In other words, the number of n-bead bracelets with beads of exactly k different colors that when turned over are different from themselves. - Andrew Howroyd, Sep 13 2019

FORMULA
T(n,k) = -(k!/4)*(S2(floor((n+1)/2),k) + S2(ceiling((n+1)/2),k)) + (k!/(2 n))*Sum_{d|n} phi(d)*S2(n/d,k), where S2(n,k) is the Stirling subset number A008277.
T(n,k) = A087854(n,k) - A273891(n,k).
T(n,k) = (A087854(n,k) - A305540(n,k)) / 2.
T(n, k) = Sum_{i=0..k} (-1)^(k-i)*binomial(k,i)*A293496(n, i). - Andrew Howroyd, Sep 13 2019

...
For T(4,3)=3, the chiral pairs are AABC-AACB, ABBC-ACBB, and ABCC-ACCB.
For T(4,4)=3, the chiral pairs are ABCD-ADCB, ABDC-ACDB, and ACBD-ADBC.
