A Sturmian word.
Define strings S(0)=0, S(1)=01, S(n)=S(n-1)S(n-2); iterate; sequence is S(infinity). If the initial 0 is omitted from S(n) for n>0, we obtain A288582(n+1).
The 0's occur at positions in A022342 (i.e., A000201 - 1), the 1's at positions in A003622.
Replace each run (1;1) with (1;0) in the infinite Fibonacci word A005614 (and add 0 as prefix) A005614 begins: 1,0,1,1,0,1,0,1,1,0,1,1,... changing runs (1,1) with (1,0) produces 1,0,0,1,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,1,... - Benoit Cloitre, Nov 10 2003
Characteristic function of A003622. - Philippe Deléham, May 03 2004
The fraction of 0's in the first n terms approaches 1/phi (see for example Allouche and Shallit). - N. J. A. Sloane, Sep 24 2007
The limiting mean and variance of the first n terms are 2-phi and 2*phi-3, respectively. - Clark Kimberling, Mar 12 2014, Aug 16 2018
Let S(n) be defined as above. Then this sequence is S(1) + Sum_{n=0..} S(n), where the addition of strings represents concatenation. - Isaac Saffold, May 03 2019
The word is a concatenation of three runs: 0, 1, and 00. The limiting proportions of these are respectively 1 - phi/2, 1/2, and (phi - 1)/2. The mean runlength is (phi + 1)/2. - Clark Kimberling, Dec 26 2010
From Amiram Eldar, Mar 10 2021: (Start)
a(n) is the number of the trailing 0's in the dual Zeckendorf representation of (n+1) (A104326).
The asymptotic density of the occurrences of k (0 or 1) is 1/phi^(k+1), where phi is the golden ratio (A001622).
The asymptotic mean of this sequence is 1/phi^2 (A132338). (End)

Formula

a(n) = floor((n+2)*r) - floor((n+1)*r) where r=phi/(1+2*phi) and phi is the Golden Ratio. - Benoit Cloitre, Nov 10 2003
a(n) = A003714(n) mod 2 = A014417(n) mod 2. - Philippe Deléham, Jan 04 2004
The first formula by Cloitre is just one of an infinite family of formulas. Using phi^2=1+phi, it follows that r=phi/(1+2*phi)=2-phi. Then from floor(-x)=-floor(x)-1 for non-integer x, it follows that a(n)=2-A014675(n)=2-(floor((n+2)* phi)-floor((n+1)*phi)). - Michel Dekking, Aug 27 2016
a(n) = 1 - A096270(n+1), i.e., A096270 is the complement of this sequence. - A.H.M. Smeets, Mar 31 2024
