%N Number of integer-sided polygons having perimeter n, modulo rotations but not reflections.

%C Rotations are counted only once, but reflections are considered different. For a polygon to be nondegenerate, the longest side must be shorter than the sum of the remaining sides (equivalently, shorter than n/2). These are row sums of A293819.

%C A formula is given in Section 6 of the East and Niles article.

%C The same article shows that a(n) is asymptotic to 2^n / n.

%e There are 11 polygons having perimeter 7: 2 triangles (331, 322), 4 quadrilaterals (3211, 3121, 3112, 2221), 3 pentagons (31111, 22111, 21211), 1 hexagon (211111) and 1 heptagon (1111111).
