%N Number of chiral pairs of color patterns (set partitions) in a cycle of length n using exactly 5 colors (subsets).

%C Two color patterns are the same if the colors are permuted. A chiral cycle is different from its reverse.

%C Adnk[d,n,k] in Mathematica program is coefficient of x^k in A(d,n)(x) in Gilbert and Riordan reference.

%C There are nonrecursive formulas, generating functions, and computer programs for A056298 and A304975, which can be used in conjunction with the first formula.

%F a(n) = (A056298(n) - A304975(n)) / 2 = A056298(n) - A056360(n) = A056360(n) - A304975(n).

%F a(n) = -Ach(n,k)/2 + (1/2n)*Sum_{d|n} phi(d)*A(d,n/d,k), where k=5 is number of colors or sets, Ach(n,k) = [n>=0 & n<2 & n==k] + [n>1]*(k*Ach(n-2,k)+Ach(n-2,k-1)+Ach(n-2,k-2)), and A(d,n,k) = [n==0 & k==0] + [n>0 & k>0]*(k*A(d,n-1,k) + Sum_{j|d} A(d,n-1,k-j)).

%e For a(7)=4, the chiral pairs are AABACDE-AABCDAE, AABCBDE-AABCDED, AABCDBE-AABCDEC, and ABACBDE-ABACDBE.

%t Ach[n_, k_] := Ach[n, k] = If[n<2, Boole[n==k && n>=0], k Ach[n-2,k] + Ach[n-2,k-1] + Ach[n-2,k-2]] (* A304972 *)

%t Adnk[d_,n_,k_] := Adnk[d,n,k] = If[n>0 && k>0, Adnk[d,n-1,k]k + DivisorSum[d,Adnk[d,n-1,k-#] &], Boole[n==0 && k==0]]
