An initial repeat of a string S is a number k>=1 such that S(i)=S(i+k) for i=0..k-1. In other words, the first k symbols are the same as the next k symbols, e.g., ABCDABCDZQQ has an initial repeat of size 4.

Equivalently, this is the number of binary sequences of length n with curling number 1. See A216955. - N. J. A. Sloane, Sep 26 2012
