COMMENTS

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

Also number of non-equivalent necklaces of 5 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=5. The full solution was given by H.Gupta (1979); I gave a short proof of Gupta's result and showed an equivalence of this problem and every of the following problems: enumerating the bracelets of n beads of 2 colors, k of them black, and enumerating the necklaces of k beads each of them painted by one of n colors.

a(n) is an essentially unimprovable upper estimate for the number of distinct values of the permanent in (0,1)-circulants of order n with five 1's in every row.

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

a(n)=0.4*s(n,0,5)+(n-1)*(n-3)*((n-2)*(n-4)+15)/240, if n is odd; a(n)=0.4*s(n,0,5)+(n-2)*(n-4)*((n-1)*(n-3)+15)/240, if n is even - Vladimir Shevelev, Apr 23 2011.
