COMMENTS

Characteristic function of A022342 . - DELEHAM Philippe (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), May 03 2004

a(n)=number of 0's between successive 1's (see also A003589 and A007538) - Eric Angelini (eric.angelini(AT)kntv.be), Jul 06 2005

With offset 1 this is the characteristic sequence for Wythoff A-numbers A000201=[1,3,4,6,...].

Eric Angelini's comment made me think that if 1 is defined as the number of 0's between successive 1's in a string of 0's and 1's, then this string is 101. Applying the same operation to the digits of 101 leads to 101101, the iteration leads to successive palindromes of lengths given by A001911, up to a(n).

Index entries for characteristic functions

FORMULA

Define strings S(0)=1, S(1)=10, S(n)=S(n-1)S(n-2); iterate.

a(n) = floor((n+1)*u)-floor(n*u), where u = (1-sqrt(5))/2.

EXAMPLE

The infinite word is 101101011011010110101101101011...

MAPLE

Digits := 50; u := evalf((1-sqrt(5))/2); A005614 := n->floor((n+1)*u)-floor(n*u);

MATHEMATICA

(PARI) for(n=2, 10, print(n" "a(n, [ 0 ], [ 1 ], [ 1, 0 ]))) \\ Gives successive convergents to sequence
