%N The Pell word: Fixed point of the morphism 0->001, 1->0.

%C From _Peter Bala_, Nov 22 2013: (Start)

%C This is a Sturmian word: equals the limit word S(infinity) where S(0) = 0, S(1) = 001 and for n >= 1, S(n+1) = S(n)S(n)S(n-1). See the examples below.

%C This sequence corresponds to the case k = 2 of the Sturmian word S_k(infinity) as defined in A080764. See A159684 for the case k = 1. (End)

%C Characteristic word with slope 1 - 1/sqrt(2). Since the characteristic word with slope 1-theta is the mirror image of the characteristic word with slope theta, a(n)= 1 - A080764(n) for all n. - _Michel Dekking_, Jan 31 2017

%C The positions of 0 comprise A001951 (Beatty sequence for sqrt(2)); the positions of 1 comprise A001952 (Beatty sequence for 2+sqrt(2)). - _Clark Kimberling_, May 11 2017

%C This is also the fixed point of the mapping 00->0010, 01->001, 10->010, starting with 00 [Dekking and Keane, 2022]. See A289001. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Mar 09 2022

%e The lengths of the words are [1, 3, 7, 17, 41, ...] = A001333 (apart from the initial term). (End)
