%S A107861 2,3,7,9,31,19,127,81,343,211,2047,361,8191,2059,14221,6561,131071,6859,

%U A107861 4239481,536870911,1360291,2147483647,43046721
%N A107861 Number of unique values in the sums of all subsets of the n-th roots 
               of unity.
%C A107861 Note that a(6)=19, a(12)=19^2 and a(18)=19^3. Similarly, a(10)=211 and 
               a(20)=211^2. For prime n, a(n)=2^n-1. For powers of 2, we have a(2^n)=3^(2^(n-1)). 
               It appears David W. Wilson's conjectured formula for A103314 may 
               apply to this sequence also. Observe that due to symmetry, n divides 
               a(n)-1.
%H A107861 T. D. Noe, <a href="http://www.sspectra.com/math/RootSums.html">Sums 
               of Roots of Unity Plots</a>
%e A107861 a(1)=2 as there are two distinct sums: the sum of empty subset of roots 
               is 0 and the sum of {1} is 1.
%o A107861 { a(n) = local(S=Set()); forvec(c=vector(n,i,[0,1]), S=setunion(S,[Pol(c)%polcyclo(n)])); 
               length(S) } (Max Alekseyev)
%Y A107861 Cf. A103314 (number of subsets of the n-th roots of unity summing to 
               zero).
