%N Number of chiral pairs of rows of length 5 using up to n colors.

%H <a href="/index/Rec#order_06">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (6, -15, 20, -15, 6, -1).

%F a(n) = (n^5 - n^3) / 2.

%F a(n) = (A000584(n) - A000578(n)) / 2.

%F a(n) = A000584(n) - A168178(n) = A168178(n) - A000578(n).

%F G.f.: (Sum_{j=1..5} S2(5,j)*j!*x^j/(1-x)^(j+1) - Sum_{j=1..3} S2(3,j)*j!*x^j/(1-x)^(j+1)) / 2, where S2 is the Stirling subset number A008277.

%F G.f.: x * Sum_{k=1..4} A145883(5,k) * x^k / (1-x)^6.

%F E.g.f.: (Sum_{k=1..5} S2(5,k)*x^k - Sum_{k=1..3} S2(3,k)*x^k) * exp(x) / 2, where S2 is the Stirling subset number A008277.

%F For n>5, a(n) = Sum_{j=1..6} -binomial(j-7,j) * a(n-j).

%e For a(0)=0 and a(1)=0, there are no chiral rows using fewer than two colors. For a(2)=12, the chiral pairs are AAAAB-BAAAA, AAABA-ABAAA, AAABB-BBAAA, AABAB-BABAA, AABBA-ABBAA, AABBB-BBBAAA, ABAAB-BAABA, ABABB-BBABA, ABBAB-BABBA, ABBBB-BBBBA, BAABB-BBAAB, and BABBB-BBBAB.
