Abstract: Let s_v denote the pure power sum sum_{k=1}^n z_k^v. In a previous paper we proved that sqrt n <= inf_{|z_k| => 1} max_{v=1,...,n^2} |s_v| <= sqrt{n+1} when n+1 is prime. In this paper we prove that inf_{|z_k| = 1} max_{v=1,...,n^2-n} |s_v| = sqrt{n-1} when n-1 is a prime power, and if 2 <= i <= n-1 and n => 3 is a prime power then inf_{|z_k| => 1} max_{v=1,...,n^2-i} |s_v| =sqrt n. We give explicit constructions of n-tuples (z_1,...,z_n) which we prove are global minima for these problems. These are two of the few times in Turan power sum theory where solutions in the inf max problem can be explicitly calculated.
