COMMENTS
|
Two color patterns are the same if the colors are permuted. A chiral cycle is different from its reverse.
Adnk[d,n,k] in Mathematica program is coefficient of x^k in A(d,n)(x) in Gilbert and Riordan reference.
There are nonrecursive formulas, generating functions, and computer programs for A056299 and A304976, which can be used in conjunction with the first formula.

FORMULA
|
a(n) = -Ach(n,k)/2 + (1/2n)*Sum_{d|n} phi(d)*A(d,n/d,k), where k=5 is number of colors or sets, Ach(n,k) = [n>=0 & n<2 & n==k] + [n>1]*(k*Ach(n-2,k)+Ach(n-2,k-1)+Ach(n-2,k-2)), and A(d,n,k) = [n==0 & k==0] + [n>0 & k>0]*(k*A(d,n-1,k) + Sum_{j|d} A(d,n-1,k-j)).

EXAMPLE

For a(8)=9, the chiral pairs are AABACDEF-AABCDEAF, AABCADEF-AABCDAEF, AABCBDEF-AABCDEFE, AABCDBEF-AABCDEFD, AABCDEBF-AABCDEFC, AABCDCEF-AABCDEDF, ABACDEBF-ABACDEBF, ABCADBEF-ABCADECF, and ABCDAEBF-ABCADBEF.
