%N Number of necklaces with 11 black beads and n-11 white beads.

%C The g.f. is Z(C_11,x)/x^11, the 11-variate cycle index polynomial for the cyclic group C_11, with substitution x[i]->1/(1-x^i), i=1..11. By Polya enumeration, a(n+11) is the number of cyclically inequivalent 11-necklaces whose 11 beads are labeled with nonnegative integers such that the sum of labels is n, for n=0,1,2,... See A102190 for Z(C_11,x). See the comment in A032191 on the equivalence of this problem with the one given in the `Name' line. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Feb 15 2005

%F a(n) = ceiling(binomial(n, 11)/n)) (conjecture _Wolfdieter Lang_).

%F From _Herbert Kociemba_, Oct 11 2016: (Start)

%F This conjecture indeed is true.

%F Sketch of proof:

%F There are binomial(n,11) ways to place the 11 black beads in the necklace with n beads. If n is not divisible by 11 there are no necklaces with a rotational symmetry. So exactly n necklaces are equivalent up to rotation and there are binomial(n,11)/n = ceiling(binomial(n,11)/n) equivalence classes.

%F If n is divisible by 11 the only way to get a necklace with rotational symmetry is to space out the 11 black beads evenly. There are n/11 ways to do this and all ways are equivalent up to rotation. So there are binomial(n,11) - n/11 unsymmetric necklaces which give binomial(n,11)/n - 1/11 equivalence classes. If we add the single symmetric equivalence class we get Binomial(n,11)/n - 1/11 + 1 which also is ceiling(binomial(n,11)/n). (End)

%F G.f.: (10/(1 - x^11) + 1/(1 - x)^11)*x^11/11. - _Herbert Kociemba_, Oct 16 2016
