A331393 Sum, over all binary strings w of length n, of the length of the longest border of w. 2

%N Sum, over all binary strings w of length n, of the length of the longest border of w.

%C A nonempty word w is a border of a string x if w is both a prefix and suffix of x, and w does not equal x.

%H Shiyao Guo, <a href="/A331393/b331393.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..120</a>

%e For n = 4 the 16 words are 0000,0001,0010,0011,0100,0101,0110,0111, and their binary complements.

%e 0000 has longest border 3; 0010, 0100, 0110 have longest border 1; and 0101 has longest border 2. So a(4) = 2*(3+3+2) = 16.

%Y Cf. A094536, A331392.

%K nonn

%O 1,2
