COMMENT

Also number of necklaces with 2n beads, n white and n black (to get the correspondence, start at root, walk around outside of tree, use white if move away from the root, black if towards root).

Also number of terms in polynomial expression for permanent of generic circulant matrix of order n.

a(n)=number of equivalence classes of n-compositions of n under cyclic rotation. (Given a necklace, split it into runs of white followed by a black bead and record the lengths of the white runs. This gives an n-composition of n.) a(n)=number of n-multisets in Z mod n whose sum is 0. - David Callan (callan(AT)stat.wisc.edu), Nov 05 2003

FORMULA

a(n) = sum {d|n} (phi(n/d)*C(2d, d))/(2n), n>0.

Or, equally, a(n) = (1/n) sum {d|n} (phi(n/d)*C(2d-1, d)), n>0.

a(n) = A047996(2*n,n) . - DELEHAM Philippe (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Jul 25 2006

MAPLE

with(numtheory): A003239 := proc(n) local t1, t2, d; t2 := divisors(n); t1 := 0; for d in t2 do t1 := t1+phi(n/d)*binomial(2*d, d)/(2*n); od; t1; end;

spec := [ C, {B=Union(Z, Prod(B, B)), C=Cycle(B)}, unlabeled ]; [seq(combstruct[count](spec, size=n), n=0..40)];

PROGRAM

(PARI) a(n)=if(n<1, n >= 0, sumdiv(n, k, eulerphi(n/k)*C(2*k, k))/(2*n)) where C(n, k)=if(k<0|k>n, 0, n!/k!/(n-k)!)
