Comments

a(n) is also the total number of cyclic compositions of n into odd parts assuming that two compositions are equivalent if one can be obtained from the other by a cyclic shift. For example, a(5)=3 because 5 has the following three cyclic compositions into odd parts: 5, 1+3+1, 1+1+1+1+1. - Petros Hadjicostas, Dec 27 2016
