COMMENTS

We start with the string 01, at each step we replace the string by two concatenated copies and remove the last symbol.

01 -> 010 -> 01001 -> 010010100 etc.

Each string consists of 2**n + 1 symbols and clearly after this step the first 2**n + 1 symbols do not change.

Equivalently this sequence is given as follows: a(0) = 0, a(1) = 1, and for n>1, a(n) = first one of g(n), g(g(n)), g(g(g(n))).. etc. to be either 0 or 1, where g(n) = A053645(n-1).

The proportion of 0's in this sequence converges to a number close to 0.645059. The exact nature of this constant is not known. It easy to show there are no 2 consecutive 1's.

Start of the first occurrence of k consecutive zeros: 0, 3, 7, 2046, > 8388600, ..., . [From Robert G. Wilson v (rgwv(AT)rgwv.com), Aug 17 2009]
