%N Number of 0's (mod 3) in the binary expansion of n.

%C A ternary analog of A059448.

%C Offset is 1 to avoid the ambiguity at n=0.

%C Inspired by Chapter 1 of Allouche and Shallit.

%C From _Michel Dekking_, Sep 30 2020: (Start)

%C Let tau be the "twisted" 3-symbol length 2 Thue-Morse morphism given by

%C tau(0) = 10, tau(1) = 21, tau (2) = 02.

%C The name of tau is in analogy with the comments from A297531. The "ordinary" 3-symbol length 2 Thue-Morse morphism is the morphism mu given by

%C mu(0) = 01, mu(1) = 12, mu(2) = 20.

%C The unique fixed point of mu is the sequence A071858 = 01121220...

%C We have mu^3 = tau^3.

%C The sequence a = (a(n)) satisfies

%C a = 0 tau(a).

%C This follows directly from the recursion formulas

%C a(2n) = a(n) + 1 mod 3, a(2n+1) = a(n).

%C (End)

%F a(2n) = a(n) + 1 mod 3, a(2n+1) = a(n). - _Michel Dekking_, Sep 30 2020
