%N Number of distinct minimal unary DFA's with exactly n states.

%C Also, number of binary strings w of length 2n such that the longest suffix of w appearing at least twice in w is of length n. - _Jeffrey Shallit_, Mar 20 2017

%C Also, number of ultimately periodic binary sequences uvvvv... with |u|+|v| = n, formula uses psi(|v|) and 2^(|u|-1), plus psi(n) for u empty. - _Michael Vielhaber_, Mar 19 2022

%C Also, number of minimal length-n binary patterns, each corresponding to a minimal n-state deterministic Mealy automaton outputting some binary string. Used in the definition of the Deterministic Complexity (DC) of a string w, i.e., DC(w) = n. - _Lucas B. Vieira_, Mar 02 2024

%F a(n) = psi(n) + Sum_{j=1..n-1} psi(n-j)*2^(j-1), where psi(n) is the number of primitive words of length n over a 2-letter alphabet (expressible in terms of the Moebius function).

%F a(n) = A027375(n) + A059413(n-1). - _R. J. Mathar_, May 21 2018

%e a(1) = 2 because there are exactly two minimal unary automata with 1 state.

%p A059412 := proc(n)

%p A027375(n)+add(A027375(n-j)*2^(j-1),j=1..n-1) ;
