%N a(n) is the number of 2n-bead necklaces with exactly n different colored beads.

%H Wikipedia, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necklace_(combinatorics)">Necklace combinatorics</a>

%F a(n) = A087854(2*n,n) = (n!/(2*n)) * Sum_{d|2*n} phi(d) * S2(2*n/d, n) where S2(n,k) are the Stirling numbers of the second kind.

%F a(n) = (n!/(2*n))*(S2(2*n, n)+1) since S2(n, n) = 1 and S2(2*n/d, n) = 0 if d>2.

%e a(2) = 4, corresponding to the necklaces WBBB, WBWB, WWBB, and WWWB.
