COMMENTS

The sequence of words is bb, bbbb, bbbaabbb, bbbaabbbbaabbb, bbbaabbbbaabbaabbbbaabbb, ... given by the rule that the n-th word consists of the (n-1)st word, followed by the inverse of the (n-3)rd word, followed by the (n-1)st word.

Here a (or 1) and 2 (or b) represent the respective matrices

[1 1] [2 1]

[1 0] [1 0]

arising in the study of Markov numbers (A002559) - see link.

Question: Can this substitution-deletion system be described by a simple morphism of the type shown in A008352?

EXAMPLE

a(4) = bbbaabbbbaabbaabbbbaabbb, a(2) = bbbaabbb, so a(5) = bbbaabbbbaabbaabbbbaabbb (bbbaabbb)^(-1) bbbaabbbbaabbaabbbbaabbb = bbbaabbbbaabbaabbbbaabbbbaabbaabbbbaabbb
