COMMENT

a(0) = 0 by convention.

The number of cycles in permutations constructed from siteswap juggling patterns 1, 123, 12345, 1234567, etc., i.e. the number of ball orbits in such patterns minus one.

Conjecture: a(n) is the number of orbits in (Z\(2n+1)Z)* generated by 2. - Vladimir Shevelev (shevelev(AT)bgu.ac.il), Apr 26 2008

FORMULA

Conjecture: a((3^n-1)/2)=n - Vladimir Shevelev (shevelev(AT)bgu.ac.il), May 26 2008

EXAMPLE

Mod 15 there are 4 cosets: {1, 2, 4, 8}, {3, 6, 12, 9}, {5, 10}, {7, 14, 13, 11}, so a(7) = 4. Mod 13 there is only one coset: {1, 2, 4, 8, 3, 6, 12, 11, 9, 5, 10, 7}, so a(6) = 1.

MAPLE

with(group); with(numtheory); gen_rss_perm := proc(n) local a, i; a := []; for i from 1 to n do a := [op(a), ((2*i) mod (n+1))]; od; RETURN(a); end; count_of_disjcyc_seq := [seq(nops(convert(gen_rss_perm(2*j), 'disjcyc')), j=0..)];

MATHEMATICA

Needs["Combinatorica`"]; f[n_] := Length[ToCycles[Mod[2Range[2n], 2n + 1]]]; Table[f[n], {n, 0, 100}] (*Chandler*)

f[n_] := Length[FactorList[x^(2n + 1) - 1, Modulus -> 2]] - 2; Table[f[n], {n, 0, 100}] (*Chandler*)

CROSSREFS

Cf. A002326 (order of 2 mod 2n+1), A139767.

a(n) = A081844(n) - 1.

a(n) = A064286(n) + 2*A064287(n).

A001917 gives cycle counts of such permutations constructed only for odd primes.
