COMMENTS
A necklace composition of n is a finite sequence of positive integers summing to n that is lexicographically minimal among all of its cyclic rotations.
A circular subsequence is a sequence of consecutive terms where the first and last parts are also considered consecutive.
EXAMPLE
The a(1) = 1 through a(8) = 13 necklace compositions:
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8)
(11) (12) (13) (14) (15) (16) (17)
(111) (22) (23) (24) (25) (26)
(1111) (11111) (33) (34) (35)
(222) (124) (44)
(111111) (142) (125)
