Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N a(n) = A003145(A003146(n)).
%C By analogy with the Wythoff compound sequences A003622 etc., the nine compounds of A003144, A003145, A003146 might be called the tribonacci compound sequences. They are A278040, A278041, and A319966-A319972.
%C This sequence gives the positions of the word bab in the tribonacci word t = abacabaa..., fixed point of the morphism a->ab, b->ac, c->a. This follows from the fact that the positional sequences of baa, bab and bac give a splitting of the positional sequence of the word ba, and the three sets BA(N), BB(N) and BC(N), give a splitting of the set B(N), where A := A003144, B := A003145, C := A003146. Here N denotes the set of positive integers. - _Michel Dekking_, Apr 09 2019
