Mitosis of convex polygons, by Scott R. Shannon and N. J. A. Sloane, Dec 13 2021 (Start)
Borrowing a term from biology, we can think of this process as the "mitosis" of a regular polygon. Row 6 of this triangle shows that a regular hexagon "mitoses" into 18 triangles and 4 quadrilaterals, which we denote by 3^18 4^6.
What if we start with a convex but not necessarily regular n-gon? Let M(n) denote the number of different decompositions into cells that can be obtained. For n = 3, 4, and 5 there is only one possibility. For n = 6 there are two possibilities, 3^18 4^6 and 3^19 4^3 5^3. For n = 7 there are at least 11 possibilities. So the sequence M(n) for n >= 3 begins 1, 1, 1, 2, >=11, ...
The links below give further information. See also A350000. (End)

In contrast to A007678, which only counts the polygons, this sequence also counts the n segments of the circle bounded by the arc of the circle and the straight line, both joining two neighboring points on the circle. Therefore a(n) = A007678(n) + n. - M. F. Hasler, Dec 12 2021

Wouter Meeussen, Mar 11 2005

The term a(0) = 1 counts the single zero-sum subset of the (by convention) empty set of zeroth roots of 1.
I am inclined to believe that if S is a zero-sum subset of the n-th roots of 1, that n can be built up from (zero-sum) cyclically balanced subsets via the following operations: 1. A U B, where A and B are disjoint. 2. A - B, where B is a subset of A. - David W. Wilson, May 19 2005
Lam and Leung's paper, though interesting, does not apply directly to this sequence because it allows repetitions of the roots in the sums.
Observe that 2^n=a(n) (mod n). Sequence A107847 is the quotient (2^n-a(n))/n. - T. D. Noe, May 25 2005
From Max Alekseyev, Jan 31 2008: (Start)
Every subset of the set U(n) = { 1=r^0, r^1, ..., r^(n-1) } of the n-th power roots of 1 (where r is a fixed primitive root) defines a binary word w of the length n where the j-th bit is 1 iff the root r^j is included in the subset.
If d is the period of w with respect to cyclic rotations (thus d|n) then the periodic part of w uniquely defines some binary Lyndon word of the length d (see A001037). In turn, each binary Lyndon word of the length d, where dThe binary Lyndon words of the length n are different in this respect: only some of them correspond to n distinct zero-sum subsets of U(n) while the others do not correspond to such subsets at all. A110981(n) gives the number of binary Lyndon words of the length n that correspond to zero-sum subsets of U(n). (End)

a(n) = A070894(n)+1.
a(2^n) = 2^(2^(n-1)). - Dan Asimov and Gareth McCaughan, Mar 11 2005
a(2n) = a(n)^2 if n is even. If p, q are primes, a(pq) = 2^p+2^q-2. In particular, if p is prime, a(2p) = 2^p + 2. - Gareth McCaughan, Mar 12 2005
a(n) == 2^n (mod n), a(p) = 2 (p prime). - David W. Wilson, May 08 2005
It appears that a(n) = a(s(n))^(n/s(n)) where s(n) = A007947(n) is the squarefree kernel of n. This is true if all zero-sum subsets of the n-th roots of 1 are formed by set operations on cyclic subsets. If true, A103314 is determined by its values on squarefree numbers (A005117). Some consequences would be a(p^n) = 2^p^(n-1), a(p^m q^n) = (2^p+2^q+2)^(p^(m-1) q^(n-1)) and a(p^2 n) = a(pn)^p for primes p and q. - David W. Wilson, May 08 2005
a(pn) = a(n)^p when p is prime and p|n; a(2p) = 2^p+2 when p is an odd prime. More generally a(pq) = 2^p+2^q-2 when p, q are distinct primes. - Gareth McCaughan, Mar 12 2005
For distinct odd primes p and q, a(2pq) = (2^p+2)^q + (2^q+2)^p - 2(2^p+1)^q - 2(2^q+1)^p + 2^(pq) + SUM[j=0..p] binomial(p,j)(2^j+2^(p-j))^q. - Sasha Rybak, Sep 21 2007.
a(n) = n*A110981(n) + 2^n - n*A001037(n). - Max Alekseyev, Jan 14 2008

This includes intersection points outside of the n-gon. Note that for odd n, n divides a(n); for even n, n divides a(n)-1. For odd n, it appears that a(n)=n*(n^3-7*n^2+15*n-1)/8.

That formula for odd n is correct: see the Sidorenko link. - N. J. A. Sloane, Sep 12 2021

In a drawing the distinction between simple and multiple intersection points may be difficult due to near-coincidences. E.g. there are no coincident intersections for n=7.
Note that 3 divides a(2k)-1 and a(2k+1). - T. D. Noe, Jun 29 2005
The interior intersection points only can be the result of the concurrency of 2 or 3 segments by construction. It is easy to see that the total number of 2-intersections N2 is 3*(n-1)^2 (which includes every 3-intersection as two 2-intersections) by symmetry. But we are interested in excluding the concurrency of more than 2. By Ceva's theorem necessary and sufficient condition for 3 concurrent segments that connect the edges with the opposite side, the number of 3-intersections N3 is the same as the number of (i,j,k) belonging to [1,n-1]x[1,n-1]x[1,n-1] such that (i/(n-i))*(j/(n-j))*(k/(n-k))=1. Thus the terms a(n)=N2-2*N3. - Herman Jamke (hermanjamke(AT)fastmail.fm), Oct 26 2006
If n is even then a(n) < 3*(n-1)^2; if n is odd then a(n) = 3*(n-1)^2 except for n in A332378. - N. J. A. Sloane, Feb 14 2020

			a(3)=12 because the 3*2 line segments intersect each other in 12 distinct points (see pictures given at link)

When n is odd, there are no intersections in the interior of an n-gon where more than 2 diagonals meet.
When n is not a multiple of 6, there are no intersections in the interior of an n-gon where more than 3 diagonals meet.
When n is not a multiple of 30, there are no intersections in the interior of an n-gon where more than 5 diagonals meet.
I checked the following conjecture up to n=210: "An n-gon with n=30k has 5n points where 6 or 7 diagonals meet and no points where more than 7 diagonals meet; If k is odd, then 6 diagonals meet in each of 4n points and 7 diagonals meet in each of n points; If k is even, then no groups of exactly 6 diagonals meet in a point, while exactly 7 diagonals meet in each of 5n points."

			a(6)=60 because inside a regular 12-gon there are 60 points (4 on each radius and 1 midway between radii) where exactly three diagonals intersect.
