COMMENTS
A000638 gives the number of permutation groups of degree n. Each permutation group is assigned a cumulative cycle type resulting from the cycle types of its member permutations.
EXAMPLE
The 4 cycle types of the 4 permutation groups with degree 3 may be represented by arrays of length 3 (the number of partitions of 3, A000041(3)), indicating the quantity of member permutations, whose cycle type yields a specific partition of n. The partitions are listed in graded lexicographical ordering (see A193073), here (1^3), (2,1), (3):
1. [1, 0, 0]
2. [1, 1, 0]
3. [1, 0, 2]
4. [1, 3, 2]
The cycle types belong to the permutation groups {id}, C2, C3, and S3 (all subgroups of S3).
Note: For degree n < 6 all permutation groups have different cycle types, so a(n) = A000638(n). For n = 6 there are exactly two permutation groups with the same cycle type (namely [1, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], both groups isomorphic with C2^2), so a(6) = 55 = A000638(6) - 1.
