%N Number of primitive (period n) periodic palindromes using a maximum of six different symbols.
%C Number of aperiodic necklaces with six colors that are the same when turned over and hence have reflectional symmetry but no rotational symmetry. - _Herbert Kociemba_, Nov 29 2016

%F a(n) = Sum_{d|n} mu(d)*A056488(n/d).
%F From _Herbert Kociemba_, Nov 29 2016: (Start)
%F More generally, gf(k) is the g.f. for the number of necklaces with reflectional symmetry but no rotational symmetry and beads of k colors.
%F gf(k): Sum_{n>=1} mu(n)*Sum_{i=0..2} binomial(k,i)x^(n*i)/(1-k*x^(2*n)). (End)
%e For example, aaabbb is not a (finite) palindrome but it is a periodic palindrome.
