A286261 Numbers whose binary expansion is not a cubefree string. 2

%I #16 Nov 30 2020 15:27:41

%S 7,8,14,15,16,17,23,24,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,39,40,42,46,47,48,49,

%U 85,87,88,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,103,104,106,110,111,112,113,114,115,116,117,118,119,120,121,122,123,124,125,126,127,128,129,130

%N Numbers whose binary expansion is not a cubefree string.

%C Cubefree means that there is no substring which is the repetition of three identical nonempty strings, see examples.

%C If n is in the sequence, any number of the form n*2^k + m with 0 <= m < 2^k is in the sequence, and also any number of the form m*2^k + n with 2^k > n, m >= 0.

%H Chai Wah Wu, <a href="/A286261/b286261.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000</a>

%F a(n) ~ n: the sequence has asymptotic density one.

%e 7 is in the sequence, because 7 = 111[2] contains three consecutive "1"s.

%e 8 is in the sequence, because 8 = 1000[2] contains three consecutive "0"s.

%e 42 is in the sequence, because 42 = 101010[2] contains three consecutive "10"s.

%e From the comment follows that all numbers of the form 7*2^k, 8*2^k or 42*2^k are in the sequence, for any k >= 0.

%e All numbers congruent to 7 or congruent to 0 (mod 8) are in the sequence.

%e All numbers of the form m*2^(k+3) +- n with n < 2^k are in the sequence.
