%N Number of n-bead necklace structures using exactly two different colored beads.

%C Turning over the necklace is not allowed. Colors may be permuted without changing the necklace structure.

%F From _Robert A. Russell_, Mar 08 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: Sum_{ d>0 } phi(d)*(2*log(1-x^d) - (1+[d == 0 mod 2])*log(1-2*x^d)) / (2*d);

%F a(n) = (1/n)*Sum_{d|n} phi(d) * S2(n/d + [d == 0 mod 2], 2), where S2(n, k) is the Stirling subset number, A008277. (End)

%e For a(7) = 9, the color patterns are AAAAAAB, AAAAABB, AAAABAB, AAAABBB, AAABAAB, AABAABB, AABABAB, AAABABB, and AAABBAB. The first seven are achiral; the last two are a chiral pair. - _Robert A. Russell_, Mar 08 2018
