NecklacePolynomial
NecklacePolynomial[n,c,Cyclic]
returns a polynomial in the colors in c whose coefficients represent numbers of ways of coloring an n-bead necklace with colors chosen from c, assuming that two colorings are equivalent if one can be obtained from the other by a rotation.
NecklacePolynomial[n,c,Dihedral]
is different in that it considers two colorings equivalent if one can be obtained from the other by a rotation or a flip or both.
Details and Options
- To use NecklacePolynomial, you first need to load the Combinatorica Package using Needs["Combinatorica`"].
