%N Number of n-bead binary necklaces (no turning over allowed) that avoid the subsequence 110.

%C The pattern in this enumeration must be contiguous (all three values next to each other in one sequence of three letters).

%C The proofs of all my formulas below become evident once it is realized that A001612(n) gives the number of cyclic sequences of length n consisting of zeros and ones that avoid the pattern 001 (or equivalently, the pattern 110) provided the positions of zeros and ones on a circle are fixed. Everything else follows from the material that can be found in A001612. - _Petros Hadjicostas_, Jan 11 2017

%F From _Petros Hadjicostas_, Jan 11 2017: (Start)

%F For all the formulas below, assume n>=1.

%F a(n) = 1 + A000358(n). (Notice the different offsets.)

%F a(n) = 1 + (1/n) * Sum_{d|n} totient(n/d)*(Fibonacci(d-1)+Fibonacci(d+1)).

%F a(n) = (1/n) * Sum_{d divides n} totient(n/d)*A001612(d).

%F G.f. = x/(1-x) + Sum_(k>=1} phi(k)/k * log(1/(1-B(x^k))) where B(x)=x*(1+x). (This is a modification of a formula due to _Joerg Arndt_.)

%F G.f. = Sum_{k>=1} phi(k)/k * log(1/C(x^k)) where C(x) = (1-x)*(1-B(x)). (End)

%F a(n) = 1 + (1/n) * Sum_{d|n} A000010(n/d)*A000204(d). [After the second formula above given by Hadjicostas]. - _Antti Karttunen_, Jan 12 2017

%e The following necklace

%e . 1-1

%e . / \

%e . 0 0

%e . | |

%e . 1 1

%e . \ /

%e . 0-0

%e contains one instance of the subsequence starting in the upper left corner. Unlike a bracelet, the necklace is oriented.
