COMMENTS

From Vladimir Shevelev, Apr 23 2011 (Start)

Also number of non-equivalent necklaces of 8 beads each of them painted by one of n colors.

The sequence solves the so-called Reis problem about convex k-gons in case k=8 (see our comment to A032279).

FORMULA

G.f.: x^8/16*(1/(1 - x)^8 + 4/(1 - x^8) + 5/(1 - x^2)^4 + 2/(1 - x^4)^2 + 4/(1 - x)^2/(1 - x^2)^3) = x^8*(2*x^10 - 3*x^9 + 7*x^8 - 6*x^7 + 7*x^6 - 2*x^5 + 2*x^4 - 2*x^3 + 5*x^2 - 3*x + 1)/(1 - x)^8/(1 + x)^4/(1 + x^2)^2/(1 + x^4). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Jul 17 2002

Contribution by Vladimir Shevelev, Apr 23 2011: (Start)

Let s(n,k,d)=1, if n==k(mod d), 0, otherwise. Then

a(n)=((n+4)/32)*s(n,0,8)+((n-4)/32)*s(n,4,8)+(48*C(n-1,7)+(n+1)*(n-2)*(n-4)*(n-6))/768, if n is even; a(n)=(48*C(n-1,7)+(n-1)*(n-3)*(n-5)*(n-7))/768, if n odd.
