%N Number of bracelets (turnover necklaces) of n beads of 2 colors, 5 of them black.

%C From _Vladimir Shevelev_, Apr 23 2011: (Start)

%C Also number of non-equivalent necklaces of 5 beads each of them painted by one of n colors.

%C The sequence solves the so-called Reis problem about convex k-gons in case k=5. The full solution was given by H. Gupta (1979); I gave a short proof of Gupta's result and showed an equivalence of this problem and every one of the following problems: enumerating the bracelets of n beads of 2 colors, k of them black, and enumerating the necklaces of k beads each of them painted by one of n colors.

%C a(n) is an essentially unimprovable upper estimate for the number of distinct values of the permanent in (0,1)-circulants of order n with five 1's in every row. (End)

%C a(n+5) is the number of symmetry-allowed, linearly-independent terms at n-th order in the series expansion of the T_1 X h vibronic perturbation matrix, H(Q) (cf. Dunn & Bates). - _Bradley Klee_, Jul 20 2015

%C From _Petros Hadjicostas_, Jul 17 2018: (Start)

%C Let (c(n): n >= 1) be a sequence of nonnegative integers and let C(x) = Sum_{n>=1} c(n)*x^n be its g.f. Let k be a positive integer. Let a_k = (a_k(n): n >= 1) be the output sequence of the DIK[k] transform of sequence (c(n): n >= 1), and let A_k(x) = Sum_{n>=1} a_k(n)*x^n be its g.f. See _Christian G. Bower_'s web link below. It can be proved that, when k is odd, A_k(x) = ((1/k)*Sum_{d|k} phi(d)*C(x^d)^(k/d) + C(x^2)^((k-1)/2)*C(x))/2.

%C For this sequence, k = 5, c(n) = 1 for all n >= 1, and C(x) = x/(1-x). Thus, a(n) = a_5(n) for all n >= 1. Since a_k(n) = 0 for 1 <= n <= k-1, the offset of this sequence is n = k = 5. Applying the formula for the g.f. of DIK[5] of (c(n): n >= 1) with C(x) = x/(1-x) and k = 5, we get A(x) = A_5(x) = x^5*((1/5)*Sum_{d|5} phi(d)*(1-x^d)^(-5/d) + (1+x)/(1-x^2)^3)/2, which obviously equals the g.f. in the formula section below.

%C The g.f. is also a special case of _Herbert Kociemba_'s formula that is valid for both even and odd k: A_k(x) = x^k*((1/k)*Sum_{d|k} phi(d)*(1-x^d)^(-k/d) + (1+x)/(1-x^2)^Floor[(k+2)/2])/2.

%C Here, a(n) is defined to be the number of n-bead bracelets of two colors with 5 black beads and n-5 white beads. But it is also the number of dihedral compositions of n with 5 positive parts. (This statement is equivalent to _Vladimir Shevelev_'s statement above that a(n) is the "number of non-equivalent necklaces of 5 beads each of them painted by one of n colors." By "necklaces" he means "turnover necklaces". See paragraph (2) of Section 2 in his 2004 paper in the Indian Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics.)

%C Two cyclic compositions of n (with k = 5 parts) belong to the same equivalence class corresponding to a dihedral composition of n if and only if one can be obtained from the other by a rotation or reversal of order. (End)

%F "DIK[ 5 ]" (necklace, indistinct, unlabeled, 5 parts) transform of 1, 1, 1, 1, ...

%F G.f.: x^5*(1-x+2*x^3-x^5+x^6)/((1-x)^2*(1-x^2)^2*(1-x^5)). - corrected for offset 5 by _Robert Israel_, Jul 22 2015

%F From _Vladimir Shevelev_, Apr 23 2011: (Start)

%F Put s(n,k,d)=1, if n == k (mod d), and 0, otherwise. Then

%F a(n) = (2/5)*s(n,0,5) + (n-1)*(n-3)*((n-2)*(n-4) + 15)/240, if n is odd >= 5;

%F a(n) = (2/5)*s(n,0,5) + (n-2)*(n-4)*((n-1)*(n-3) + 15)/240, if n is even >= 5. (End)

%F a(n+5) = floor(n^4/240 + n^3/24 + 5*n^2/24 + 25*n/48 + 1 + (-1)^n*n/16). - _Robert Israel_, Jul 22 2015

%F a(n) = (A008646(n-5) + A119963(n, 5))/2 = (A008646(n-5) + C(floor((n-1)/2), 2))/2 for n >= 5. - _Petros Hadjicostas_, Jul 17 2018

%e From _Petros Hadjicostas_, Jul 17 2018: (Start)

%e Every n-bead bracelet of two colors such that 5 beads are black and n-5 are white can be transformed into a dihedral composition of n with 5 positive parts in the following way. Start with one B bead and go in one direction (say clockwise) until you reach the next B bead. Continue this process until you come back to the original B bead.

%e Let b_i be the number of beads from B bead i until you reach the last W bead before B bead i+1 (or B bead 1). Here, b_i = 1 iff there are no W beads between B bead i and B bead i+1 (or B bead 5 and B bead 1). Then b_1 + b_2 + b_3 + b_4 + b_5 = n, and we get a dihedral composition of n. (Of course, b_2 + b_3 + b_4 + b_5 + b_1 and b_5 + b_4 + b_3 + b_2 + b_1 belong to the same equivalence class of the dihedral composition b_1 + b_2 + b_3 + b_4 + b_5.)

%e For example, a(8) = 5, and we have the following bracelets with 5 B beads and 3 W beads. Next to the bracelets we list the corresponding dihedral compositions of n with k=5 parts (they must be viewed on a circle):

%e BBBBBWWW <-> 1+1+1+1+4

%e BBBBWBWW <-> 1+1+1+2+3

%e BBWBBBWW <-> 1+2+1+1+3

%e BWBBWBWB <-> 2+1+2+2+1

%e BWBWBWBB <-> 2+2+2+1+1
