A214306 Triangle with entry a(n,m) giving the total number of bracelets of n beads (D_n symmetry) with n colors available for each bead, but only m distinct colors present, with m from {1, 2, ..., n} and n >= 1. 6

%N Triangle with entry a(n,m) giving the total number of bracelets of n beads (D_n symmetry) with n colors available for each bead, but only m distinct colors present, with m from {1, 2, ..., n} and n >= 1.

%C This triangle is obtained from the array A213941 by summing in row n, for n >= 1, all entries related to partitions of n with the same number of parts m.

%C a(n,m) is the total number of necklaces of n beads (dihedral D_n symmetry) corresponding to all the color multinomials obtained from all p(n,m) = A008284(n,m) partitions of n with m parts, written in nonincreasing form, by 'exponentiation'. Therefore only m from the available n colors are present, and a(n,m) gives the number of bracelets with n beads with only m of the n available colors present, for m from 1,2,...,n, and n >= 1. All of the possible color assignments are counted.

%C See the comments on A212359 for the Abramowitz-Stegun (A-St) order of partitions, and the 'exponentiation' to obtain multisets, used to encode color multinomials, from partitions. See a link in A213938 for representative multisets for given signature used to define color multinomials.

%C The row sums of this triangle coincide with the ones of array A213941, and they are given by A081721.

%F a(n,m) = Sum_{j=1..p(n,m)} A213941(n, k(n,m,1)+j-1), with k(n,m,1) = A214314(n,m) the position where in the list of partitions of n in A-St order the first with m parts appears, and p(n,m) is the number of partitions of n with m parts shown in the array A008284. E.g., n=5, m=3: k(5,3,1) = A214314(5,3) = 4, p(5,3) = 2.

%F a(n,m) = binomial(n,m) * A273891(n,m). - _Andrew Howroyd_, Mar 25 2017

%e a(2,2) = 1 from the color monomial c[1]^1*c[2]^1 = c[1]*c[2] (from the m=2 partition [1,1] of n=2). The bracelet in question is cyclic(12) (we use j for color c[j] in these examples). The same holds for the necklace case.

%e a(5,3) = 60 + 120 = 180, from A213941(5,4) + A213941(5,5), because k(5,3,1) = A214314(5,3) = 4 and p(5,3)=2.

%e a(3,1) = 3 from the color monomials c[1]^3, c[2]^3 and c[3]^3. The three bracelets are cyclic(111), cyclic(222) and cyclic(333). The same holds for the necklace case.

%e In general a(n,1)=n from the partition [n] providing the color signature (exponent), and the n color choices.

%e a(3,2) = 6 from the color signature c[.]^2 c[.]^1, (from the m=2 partition [2,1] of n=3), and there are 6 choices for the color indices. The 6 bracelets are cyclic(112), cyclic(113), cyclic(221), cyclic(223), cyclic(331) and cyclic(332). The same holds for the necklace case.

%e a(3,3) = 1. The color multinomial is c[1]*c[2]*c[3] (from the m=3 partition [1,1,1]). All three available colors are used. There is only one bracelet: cyclic(1,2,3). The necklace cyclic(1,3,2) becomes equivalent under D_3 operation.

%e a(4,2) = 24 from two color signatures c[.]^3 c[.] and c[.]^2 c[.]^2 (from the two m=2 partitions of n=4: [3,1] and [2,2]). The first one produces 4*3=12 bracelets, namely 1112, 1113, 1114, 2221, 2223, 2224, 3331, 3332, 3334, 4441, 4442 and 4443, all taken cyclically. The second color signature leads to another 6*2=12 bracelets: 1122, 1133, 1144, 2233, 2244, 3344, 1212, 1313, 1414, 2323, 2424 and 3434, all taken cyclically. Together they provide the 24 bracelets counted by a(4,2). The same holds for the necklace case.

%e a(4,3) = 24 from the color signature c[.]^2 c[.]c[.]. There are 4*3 =12 color choices each with two bracelets: 1123, 1213, 1124, 1214, 1134, 1314, 2213, 2123, 2214, 2124, 2234, 2324, 3312, 3132, 3314, 3134, 3324, 3234, 4412, 4142, 4413, 4143, 4423 and 4243, each taken cyclically.
