COMMENTS
Coefficients T_2(n,k) form the array A082171. These automata have no nontrivial automorphisms (by states).
Also equals the leftmost column of triangular matrix M=A103236, which satisfies: M^2 + 2*M = SHIFTUP(M) (i.e. each column of M shifts up 1 row). - Paul D. Hanna, Jan 29 2005

FORMULA
a(1) = 1 and a(n) := d_2(n-1)/(n-2)! for n >= 2, where d_2(n) := T_2(n, 1) - Sum_{j=1..n-1} binomial(n-1, j-1) * T_2(n-j, j+1) * d_2(j); and T_2(0, k) := 1, T_2(n, k) := Sum_{i=0..n-1} binomial(n, i) * (-1)^(n-i-1) *((i+k+1)^2 - 1)^(n-i) * T_2(i, k) for n > 0. [Edited by Petros Hadjicostas, Mar 06 2021 to agree with Theorem 3.3 (p. 543) in Liskovets (2006). Here, n + 1 is "the number of transient states including the pre-dead state".]
G.f.: 1 = Sum_{n>=0} a(n+1) * (x^n/(1-2*x)^n) * Product_{k=0..n} (1 - (3 + k)*x). Thus: 1 = 1*(1-3x) + 3*(x/(1-2x))*(1-3x)*(1-4x) + 15*(x^2/(1-2x)^2)*(1-3x)*(1-4x)*(1-5x) + 114*(x^3/(1-2x)^3)*(1-3x)*(1-4x)*(1-5x)*(1-6x) + ... - Paul D. Hanna, Jan 29 2005
