%N The Dakota sequence: a sequence with zero-free number-wall over ternary extension fields.

%C c(0), c(1), ... is the fixed point of inflation morphism 1 -> 1 3, 2 -> 2 3, 3 -> 1 4, 4 -> 2 4, starting from state 1;

%C a(-1), a(0), ... is the image of c(n) under encoding morphism 1 -> 0,+1; 2 -> +1,-1; 3 -> 0,-1; 4 -> +1,0; where c(n) denotes A301848(n).

%C The number-walls (signed Hankel determinants) over finite fields with characteristic 3 of sequence x + a(n) with x not in F_3 have been proved free of zeros.
