%N Deterministic completely defined initially connected acyclic automata with 3 inputs and n+1 transient unlabeled states including a unique state having all transitions to the absorbing state.

%C Coefficients T_2(n,k) form the array A082172. These automata have no nontrivial automorphisms (by states).
