Fixed point of the morphism 0->1, 1->110. - Benoit Cloitre, May 31 2004

As binary constant 0.1101101110110... = 0.85826765646... (A119812), see Fxtbook link. - Joerg Arndt, May 15 2011

Characteristic word with slope 1/sqrt(2) [see J. L. Ramirez et al.]. - R. J. Mathar, Jul 09 2013

From Peter Bala, Nov 22 2013: (Start)

Sturmian word: equals the limit word S(infinity) where S(0) = 0, S(1) = 1 and for n >= 1, S(n+1) = S(n)S(n)S(n-1).

More generally, for k = 0,1,2,..., we can define a sequence of words S_k(n) by S_k(0) = 0, S_k(1) = 0...01 (k 0's) and for n >= 1, S_k(n+1) = S_k(n)S_k(n)S_k(n-1). Then the limit word S_k(infinity) is a Sturmian word whose terms are given by a(n) = floor((n + 2)/(k + sqrt(2))) - floor((n + 1)/(k + sqrt(2))).

This sequence corresponds to the case k = 0. See A159684 (case k = 1) and A171588 (case k = 2). Compare with the Fibonacci words A005614, A221150, A221151 and A221152. See also A230901. (End)

For n > 0: a(A001951(n)) = 1, a(A001952(n)) = 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 03 2015

Formula

a(n) = floor((n+2)*sqrt(2)/2) - floor((n+1)*sqrt(2)/2).

a(n) = A188295(n+2) for all n in Z. - Michael Somos, Aug 19 2018

Example

From Peter Bala, Nov 22 2013: (Start)
The first few Sturmian words S(n) are
S(0) = 0
S(1) = 1
S(2) = 110
S(3) = 110 110 1
S(4) = 1101101 1101101 110
S(5) = 11011011101101110 11011011101101110 1101101
The lengths of the words are [1, 1, 3, 7, 17, 41, ...] = A001333.  (End)
