%N A276059 Sum of the asymmetry degrees of all compositions of n with parts in {3,4,5,6, ...}.
%C A276059 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).
%C A276059 A sequence is palindromic if and only if its asymmetry degree is 0.

%F A276059 G.f. g(z) = 2*z^7*(1-z)/((1+z)*(1-z+z^3)*(1-z-z^3)^2). In the more general situation of compositions into a[1]<a[2]<a[3]<..., denoting F(z) = Sum_{j>=1} z^(a[j]), we have g(z) = (F(z)^2-F(z^2))/((1+F(z))*(1-F(z))^2).

%e A276059 a(7) = 2 because the compositions of 7 with parts in {3,4,5,...} are 7, 34, and 43 and the sum of their asymmetry degrees is 0+1+1.
