COMMENTS

Here two n-gons are said to be equivalent if the differ in starting point, orientation, or a rotation (but not by a reflection - for that see A000940>

FORMULA

For formula see Maple lines.

MAPLE

with(numtheory); # for n odd: Ed:=proc(n) local t1, d; t1:=0; for d from 1 to n do if n mod d = 0 then t1:=t1+phi(n/d)^2*d!*(n/d)^d; fi; od: t1/(2*n^2); end;

# for n even: Ee:=proc(n) local t1, d; t1:=2^(n/2)*(n/2)*(n/2)!; for d from 1 to n do if n mod d = 0 then t1:=t1+phi(n/d)^2*d!*(n/d)^d; fi; od: t1/(2*n^2); end; A000939:=n-> if n mod 2 = 0 then Ee(n) else Ed(n); fi;

MATHEMATICA

a[n_] := (t = If[OddQ[n], 0, 2^(n/2)*(n/2)*(n/2)!];

Do[If[Mod[n, d]==0 , t = t+EulerPhi[n/d]^2*d!*(n/d)^d], {d, 1, n}]; t/(2*n^2)); a /@ Range[3, 24]
