COMMENT

The number of polynomials of a given degree that satisfy the conditions {1) monic, 2) integer coefficients and 3) all roots in the unit disc} is finite. This is an old theorem of Kronecker.

The irreducible polynomials with this property consist of f(x)=x plus the cyclotomic polynomials. - Frank Adams-Watters (FrankTAW(AT)Netscape.net), Jul 19 2006

FORMULA

Euler transform of b(n) where b(n) = A014197(n) except for n=1, where b(n) = 3 instead of 2; cumulative sum of A120963. - Frank Adams-Watters (FrankTAW(AT)Netscape.net), Jul 19 2006

EXAMPLE

a(1)=3 because the only monic, linear, polynomials with coefficients in Z and all their roots in the unit disc are f(z)=z, g(z)=z-1, h(z)=z+1
