A036581 Ternary Thue-Morse sequence: closed under a->abc, b->ac, c->b. 5

%I #46 Apr 15 2024 11:24:15

%S 0,2,1,0,1,2,0,2,1,2,0,1,0,2,1,0,1,2,0,1,0,2,1,2,0,2,1,0,1,2,0,2,1,2,

%N Ternary Thue-Morse sequence: closed under a->abc, b->ac, c->b.

%C This sequence and A108694 are squarefree (they do not contain any substring XX). - _Bill Gosper_, Jul 22 2005

%C Trajectory of 1 under the morphism 0 -> 021, 1 -> 2 & 2 -> 01. - _Robert G. Wilson v_, Apr 06 2008

%C I believe that this is the sequence Cummings refers to as the Morse-Hedlund sequence. It can be constructed by starting with the Thue-Morse binary sequence A010060, 0,1,1,0,1,0,0,1,1,0,0,1,0,1,1,0,1,0,0,1,0,1,1,0,..., reading successive pairs of digits: 01, 11, 10, 01, 10, 00, 01, 11, 10, 00, 01, ..., and mapping 01 to 0, 10 to 1, and both 00 and 11 to 2, getting 0,2,1,0,1,2,0,2,1,... - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Oct 17 2012
