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 Allowed values of degrees of minimal polynomials of 2*cos(Pi/N).
%C The coefficients of the minimal polynomials C(N,x) of the algebraic number 2*cos(Pi/N) are given in A187360, where N is n.
%C The degree of C(N,x) is delta(N) = 1 if N=1 and delta(N) = phi(2*N)/2 if N > 1, with Euler's totient function phi(n) = A000010(n).
%C The forbidden degree values are shown in the complement (relative to the positive integers) A079695.
%C The array of the values N (the indices) for which the degree delta(N) = a(n), n >= 1, is given in A207334.
%F a(n) gives the allowed degree values, called delta, of the minimal polynomials C ordered increasingly, For C and delta see the comment section.
%e a(8) = 9 because there is at least one polynomial C(N,x) with degree delta(N)=9. In fact the only N values are 19 and 27.
%e 7 is no member of this sequence (it belongs to the complement A079695).
%Y Cf. A079695 (complement), A207334 (array of indices of C polynomials with degree a(n)).
