FORMULA
a(n) = A000029(n) - 1.
a(n) = A056342(n) + 1.
G.f.: ( Sum_{n>=1} phi(n)*log(2+1/(-1+x^n))/n + (1-1x^2+x^3)/((x-1)*(1-2*x^2)) )/(-2). - Herbert Kociemba, Dec 04 2016
EXAMPLE
7 has 15 partitions and 64 compositions. Compositions can be mapped to other compositions by reflection, cycling, or both, e.g., {1,2,4} -> {4,2,1} (reflection), {2,4,1} (cycling), or {1,4,2} (both); this defines the equivalence relation used. The number of equivalence classes so defined is 2 greater than the number of partitions because only {3,1,2,1} and {2,1,2,1,1} (and their equivalents) cannot be mapped to the conventionally stated forms of partitions (here, {3,2,1,1} and {2,2,1,1,1} respectively). So a(7) = 15 + 2 = 17.
