Let A(n) denote the largest absolute value of the coefficients of n-th cyclotomic polynomial ${\Phi}_n(x)$ and let p < q < r be odd primes. In this note, we give an infinite family of cyclotomic polynomials ${\Phi}_{pqr}(x)$ with A(pqr) = 3, without fixing p.

A cyclotomic polynomial ${\Phi}_n(x)$ is said to be ternary if n = pqr for three distinct odd primes p < q < r. Let A(n) be the largest absolute value of the coefficients of ${\Phi}_n(x)$. If A(n) = 1 we say that ${\Phi}_n(x)$ is flat. In this paper, we classify all flat ternary cyclotomic polynomials ${\Phi}_{pqr}(x)$ in the case $q{\equiv}{\pm}1$ (mod p) and $4r{\equiv}{\pm}1$ (mod pq).

The scaled inverse of a nonzero element a(x) ∈ ℤ[x]/f(x), where f(x) is an irreducible polynomial over ℤ, is the element b(x) ∈ ℤ[x]/f(x) such that a(x)b(x) = c (mod f(x)) for the smallest possible positive integer scale c. In this paper, we investigate the scaled inverse of (xⁱ - x^j) modulo cyclotomic polynomial of the form Φ_p^s (x) or Φ_p^sq^t (x), where p, q are primes with p < q and s, t are positive integers. Our main results are that the coefficient size of the scaled inverse of (xⁱ - x^j) is bounded by p - 1 with the scale p modulo Φ_p^s (x), and is bounded by q - 1 with the scale not greater than q modulo Φ_p^sq^t (x). Previously, the analogous result on cyclotomic polynomials of the form Φ_2ⁿ (x) gave rise to many lattice-based cryptosystems, especially, zero-knowledge proofs. Our result provides more flexible choice of cyclotomic polynomials in such cryptosystems. Along the way of proving the theorems, we also prove several properties of {x^k}_k∈ℤ in ℤ[x]/Φ_pq(x) which might be of independent interest.

In this article we show a recursive method to compute the coefficients of the minimal polynomial of cos($2{\pi}/n$) explicitly for $n{\geq}3$. The recursion is not on n but on the coefficient index. Namely, for a given n, we show how to compute ei of the minimal polynomial ${\sum_{i=0}^{d}}(-1)^ie_ix^{d-i}$ for $i{\geq}2$ with initial data $e_0=1$, $e_1={\mu}(n)/2$, where ${\mu}(n)$ is the $M{\ddot{o}}bius$ function.
