%N a(0) = 1, a(1) = 2; for n>=2 a(n) is the number of degree-n reducible polynomials over GF(2).
%C Dimensions of homogeneous subspaces of shuffle algebra defined in the "Comments" line.
%C Let x and y be two letters, m and m' any two words, e is the empty word of the free monoid generated by (x,y). Let uu denote the shuffle or Hurwitz product: xm uu ym' =x.(m uu ym') + y.(xm uu m'); of course, e is neutral.
