The DIK transform of the sequence (c(n): n >= 1), with g.f. C(x) = Sum_{n >= 1} c(n)*x^n, has g.f. -(1/2)*Sum_{m >= 1} (phi(m)/m))*log(1-C(x^m)) + (1 + C(x))^2/(4*(1-C(x^2))) - 1/4.

Here, c(1) = 5 and c(n) = 0 for n >= 2, and thus, C(x) = 5*x. Substituting this to the above g.f., we get that the g.f. of the current sequence is A(x) = Sum_{n >= 1} a(n)*x^n = -(1/2)*Sum_{m >= 1} (phi(m)/m))*log(1-5*x^m) + (1 + 5*x)^2/(4*(1-5*x^2)) - 1/4. This agrees with Herbert Kociemba's g.f. below except for an extra 1 because (1 + (1+5*x+10*x^2)/(1-5*x^2))/2 = 1 + (1 + 5*x)^2/(4*(1-5*x^2)) - 1/4.

Formula

"DIK" (bracelet, indistinct, unlabeled) transform of 5, 0, 0, 0, ...

a(n) = A081720(n,5), n >= 1. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jun 03 2012

G.f.: (1 - Sum_{n>=1} phi(n)*log(1 - 5*x^n)/n + (1+5*x+10*x^2)/(1-5*x^2))/2. - Herbert Kociemba, Nov 02 2016

a(n) = (3/2)*5^(n/2) + (1/(2*n))*Sum_{d|n} phi(n/d)*5^d, if n is even, and = (1/2)*5^((n+1)/2) + (1/(2*n))*Sum_{d|n} phi(n/d)*5^d, if n is odd. - Petros Hadjicostas, Sep 01 2018

a(n) = (A001869(n) + A056487(n+1)) / 2 = A278641(n) + A056487(n+1) = A001869(n) - A278641(n). - Robert A. Russell, Oct 13 2018

a(n) = (k^floor((n+1)/2) + k^ceiling((n+1)/2))/4 + (1/(2*n))*Sum_{d divides n} phi(d)*k^(n/d), where k=5 is the maximum number of colors. - Richard L. Ollerton, May 04 2021

a(n) = (k^floor((n+1)/2) + k^ceiling((n+1)/2))/4 + (1/(2*n))*Sum_{i=1..n} k^gcd(n,i), where k=5 is the maximum number of colors. (See A051137.) - Richard L. Ollerton, May 04 2021

Example

For n=2, the 15 bracelets are AA, AB, AC, AD, AE, BB, BC, BD, BE, CC, CD, CE, DD, DE, and EE. - Robert A. Russell, Sep 24 2018
