%N Positions of 0 in A285177; complement of A285402.

%C Conjecture: a(n)/n -> (61-sqrt(3))/26 = 2.279...

%C From _Michel Dekking_, Feb 10 2021: (Start)

%C This conjecture is false. In fact,

%C a(n)/n --> (5+sqrt(17))/4 = 2.28077...

%C Let mu be the defining morphism for A285177, i.e,

%C mu(0) = 11, mu(1) = 001.

%C The sequence A285177 is the fixed point x = 0010010010011111... starting with 0 of mu^2:

%C mu^2(0) = 001001, mu^2(1) = 1111001.

%C The 0's in x are at positions a(1)=1, a(2)=2, a(3)=4, etc.

%C Now suppose that N_0(K) = n is the number of 0's in a prefix x[1,K] of length K of x. Then obviously a(n) = K +/- 6.

%C Also N_0(K) + N_1(K) = K, where N_1(K) is the number of 1's in x[1,K].

%C So

%C K/N_0(K) = a(n)/n +/- 6/n.

%C Letting n tend to infinity, we find that

%C a(n)/n --> 1/f0,

%C where f0 is the frequency of 0's in x.

%C It is well known that these exist and are equal to the normalized eigenvector of the Perron-Frobenius eigenvalue of the incidence matrix of the morphism mu.

%C A simple computation yields that f0 = 4/(5+sqrt(17)).

%C It follows that a(n)/n --> (5+sqrt(17))/4.

%C (End)

%t s = Nest[Flatten[# /. {0 -> {1, 1}, 1 -> {0, 0, 1}}] &, {0}, 10] (* A285117 *)
