%N Fixed point of the square of the morphism: 1->3, 2->1, 3->121, starting with 1.

%C Old name was: A Fibonacci like substitution for three-symbol substitution with characteristic polynomial: x^3-2*x-1.

%C This sequence gives a three-symbol substitution for A095345.

%C From _Michel Dekking_, Jan 06 2018: (Start) What is probably meant by this statement is that A095345 is a morphic sequence, i.e., a letter-to-letter projection of a fixed point of the morphism tau given by tau(1)=121, tau(2)=3, tau(3)=313, followed by the morphism pi given by pi(1)=1, pi(2)=1, pi(3)=3.

%C This deserves a proof. In fact a proof can only be given if one formulates a joint statement about the sequences v:=A095345=1113111313... and w:=A095346=3131113...., because these two sequences are defined in a loop. Let D be the so-called differentiation operator which maps a word to the lengths of its runs, as studied in [Dekking, 1981]. For example D(1113111) = 313.

%C The words v and w by definition satisfy D(v)=w, D(w)=v. They are in fact points of period 2 for D (cf. [Dekking,1995]).

%C Claim: v=A095345 equals pi(x), where x is the fixed point of tau with x(1)=1, and w=A095346 equals pi(y), where y is the fixed point of tau with y(1)=3.

%C Proof: This is easily shown by induction on n=2,3,..., proving that tau^(n+1)(1) and tau^(n)(3) satisfy D(pi(tau^(n+1)(1)) = pi(tau^n(3)) & D(pi(tau^n(3)) = pi(tau^n(1)).

%C (End)

%C Real Salem Roots: {{x -> -1.}, {x -> -0.618034}, {x -> 1.61803}}.

%C From _Michel Dekking_, Dec 27 2017: (Start)

%C Let tau be the morphism squared: tau(1)=121, tau(2)=3, tau(3)=313.

%C Then tau(a)=a.

%C Claims:

%C (A) a(2n-1) = 1 for n = 1,2,....

%C (B) a(2n) = A282162(n-1) for n = 1,2,....

%C Proof of (A): Obviously 2 only occurs in 121, but this implies that also 3 only occurs in 131.

%C Proof of (B): Let R be the 'remove 1' operator, e.g., R(12131) = 23.

%C Let psi be the square of the Fibonacci morphism on the alphabet {3,2}: psi(3)=323, psi(2)=32. One proves by induction that R(tau^k(1))3 = 2psi^(k-1)(3) and R(tau^k(2))2 = 3psi^(k-1)(2) for k=1,2,.... This implies (B): see CROSSREFS in A282162.

%C We give the more complicated induction step of the two:

%C R(tau^(k+1)(2))2 = R(tau^k(3))2 =

%C R(tau^(k-1)(3))R(tau^(k-1)(1))R(tau^(k-1)(3))2 =

%C R(tau^k(2))2psi^(k-2)(3)3^(-1)R(tau^k(2))2 =

%C 3psi^(k-2)(2)psi^(k-2)(3)psi^(k-1)(2) = 3psi^(k-2)(32332)=

%C 3psi^k(2).
