      Summary: Let \(g(n)\) be the length of a longest binary string containing at most \(n\) distinct squares (two identical adjacent substrings). Then \(g(0)=3\) (010 is such a string), \(g(1)= 7\) (0001000) and \(g(2)= 18\) (010011000111001101). How does the sequence \(\{g(n)\}\) behave? We give a complete answer.
