%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.

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.

%Y A107861 Cf. A103314 (number of subsets of the n-th roots of unity summing to
zero).
