Demonstration for the formula: the classes are either of size 1 or 2.

The classes of size 1 is for functions invariant by reversal. They are specified by half their values, including one more if n is odd. Their number is n^(ceiling(n/2)).

So the number of classes under this symmetry is half (the number of functions + the number of classes of size 1).

a(n) is the number of unoriented length n strings with a maximum of n colors. - Andrew Howroyd, Sep 13 2019
