%N Sum of ceiling(n/per(w)) over all binary words of length n.

%C The period per(w), for w = w[1..n] a word, is the least p >= 1 such that w[i] = w[i+p] for 1 <= i <= n-p.

%C Asymptotically we have a(n) ~ 1.732213...*2^n.

%e For n = 3 there are two words of period 1 (000 and 111), two words of period 2 (010 and 101), and all other words are of period 3. So a(n) = 2*ceiling(3/1) + 2*ceiling(3/2) + 4*ceiling(3/3) = 14.
