The rule for extending the string is this: %C A093369 To get s(i+1), write the string s(1)s(2)...s(i) as xy^k for words x and y (where y has positive length) and k is maximized, i.e. k = the maximal number of repeating blocks at the end of the sequence so far. Then s(i+1) = k if k >=2, but if k=1 you must stop (without writing down the 1). %C A093369 a(n) = sum of final length of string, summed over all 2^(n-1) starting strings. %H A093369 F.
