COMMENTS

The g.f. for the sequence {b(N,p)}, with b(N,p) the number of cyclically inequivalent two-color, N bead necklaces with p beads of one color and N-p beads of the other color is, for prime numbers p, G(p(n),x):=P(p(n)-1,x)/((1-x)^(p(n)-1)*(1-x^p(n))), with the numerator polynomial P(p(n)-1,x):= sum(r(n,k)*x^k,k=0..p(n)-1) and the row polynomials of this triangle r(n,k):=sum(a(k,m)*p(n)^m,m=0..k). p(n)=A000040(n) (prime numbers).

Row sums (signed) give A000142(k)=k!. Row sums (unsigned) coincide with A007680(k)=(2*k+1)*k!, k>=0.

The (unsigned) column sequences are, for m=0..10: A000774, A081052, A103719-A103727.

FORMULA

a(k, m)= ((-1)^m)*(|S1(k+1, m+1)| + |S1(k+1, m+2)|) = ((-1)^m)*(|S1(k+2, m+2)|-k*|S1(k+1, m+2)|), with the (signed) Stirling number triangle S1(n, m)= A048994(n, m), n>=>m=0.

a(0, 0)=1, a(k, 0)=(k-1)!+k*a(k-1, 0); a(k, m)= -a(k-1, m-1) + k*a(k-1, m), m>0 and a(k, m)=0 if k<m.

Let B = (n+1)-th row of Stirling cycle numbers (unsigned, A008275); say a,b,c,d. Then A, n-th row of present triangle = ((a+b), (b+c), (c+d), (d)). E.g. 4-th row of the Stirling cycle numbers = (6, 11, 6, 1). Then third row of A103718 = ((6+11), (11+6), (6+1), (1)) = (17, 17, 7, 1). - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), May 07 2006
