Relation Functions Evaluated from Unique Coefficient Patterns

Abstract

In this paper, we study polynomials of the form $f(x)=(x^n+x^{n-1}+...+1)^l$ for $l=1,2,3,4$ to generate a pattern titled "unique coefficient pattern". Namely, we analyze each unique coefficient patterns of $f(x)$ and generate functions titled "relation functions". The approach that we follow will allow us to evaluate desired coefficients for such polynomial expansions by simply using these relation functions.
