The part

for(int i=1; i<n; i++)
    {
        x[i]=sqrt(y[i]*i);
        cout<<"x"<<i<<": "<<x[i]<<endl;
    }

isn't working wll, for some elements the result is non, i thought that i because the numbers are complex, but not with include complex i get the same resut.. can anyone help me

#include<iostream>
#include<math.h>
#include <complex>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int n,elem[20];
    float y[20],A[20];
    complex<float>  x[20];

    cout<<"Number of elements?"<<endl;
    cin>>n;
    cout<<"Insert elements:"<<endl;
    for(int i=0; i<n; i++)
    {
        cin>>elem[i];

    }


    A[0]=pow(elem[0],2);

    for(int j=1; j<n; j++)
    {
        A[j]=pow(elem[j],2);

            int i=1;
            while((i+j)<=n-1&&(i<=j))
            {

                A[j]=A[j]+pow((-1),i)*2*(elem[j-i]*elem[j+i]);
                i=i+1;

            }


            cout<<"A"<<j<<":"<<A[j]<<endl;


    }

    for(int i=1; i<n; i++)
    {
        y[i]=A[i]/-A[i-1];
        cout<<"y"<<i<<": "<<y[i]<<endl;
    }

    for(int i=1; i<n; i++)
    {
        x[i]=sqrt(y[i]*i);
        cout<<"x"<<i<<": "<<x[i]<<endl;
    }

}

What is it that you are trying to do? If you are trying to square each element in the vector/array then it would be y[i]*y[I] but I doubt that's your problem but I don't exactly know what it is you want to do so can you be more specific?

it isn't working

Probably obvious for you, not for us. Please explain EXACTLY what is not working. (error messages, program behavior etc.)
To ovecome the overhead of the pow((-1),i) expression on line 32, I usually use something like: int sign = -1; before the while loop.
And

A[j] = A[j] + sign*2*(elem[j-i]*elem[j+i]);
i = i+1;
sign = -sign;

in the while loop.
