%N Positions of 0 in A287263.

%C The sequence A287263 is the fixed point with prefix 0 of the morphism sigma := 0->0202, 1->110, 2->11, the square of the defining morphism 0->11, 1->02, 2->0. - _Michel Dekking_, Oct 09 2019

%C From _Michel Dekking_, Oct 09 2019: (Start)

%C The sequence of first differences of (a(n)) is a morphic sequence, i.e., the letter to letter image of a fixed point of a morphism tau.

%C The morphism tau is obtained as the derived morphism of the word 0 in A287263. The return words (i.e., the words in A287263 with prefix 0 and containing no 0's) are 0, 01, 011, 0211, 021111. We have

%C sigma(0) = 0202,

%C sigma(01) = 020211,

%C sigma(011) = 0202110110,

%C sigma(0211) = 020211110110,

%C sigma(021111) = 020211110110110110.

%C From this one can see, coding the return words by their lengths, that the morphism tau is given by

%C tau: 1 -> 22, 2 -> 24, 3 -> 2431, 4 -> 2631, 6 -> 263331.

%C Let x = 2426312426333... be the unique fixed point of tau. Then

%C a(n+1) - a(n) = x(n) for n = 1,2,...
