COMMENTS
a(n) seems to take only the values 1 or 2, where {a(n), a(n+1)} may be {2, 1} or {1, 2} or {2, 2}, but not {1, 1}, and where {a(n), a(n+1), a(n+2), a(n+3)} may be {2, 1, 2, 1} or {1, 2, 1, 2} or {1, 2, 2, 1}, but not {2, 1, 1, 2}. The second differences of A140100 (first differences of this sequence) thus seem to take only the values -1 or 0 or 1. - Daniel Forgues, Aug 17 2018
From Michel Dekking, Mar 16 2019: (Start)
Let x be the tribonacci word x = A092782 = 1,2,1,3,1,2,1,1,...
Consider the morphism delta:
1 -> 2212121212121,
2 -> 22121212121,
3 -> 2212121.
Conjecture: (a(n)) = 212121 delta(x).
(End)
Conjecture: This sequence (prefixed by 1 since A140100 should really begin with 0) is 1.TTW(2,1,1) where TTW is the ternary tribonacci word defined in A080843, or equally it is THETA(2,1,1), where THETA is defined in A275925. - N. J. A. Sloane, Mar 19 2019
All these conjectures are now theorems - see the Dekking et al. paper. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jul 22 2019
