COMMENTS
The blet graph for n coins has one vertex for each binary heads/tails-sequence of length n. Two vertices are connected by an edge if there is a legal move between them in the game of blet, i.e., if one can be obtained from the other by replacing one occurrence of a triple THT with HTH. The binary sequences are circularly connected, so such a triple is allowed to start at one of the last two elements of the sequence and continue from the beginning.
The number of isolated vertices is A007039(n).
A075273(n) is the size of the component containing (HT)^n in the blet graph for 2*n coins.
EXAMPLE
For n = 4, the blet graph has A007039(4) = 6 isolated vertices TTTT, TTHH, THHT, HTTH, HHTT, HHHH, and a(4) = 2 components of size at least 2: {TTTH, THTT, THHH, HTHT, HHTH} and {TTHT, THTH, HTTT, HTHH, HHHT}.
