A001387 Decimal encoding of a binary "look and say" sequence (A005150). To get the 5th term, for example, note that 4th term has three (11 in binary!) 1's, one (1) 0 and two (10) 1's, giving 11 1 1 0 10 1. 2
1, 11, 101, 111011, 11110101, 100110111011, 111001011011110101, 111100111010110100110111011, 100110011110111010110111001011011110101, 1110010110010011011110111010110111100111010110100110111011 (list; graph; refs; listen; history; internal format)

COMMENTS

I conjecture that the ratio r(n) of the number of "1"s to the number of "0"s in a(n) converges to 5/3 (or some nearby limit). - Joseph L. Pe (joseph_l_pe(AT)hotmail.com), Jan 31 2003

The ratio r(n) of the number of "1"s to the number of "0"s in a(n) actually converges to [(101 - 5\sqrt{93})a^2 + (139 - 13\sqrt{93})a - 76]/108, where a = (116 + 12\sqrt{93})^{1/3}. This ratio has decimal expansion 1.6657272222676... [From Nathaniel Johnston (nathaniel(AT)nathanieljohnston.com), Nov 07 2010]
