FORMULA

Let x = x_1x_2x_3... and x^alpha = x_1^(alpha_1)x_2^(alpha_2)x_3^(alpha_3).... Let Phi = set of all primitive necklaces. If b is a primitive necklace then C(b) = Content(b) = (beta_1, beta_2,beta_3,.....) where beta_i = the number of times i occurs in b. For example if b=[11233] then C(b) = (2,1,2). To generate the p(alpha) we do the following. sum_alpha p(alpha)x^alpha = prod_(b in Phi) prod_(k = 1)^infinity 1/(1- x^(c(b) times k )) = prod_(b in Phi) prod_(k = 1)^infinity (1+ x^(k times C(b)) + x^(2k times C(b)) + x^(3k times C(b)) + ....)

Contribution from Paul D. Hanna (pauldhanna(AT)juno.com), Nov 26 2009: (Start)

a(n) = [x^n] Product_{k>=1} 1/(1 - n*x^k) for n>0.

a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} A008284(n,k)*n^k, where A008284(n,k) = number of partitions of n in which the greatest part is k, 1<=k<=n. (End)

EXAMPLE

E.g p((2,1)) = # H-conjugacy classes of S_3 where H = Yng((2,1)) isom S_2 times S_1 . Then a(3) = p((3)) + p((2,1)) + p((2,0,1)) + p((1,2)) + p((1,1,1))+ p((1,0,2)+ p((0,2,1)) + p((0,1,2)) + p((0,0,3)) = 3+4+4+4+6+4+3+4+4+3 = 39
