%N A squarefree (or Thue-Morse) ternary sequence: closed under 1->123, 2->13, 3->2. Start with 1.
%C a(n)=2 if and only if n-1 is in A079523. - Benoit Cloitre, Mar 10 2003.
%C Partial sums modulo 4 of the sequence 1, a(1), a(1), a(2), a(2), a(3), a(3), a(4), a(4), a(5), a(5), a(6), a(6), ...- Philippe Deléham, Mar 04 2004
%C To construct the sequence : start with 1 and concatenate 4 -1 = 3 : 1, 3, then change the last term (2 -> 1, 3 ->2 ) gives : 1, 2. Concatenate 1, 2 with 4 -1 = 3, 4 - 2 = 2 : 1, 2, 3, 2 and change the last term : 1, 2, 3, 1. Concatenate 1, 2, 3, 1 with 4 - 1 = 3, 4 - 2 = 2, 4 - 3 = 1, 4 - 1 = 3 : 1, 2, 3, 1, 3, 2, 1, 3 and change the last term : 1, 2, 3, 1, 3, 2, 1, 2 etc.- Philippe Deléham, Mar 04 2004
%C To construct the sequence : start with the Thue-Morse sequence A010060 = 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, ... Then change 0 -> 1, 2, 3, _ and 1 -> 3, 2, 1, _ gives : 1, 2, 3, _, 3, 2, 1, _,3, 2, 1, _, 1, 2, 3, _, 3, 2, 1, _, ...and fill in the successive holes with the successive terms of the sequence itself.- Philippe Deléham, Mar 04 2004
%C To construct the sequence : to insert the number 2 between the A003156(k)-th term and the (1 + A003156(k))-th term of the sequence 1, 3, 1, 3, 1, 3, 1, 3, 1, 3, 1, 3, 1, 3, ...- Philippe Deléham, Mar 04 2004
%C Conjecture. The sequence is formed by the numbers of 1's between every pair of consecutive 2's in A076826. - Vladimir Shevelev, May 31 2009
