Hi,

this will give you the general form of coefficients in terms of rules:

In[1] =
Clear[k];
coeffRules =  List @@ ComplexExpand[Re[p[Exp[I Pi/k]]]] /.  x_a*y : _ : 1 :>
(x :> y)

Out[1] = {a[10]:>1,a[9]:>Cos[\[Pi]/k],a[8]:>Cos[(2 \[Pi])/k],a[7]:>Cos[(3
\[Pi])/k],a[6]:>Cos[(4 \[Pi])/k],a[5]:>Cos[(5 \[Pi])/k],a[4]:>Cos[(6
\[Pi])/k],a[3]:>Cos[(7 \[Pi])/k],a[2]:>Cos[(8 \[Pi])/k],a[1]:>Cos[(9
\[Pi])/k],a[0]:>Cos[(10 \[Pi])/k]}

This will compute the matrix of vectors of coefficients for 1<=k<=5 (5
instead of 20 just to keep
the output size reasonable):

In[2] = Table[Array[a, {10}] /. coeffRules, {k, 1, 5}]

Out[2] =
{{-1,1,-1,1,-1,1,-1,1,-1,1},{0,1,0,-1,0,1,0,-1,0,1},{-1,-(1/2),1/2,1,1/2,-(1/2),-1,-(1/2),1/2,1},{1/Sqrt[2],1,1/Sqrt[2],0,-(1/Sqrt[2]),-1,-(1/Sqrt[2]),0,1/Sqrt[2],1},{1/4
(1+Sqrt[5]),1/4 (-1+Sqrt[5]),1/4 (1-Sqrt[5]),1/4 (-1-Sqrt[5]),-1,1/4
(-1-Sqrt[5]),1/4 (1-Sqrt[5]),1/4 (-1+Sqrt[5]),1/4 (1+Sqrt[5]),1}}

Regards,
Leonid
