Comments

The asymmetry degree of a finite sequence of numbers is defined to be the number of pairs of symmetrically positioned distinct entries. Example: the asymmetry degree of (2,7,6,4,5,7,3) is 2, counting the pairs (2,3) and (6,5).
A sequence is palindromic if and only if its asymmetry degree is 0.

Examples

			a(6) = 6 because the compositions of 6 into odd parts are 15, 51, 33, 1113, 1131, 1311, 3111, 111111 and the sum of their asymmetry degrees is 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 0 = 6.

Formula

G.f.: g(z)= 2*z^4*(1-z^2)/((1+z^2)*(1+z-z^2)*(1-z-z^2)^2). In the more general situation of compositions into a[1]=1} z^(a[j]), we have g(z) = (F(z)^2-F(z^2))/((1+F(z))*(1-F(z))^2).
a(n) = Sum_{k>=0} k*A275440(n,k).
