Partitions of n objects distinct under the cyclic group, C_n. By comparison the partition numbers (A000041) are the partitions distinct under the symmetric group, S_n and the set partitions are those distinct under the discrete group containing only the identity. - Franklin T.

a(p) = (Bell(p)+2*(p-1))/p for prime p; cf. A079609. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)Eunet.yu), Jul 04 2003

U(k,j) = 1 if k=0, else sum_{i=1}^k C(k-1,i-1) sum_{d|j} U(k-i,j)*d^{i-1}. Then a(n) = (sum_{j-n} phi(j)*U(n/j,j))/n. (U(k,j) is the number of partitions invariant under a permutation with k cycles of j objects each.) - Franklin T. Adams-Watters (FrankTAW(AT)Netscape.net), Jun 09 2008

Of the Bell(4)=15 set partitions of 4, only 7 remain distinct under rotation:

{{1,2,3,4}},

{{1}, {2,3,4}},

{{1,2}, {3,4}},

{{1,3}, {2,4}},

{{1}, {2}, {3,4}},

{{1}, {3}, {2,4}},

{{1}, {2}, {3}, {4}}}
