%N Primes p for which one of the two factors in the factorization of the polynomial Sum_{i=0..p-1} p^i*x^(2i) has only positive coefficients.

%C This polynomial factors iff p == 1 mod 4, but the positivity behavior seems restricted to p == 5 mod 8 with 149 as the first exception.

%e For p=5 we have 625x^8+125x^6+25x^4+5x^2+1=(25x^4+25x^3+15x^2+5x+1)(25x^4-25x^3+15x^2-5x+1)

%o (PARI) posipoly(pol) = {for (i=1, poldegree(pol), if (polcoeff(pol, i) <0, return(0));); return (1);}

%o lista(n) = {forprime(p=3, n, fp = factor(sum(i=0, p-1, p^i*x^(2*i))); if (matsize(fp) == [2, 2], if (posipoly(fp[2,1]) || posipoly(fp[1,1]), print1(p, ", "));););} \\ _Michel Marcus_, Apr 14 2013
