cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

T(n,k) is the number of automata over an n-letter alphabet whose states are determined by the last k symbols read. These therefore correspond to a count of a special class of synchronized automata as in the Road Coloring Problem solved by Trahtman.
Also, T(n,k) counts equivalence relations on de Bruijn graphs compatible with edge labels.

Examples

			Below is the table T(n,k) for row n = alphabet size, and column k = synchronizing word length. Top left entry is T(1,1).
