Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

Locates correlations of the form 1xxxxxxx1 or 0xxxxxxx0 in the Thue-Morse sequence.
Or: union of numbers 8*A079523(n)+k, k=0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7.
Generalization: the numbers n such that A010060(n) = A010060(n+2^m) constitute the union of sequences {2^m*A079523(n)+k}, k=0,1,...,2^m-1.
