COMMENTS

Also a(n+1) = number of distinct (infinite) output sequences from binary n-stage shift register which feeds back the complement of the sum of its contents. E.g. for n=5 there are 6 such sequences.

Also a(n+1) = number of binary vectors (x_1,...x_n) satisfying Sum_{i=1..n} i*x_i = 0 (mod n+1) = size of Varshamov-Tenengolts code VT_0(n). E.g. |VT_0(5)| = 6 = a(6).

FORMULA

Sum {odd d divides n } (phi(d)*2^(n/d))/(2n), n>0.

EXAMPLE

For n=3 the 2 output sequences are 000111000111... and 010101...

For n=4 the 4 output sequences are those with periodic parts {0000011111, 0001011101, 0010011011, 01}.

MAPLE

PROG
