A string and its reverse are considered to be equivalent. Permuting the colors will not change the structure.
Number of k-block partitions of an n-set up to reflection.
T(n,k) = pi_k(P_n) which is the number of non-equivalent partitions of the path on n vertices, with exactly k parts. Two partitions P1 and P2 of a graph G are said to be equivalent if there is a nontrivial automorphism of G which maps P1 onto P2. - Mohammad Hadi Shekarriz, Aug 21 2019
