%N Number of cyclic arrangements (up to direction) of numbers 1,2,...,n such that any two neighbors are coprime.

%C a(n)=NPC(n;S;P) is the count of all neighbor-property cycles for a specific set S={1,2,...,n} of n elements and a specific pair-property P of "being coprime". For more details, see the link and A242519.

%H S. Sykora, <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.3247/SL5Math14.002">On Neighbor-Property Cycles</a>, <a href="http://ebyte.it/library/Library.html#math">Stan's Library</a>, Volume V, 2014.

%F For n>2, a(n) = A086595(n)/2.

%e There are 6 such cycles of length n=5: C_1={1,2,3,4,5}, C_2={1,2,3,5,4},

%e C_3={1,2,5,3,4}, C_4={1,2,5,4,3}, C_5={1,3,2,5,4}, and C_6={1,4,3,2,5}.

%e For length n=6, the count drops to just 2:

%e C_1={1,2,3,4,5,6}, C_2={1,4,3,2,5,6}.
