%N A058364 Number of ways to cover (without overlapping) a ring lattice (necklace) 
               of n sites with molecules that are 9 sites wide.
%C A058364 This comment covers a family of sequences which satisfy a recurrence 
               of the form a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-m), with a(n) = 1 for n = 1...m-1, 
               a(m) = m+1. The generating function is (x+m*x^m)/(1-x-x^m). Also 
               a(n) = 1 + n*sum(binomial(n-1-(m-1)*i, i-1)/i, i=1..n/m). This gives 
               the number of ways to cover (without overlapping) a ring lattice 
               (or necklace) of n sites with molecules that are m sites wide. Special 
               cases: m=2: A000204, m=3: A001609, m=4: A014097, m=5: A058368, m=6: 
               A058367, m=7: A058366, m=8: A058365, m=9: A058364.

%F A058364 a(n) = 1 + n*sum(binomial(n-1-8*i, i-1)/i, i=1..n/9). a(n) = a(n-1) + 
               a(n-9), a(n) = 1 for n = 1..8, a(9) = 10. generating function = (x+9*x^9)/
               (1-x-x^9).
%e A058364 a(9) = 10 because there is one way to put zero molecule to the necklace 
               and 9 ways to put one molecule.
