Abstract |
|
In a recent paper I gave polynomial expressions to compute the beginning coefficients of the minimal polynomials for the Gauss periods and cyclotomic units lying in the cyclotomic field Q(ξm), where ξm is a fixed m-root of unity for a prime m. Here I extend these results for circular numbers lying in Q(ξm) for m composite. My methods explain the linear recursion relations found among the beginning coefficients of the minimal polynomials for certain such circular numbers. |
