%N Numbers whose binary expansion is a cubefree string.
%C Cubefree means that there is no substring which is the repetition of three identical nonempty strings, see examples.
%C If n is not in the sequence, no number of the form n*2^k + m with 0 <= m < 2^k can be in the sequence, nor any number of the form m*2^k + n with 2^k > n, m >= 0.
%H Chai Wah Wu, <a href="/A286262/b286262.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000</a>
%F lim a(n)/n = infinity: sequence has asymptotic density 0.
%e 7 is not in the sequence, because 7 = 111[2] contains three consecutive "1"s.
%e 8 is not in the sequence, because 8 = 1000[2] contains three consecutive "0"s.
%e More generally, no number congruent to 7 or congruent to 0 (mod 8) may be in the sequence.
%e Even more generally, no number of the form m*2^(k+3) +- n, n < 2^k, can be in this sequence.
%e 42 is not in the sequence, because 42 = 101010[2] contains three consecutive "10"s.
%e From the comment follows that no number of the form 7*2^k, 8*2^k or 42*2^k may be in the sequence, for any k>=0. More generally, no number of the form 7*2^k + m, 8*2^k + m or 42*2^k + m may be in the sequence, for any 2^k > m >= 0.
