Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A334500
For 0 <= R <= 255, let s(R,n) = eventual period of a single cell in a Rule R cellular automaton operating in a cyclic universe of width n; a(n) is the nearest integer to max_R s(R,n)/n (rounded down in case of ties).

EXAMPLE
For R = 45, the sequence {s(R,1)..s(R,10)} is 2,2,1,2,30,18,126,2,504,430 (see A334508), and s(45,10) = 430 is the greatest value of any s(R,10), so a(10) = 430/10 = 430.
