COMMENTS
See A056371, A002729 for an explanation of step shifts. Under step cyclic shifts, abcde, bdace, bcdea, cdeab and daceb etc. are equivalent.
Equivalently, the number of mappings with domain {0..n-1} and codomain {1..m} up to equivalence. Mappings A and B are equivalent if there is a d, prime to n, and a t such that A(i) = B((i*d + t) mod n) for i in {0..n-1}.
All column sequences are polynomials of order n.
