Also if gcd(k,L)=1 and Ek(L) denotes the exponent of k mod L: M(k,L)=L*Ek(L)/gcd(L,1+k+..+k^(Ek(L)-1))." %C A002729 Number of two-colored necklaces of length n, where similar necklaces are counted only once. Two necklaces of length n, given by color functions c and d from {0, ..., n-1} to N (set of natural numbers) are considered similar iff there is a factor f, 0 < f < n, satisfying GCD (f,n) = 1, such that, for all k from {0, ..., n-1}, d(f * k mod n) = c(k). I.e. the bead at position k is moved to f * k mod n. In other words: the sequence counts the orbits of the action of the multiplicative group {f | 0 < f < n, GCD (f,n) = 1} on the set of two-colored necklaces where f maps c to d with the formula above. - Matthias Engelhardt (Matthias.R.Engelhardt(AT)web.de) %C A002729 Counts the same necklaces as A000029 but some of the necklaces viewed as distinct in A000029 are now viewed as equal. In particular, this implies that a(n) <= A000029(n) for every n. %D A002729 N. J. A. Sloane, A Handbook of Integer Sequences, Academic Press, 1973 (includes this sequence). %D A002729 N. J. A.
