cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

The cycle graph is defined for n>=3; extended to n=1,2 using the closed form.
Two partitions P1 and P2 of a the vertex set of a graph G are said to be equivalent if there is a nontrivial automorphism of G which maps P1 onto P2. A distinguishing partition is a partition of the vertex set of G such that no nontrivial automorphism of G can preserve it. Here T(n,k)=xi_k(C_n), the number of non-equivalent distinguishing partitions of the cycle on n vertices, with exactly k parts.
Number of n-bead bracelet structures using exactly k different colored beads that are not self-equivalent under either a nonzero rotation or reversal (turning over bracelet). Comparable sequences for unoriented (reversible) strings and necklaces (cyclic group) are A320525 and A327693. - Andrew Howroyd, Sep 23 2019

For n=7, we can partition the vertices of the cycle C_7 with exactly 3 parts, in 12 ways, such that all these partitions are distinguishing for C_7 and that all the 12 partitions are non-equivalent. The partitions are as follows:
    { { 1 }, { 2, 3 }, { 4, 5, 6, 7 } },
    { { 1 }, { 2, 3, 4, 6 }, { 5, 7 } },
    { { 1 }, { 2, 3, 4, 7 }, { 5, 6 } },
    { { 1 }, { 2, 3, 5, 6 }, { 4, 7 } },
    { { 1 }, { 2, 3, 5, 7 }, { 4, 6 } },
    { { 1 }, { 2, 3, 6 }, { 4, 5, 7 } },
    { { 1 }, { 2, 3, 7 }, { 4, 5, 6 } },
    { { 1 }, { 2, 4, 5, 6 }, { 3, 7 } },
    { { 1 }, { 2, 4, 7 }, { 3, 5, 6 } },
    { { 1, 2 }, { 3, 4, 6 }, { 5, 7 } },
    { { 1, 2 }, { 3, 5, 6 }, { 4, 7 } },
    { { 1, 2, 4 }, { 3, 6 }, { 5, 7 } }.
From _Andrew Howroyd_, Sep 23 2019: (Start)
For n=6, k=4 the partitions are:
    { { 1, 2, 4 }, { 3 }, { 5 }, { 6 } },
    { { 1, 2 }, { 3, 5 }, { 4 }, { 6 } }.
These correspond to the bracelet structures AABACD and AABCBD.
