COMMENT

Indices at which blocks (1;0) occur in infinite Fibonacci word; i.e. n such that A005614(n-2) = 0 and A005614(n-1) = 1 - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Nov 15 2003

A000201 and this sequence may defined as follows . Consider the maps a -> ab, b -> a, starting from a(1) = a; then A000201 gives the indices of a, A001950 gives the indices of b . The sequence of letters in the infinite word begins a, b, a, a, b, a, b, a, a, b, a, ... Setting a = 0, b = 1 gives A003849 (offset 0); setting a = 1, b = 0 gives A005614 (offset 0) . - DELEHAM Philippe (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Feb 20 2004

a(n) = n-th integer which is not equal to the floor of any multiple of phi, where phi = (1+sqrt(5))/2 = golden number. - Philippe LALLOUET (philip.lallouet(AT)wanadoo.fr), May 09 2007

a(n) = Min(m: A134409(m) = A006336(n)). - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Oct 24 2007

Write A for A000201 and B for the present sequence (the upper Wythoff sequence, complement of A). Then the composite sequences AA, AB, BA, BB, AAA, AAB,...,BBB,... appear in many complementary equations having solution A000201 (or equivalently, the present sequence). Typical complementary equations: AB=A+B (=A003623), BB=A+2B (=A101864), BBB=3A+5B (=A134864). - Clark Kimberling (ck6(AT)evansville.edu), Nov 14 2007

Apart from the initial 0 in A090909, is this the same as that sequence? - Alec Mihailovs (alec(AT)mihailovs.com), Jul 23 2007
