%N A138475 Least k such that the x^n coefficient of cyclotomic polynomial Phi(k,
               x) has the largest possible magnitude.
%C A138475 The maximum possible magnitude of the x^n coefficient is A138474(n). 
               Note that a(0)=0 because we assume Phi(0,x)=1; another convention 
               has Phi(0,x)=x, which would force a(0) and a(1) to be reversed.
%C A138475 It appears that (1) for n>80, a(n) has an even number of prime factors 
               and (2) for prime n>80, n divides a(n). Terms up to n=128 were found 
               by exhaustive search; subsequent terms were found by a much faster 
               hill-climbing method.

%e A138475 a(7)=105 because the cyclotomic polynomial Phi(105,x) has the term -2x^7.
%t A138475 coef[k_,n_] := Module[{t, b=Table[0,{k+1}]}, t=-MoebiusMu[n]*Table[g=GCD[n,
               k-m]; MoebiusMu[g]*EulerPhi[g], {m,0,k-1}]; b[[1]]=1; Do[b[[j+1]]

               -n as a coefficient).
