Feb 10, 2016 at 14:37 comment added Yusuf Gurtas My conjecture about the gap is probably not wrong but it's far from explaining the big picture. $q \mod p \not = \pm 1$ is a much better conjecture (not mine of course).
Jan 24, 2016 at 13:38 comment added user9072 Interesting observation. Thanks for sharing them.
Jan 24, 2016 at 4:56 comment added Yusuf Gurtas For example, it looks like for $3<p<q<r$ where $q=p+2,r=mpq+3$ the coefficient $c_{mpq+q}$ of $\Phi_n(x)$ is $-2$. Here $n=pqr$ and $ (p,q,r)$ is a prime triple.
Jan 24, 2016 at 0:06 comment added Yusuf Gurtas If my calculations are correct then $(5,7)$ is another pair like that. I mean the flat ones occur only within the margin of $\pm 1$. My wild guess is the gap $q-p=2$ is responsible for that.
Jan 23, 2016 at 20:13 comment added user9072 The pair $(3,7)$ is different in that $7$ is $1$ modulo $3$ and thus $\pm 2$ is flat. This is true for any pair $p<q$. I have no explanation for $\pm 10$. I have no good intuition on this problem. One could do some numerical tests.
Jan 23, 2016 at 20:08 comment added Yusuf Gurtas Is $(3,5)$ the only pair where the flat ones are squeezed in the margin of $\pm 1$? For example the "next" pair $(3,7)$ has a "gap" for $w=10,11$. I mean the flat ones occur at margin of $\pm 1,\pm 2$ as well as $\pm 10$ using the theorem you mentioned.
Jan 23, 2016 at 19:45 comment added Yusuf Gurtas Not a problem. It answers my question. Thank you very much.

Jan 23, 2016 at 18:51 comment added user9072 Come to think of it I could have used smaller primes. But I will leave it, at least for now.
