%C a(n) - a(n-1) is in {1,2,3} for n>=2, and a(n)/n -> 4 - sqrt(5).

%C From _Michel Dekking_, Aug 29 2020: (Start)

%C This sequence is a generalized Beatty sequence.

%C Recall from A286749 that A286749 is the letter-to-letter image of the fixed point x of the morphism mu given by

%C mu: 1->12341, 2->1, 3->2, 4->34.

%C where the letter-to-letter map lambda is defined by

%C lambda: 1->1, 2->1, 3->0, 4->0.

%C The return words of the word 1 in x are A:=1 and B:=1234.

%C We have mu(1)=12341, and mu(1234)=123411234. So the derived morphism is tau: A->BA, B->BAB.

%C This morphism happens to be the square of the Fibonacci morphism on the alphabet {B,A}.

%C The return word A = 1 has lambda-image 1, and the return word B = 1234 has lambda-image 1100. This means that they give distances 1, respectively 1 and 3 between (successive) occurrences of 1's in A286749. This leads to the decoration B->13, A->1, which amounts to replacing 0 by 01 and 1 by 0 in the Fibonacci word.

%C But the Fibonacci word is fixed by the {0,1} version of tau. It follows that the sequence (a(n+1)-a(n)) = 1,3,1,1,3,... is the Fibonacci word on the alphabet {1,3}. Finally, Lemma 8 in the paper "Generalized Beatty sequences..." then gives that a(n) = 5*n-2*floor(n*phi)-2, for n>0.

%C Clearly this implies a(n)/n -> 4 - sqrt(5).

%C (End)
