A049538 Number of distinct binary sequences that can be generated by a general (non-linear) binary feedback shift register of length n, but not by a shorter one. 1
1, 2, 10, 105, 3823, 2218961 (list; graph; refs; listen; history; text; internal format)

0,2
COMMENTS
Complementary sequences (e.g.: 111010 and 000101) are taken to be equivalent. Related to maximum order complexity of sequences and also to number of incomplete paths in a De Bruijn graph.

EXAMPLE
For n <= 2, the following sequences can be generated. The periodic part is shown in square brackets. Only sequences starting with 0 are shown, since complementary sequences are equivalent.
