%N Number of factors of Chebyshev polynomial S(2*n+1, x) (A049310) over the integers. Factorization is into the minimal integer polynomials C (A187360).

%C For the factorization of the Chebyshev S polynomials (coefficients in A049310) with odd index into the minimal polynomials of {2*cos(Pi/k)}_{k>=1} (coefficients in A187360) see an Apr 12 2018 comment in A049310.

%C Note that factors -C(k, -x) may appear also and they come always together with C(k, x) (the minus signs are not counted as factors here). C(2, x) = x is always a factor.

%C For the number of factors of S(2*n, x) see 2*(tau(2*n+1) - 1) = 2*A095374(n).

%H Antti Karttunen, <a href="/A302707/b302707.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..65537</a>

%F a(n) = tau_{odd}(n+1) + tau(2*(n+1)) - 2, n >= 0, with tau_{odd} = A001227 and tau = A000005.

%F G.f.: Sum_{k>=1} (x^(k-1)/(1-x^(2*k)) + x^(k-1)*(2+x^k)/(1-x^(2*k))) - 2/(1-x).

%e a(2) = 4 because S(5, x) = 3*x-4*x^3+x^5 = x*(-1 + x)*(1 + x)*(-3 + x^2) = C(2, x)*C(3, x)*(-C(3, -x))*C(6, x).

%e a(5) = 6 because S(11, x) = -6*x + 35*x^3 - 56*x^5 + 36*x^7 - 10*x^9 + x^11 = x*(-1 + x)*(1 + x)*(-2 + x^2)*(-3 + x^2)*(1 - 4*x^2 + x^4) = C(2, x)*C(3, x)*(-C(3, -x))*C(4, x)*C(6, x)*C(12, x).

%o (PARI)

%o A001227(n) = numdiv(n>>valuation(n,2));
