%N Number of necklaces with 9 black beads and n-9 white beads.

%C The g.f. is Z(C_9,x)/x^9, the 9-variate cycle index polynomial for the cyclic group C_9, with substitution x[i]->1/(1-x^i), i=1,...,9. Therefore by Polya enumeration a(n+9) is the number of cyclically inequivalent 9-necklaces whose 9 beads are labeled with nonnegative integers such that the sum of labels is n, for n=0,1,2,... See A102190 for Z(C_9,x). See the comment in A032191 on the equivalence of this problem with the one given in the `Name' line. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Feb 15 2005
