COMMENTS

Strings are obtained using the Kolakoski substitution and the additional rule : start with 1 if previous string ends with 2, start with 2 if previous string ends with 1. The concatenation of those strings gives 1211212212211211221211...which is A006928 word. If you replace the initial 1 with 12 you get 122112122122112112212...the infinite Kolakoski word A000002.

FORMULA

Conjecture : length of n-th string is asymptotic to c*(3/2)^n for some c.

EXAMPLE

1-->2-->11-->21-->221-->22112-->11221211
