A000013 (1) Number of n-bead binary necklaces with beads of 2 colors where the colors may be swapped but turning over is not allowed. Equivalently, number of different output sequences from an n-stage pure cycling shift register when 2 sequences are considered the same if one is the complement of the other.

COMMENT

(2) Also number of different output sequences from an n-stage pure cycling shift register constrained so contents have even weight.

(3) Also number of output sequences from (n-1)-stage shift register which feeds back the mod 2 sum of the contents of the register.

If u is an output sequence of type (1) then its derivative is of type (2) - so (1) and (2) count the same things.

If we have a shift register of type (3), append a new cell which contains the mod sum of the contents to get a shift register of type (2) - (2) and (3) count the same things.

If n is even, a(n) = A000116(n/2). If 2^(n+1)-1 is prime, then a(n) = A128976(n+1), the number of cycles in the digraph of the Lucas-Lehmer operator LL(x)=x^2-2 acting on Z/(2^(n+1)-1) - M. F. Hasler (Maximilian.Hasler(AT)gmail.com), May 19 2007
