0, -1, -1, 3, 3, -3, -3, 1, 1},
