%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.
