%N a(n) = AP(n) is the total number of aperiodic k-palindromes of n, 1 <= k <= n.

%C A k-composition of n is an ordered collection of k positive integers (parts) which sum to n.

%C A k-composition is aperiodic (primitive) if its period is k, or if it is not the concatenation of a smaller composition.

%C A k-palindrome of n is a k-composition of n which is a palindrome.

%C This sequence is AP(n), the total number of aperiodic k-palindromes of n, 1 <= k <= n.

%C For example AP(6)=5 because the number n=6

%C has 1 aperiodic 1-palindrome, namely 6 itself;

%C has 1 aperiodic 3-palindrome, namely 141;

%C has 2 aperiodic 4-palindromes, namely 2112 and 1221;

%C has 1 aperiodic 5-palindrome, namely 11211.

%C This gives a total of 1+1+2+1=5 aperiodic palindromes of 6.

%C Number of achiral set partitions of a primitive cycle of n elements having up to two different elements. - _Robert A. Russell_, Jun 19 2019
