%N Number of compositions of n whose circular differences are all 1 or -1.

%C A composition of n is a finite sequence of positive integers summing to n.

%C The circular differences of a composition c of length k are c_{i + 1} - c_i for i < k and c_1 - c_i for i = k. For example, the circular differences of (1,2,1,3) are (1,-1,2,-2).
