COMMENT

All step shifts of a sequence are considered to be equivalent, where a step shift transformation is obtained by selecting every k-th element of a sequence for some k relatively prime to n. For example, 2 is relatively prime to 5 and a 2-step shift of abcde is bdace.

FORMULA

The cycle index is implicit in Titsworth.

a(n) = ( SUM[k=1..n : gcd(k,n)=1] 2^(SUM[d|n] A000010(d)/ord_d(k)) ) / A000010(n), where ord_d(k) is the multiplicative order of k modulo d. - Max Alekseyev, Jun 18 2007, corrected Nov 08 2007

PROGRAM

(PARI) { a(n) = sum(k=1, n, if(gcd(k, n)==1, 2^sumdiv(n, d, eulerphi(d)/znorder(Mod(k, d))), 0); ) / eulerphi(n) } - Max Alekseyev, Jun 18 2007, corrected Nov 08 2007
