For nonnegative n, characteristic function of positive integers. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Aug 01 2011.

Number of binary bracelets of n beads, 0 of them 0. Number of binary bracelets of n beads, 1 of them 0. Number of binary bracelets of n beads, 0 of them 0, with 00 prohibited. For n>=2, a(n-1) is the number of binary bracelets of n beads, one of them 0, with 00 prohibited. [From Washington Bomfim, Aug 27 2008]
