Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Numbers n such that the middle coefficient of the cyclotomic polynomial Phi_n(x) has a value not obtained for any smaller n.
%C Note that for n > 6, we need examine only squarefree n having three or more factors. Sequence A095878 has the values of the middle coefficient of Phi_n(x) for the n in this sequence. Note that for n = 1 and 2, Phi_n(x) is a polynomial having no middle term.
%H G. Dresden, <a href="http://dresden.academic.wlu.edu/files/2017/08/mid.pdf">On the Middle Coefficient of a Cyclotomic Polynomial</a> (MAA Monthly, 2004, 531 - 533).
%e 385 is in this sequence because the middle coefficient of Phi_385(x) is -3, which does not occur for any n < 385.
