COMMENTS

A necklace of sets of beads is a cycle where each element of the cycle is itself a set of beads, the total size being the total number of beads.
Equivalently, a(n) is the number of cyclic compositions of n. These could also be loosely described as cyclic partitions.

FORMULA

a(n) = A000031(n-1) - 1.
G.f.: sum(k>=1, phi(k)/k * log( 1/(1-B(x^k)) ) ) where B(x)=x/(1-x); see the Flajolet/Soria reference. - Joerg Arndt, Aug 06 2012

EXAMPLE
|
E.g. the 5 necklaces for n=4 are (3, 1), (4), (1, 1, 1, 1), (2, 1, 1), (2, 2).
In the Combstruct language these can be described as Cycle(Set(Z), Set(Z), Set(Z), Set(Z)), Cycle(Set(Z, Z), Set(Z), Set(Z)), Cycle(Set(Z, Z, Z, Z)), Cycle(Set(Z, Z), Set(Z, Z)), Cycle(Set(Z), Set(Z, Z, Z)).
For n=6 the 13 necklaces are
.1: (1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1),
.2: (2, 1, 1, 1, 1),
.3: (2, 1, 2, 1).
.4: (2, 2, 1, 1),
.5: (2, 2, 2),
.6: (3, 1, 1, 1),
.7: (3, 1, 2),
.8: (3, 2, 1),
.9: (3, 3),
10: (4, 1, 1),
11: (4, 2),
12: (5, 1),
13: (6).
