COMMENTS

Comment from Philippe DELEHAM: A003144, A003145, A003146 may be defined as follows. Consider the maps a -> ab, b ->ac, c ->a, starting from a(1) = a; then A003144 gives the indices of a, A003145 gives the indices of b and A003146 gives the indices of c. The sequence of letters in the infinite word begins a, b, a, c, a, b, a, a, b, a, c, a, b, a, b, a, c, ... Setting a = 1, b = 2, c = 3 gives A092782. Setting a = 0, b = 1, c = 2 gives A080843.

Also, indices of a in the sequence closed under a -> abac, b -> aba, c -> ab; starting with a(1) = a. - DELEHAM Philippe (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Apr 16 2004
