A232965 Number of circular n-bit strings that, when circularly shifted by 3 bits, do not have coincident 1's in any position. 1

COMMENTS
a(n) = L[n/gcd(n,3)]^gcd(n,3) where L[n] is the Lucas sequence (A000032).
K[n;s] = L[n/gcd(n,s)]^gcd(n,s) counts circular n-bit strings that, when circularly shifted by s bits, do not have coincident 1's in any position. K[n,s] = #{x|((x<<<s)&x) = (0,...,0)}, where <<<s denotes a left circular shift by s bits and & is the bitwise AND function.
K[n;1] = L[n] is the Lucas sequence; K[n;2] is the Fielder sequence A001638; K[n;3] is this sequence.

FORMULA
K[n;3] satisfies the (empirical) linear recurrence a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) - a(n-3) + a(n-4) +a(n-5) + a(n-6) - a(n-7) - a(n-8), n > 8, derived from the denominator polynomial (1+phi^(-1)*x)*(1-phi*x)*(1-phi^(-1)*x^3)*(1+phi*x^3) of the generating function, where phi = (1+sqrt(5)/2), the golden ratio.
Empirical g.f.: -x*(x-1)*(8*x^6+15*x^5+9*x^4+4*x^3+3*x+1) / ((x^2+x-1)*(x^6-x^3-1)). - Colin Barker, Oct 10 2015
EXAMPLE
K[1;3] = L[1] = 1; K[2;3] = L[2] = 3; K[3;3] = L[1] = 1; K[4;3] = L[4] = 7; K[5;3] = L[5] = 11; K[6;3] = L[2]^3 = 27; K[7;3] = L[7] = 29; K[8;3] = L[8] = 47.
