A010060 Thue-Morse sequence: let A_k denote the first 2^k terms; then A_0 = 0 and for k >= 0, A_{k+1} = A_k B_k, where B_k is obtained from A_k by interchanging 0's and 1's.

Named after Axel Thue, whose name is pronounced as if it were spelled "Tü" where the ü sound is roughly as in the German word üben. (It is incorrect to say "Too-ee" or "Too-eh".) - N. J. A. Sloane, Jun 12 2018
Also called the Thue-Morse infinite word, or the Morse-Hedlund sequence, or the parity sequence.
Fixed point of the morphism 0 --> 01, 1 --> 10, see example. - Joerg Arndt, Mar 12 2013
The sequence is cubefree (does not contain three consecutive identical blocks) [see Offner for a direct proof] and is overlap-free (does not contain XYXYX where X is 0 or 1 and Y is any string of 0's and 1's).
a(n) = "parity sequence" = parity of number of 1's in binary representation of n.
To construct the sequence: alternate blocks of 0's and 1's of successive lengths A003159(k) - A003159(k-1), k = 1, 2, 3, ... (A003159(0) = 0). Example: since the first seven differences of A003159 are 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, the sequence starts with 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0. - Emeric Deutsch, Jan 10 2003
Characteristic function of A000069 (odious numbers). - Ralf Stephan, Jun 20 2003
a(n) = S2(n) mod 2, where S2(n) = sum of digits of n, n in base-2 notation. There is a class of generalized Thue-Morse sequences: Let Sk(n) = sum of digits of n; n in base-k notation. Let F(t) be some arithmetic function. Then a(n)= F(Sk(n)) mod m is a generalized Thue-Morse sequence. The classical Thue-Morse sequence is the case k=2, m=2, F(t)= 1*t. - Ctibor O. Zizka, Feb 12 2008 (with correction from Daniel Hug, May 19 2017)
More generally, the partial sums of the generalized Thue-Morse sequences a(n) = F(Sk(n)) mod m are fractal, where Sk(n) is sum of digits of n, n in base k; F(t) is an arithmetic function; m integer. - Ctibor O. Zizka, Feb 25 2008
Starting with offset 1, = running sums mod 2 of the kneading sequence (A035263, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, ...); also parity of A005187: (1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 15, 16, 18, 19, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Jun 15 2008
Generalized Thue-Morse sequences mod n (n>1) = the array shown in A141803. As n -> infinity the sequences -> (1, 2, 3, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 10 2008
The Thue-Morse sequence for N = 3 = A053838, (sum of digits of n in base 3, mod 3): (0, 1, 2, 1, 2, 0, 2, 0, 1, 1, 2, ...) = A004128 mod 3. - Gary W. Adamson, Aug 24 2008
For all positive integers k, the subsequence a(0) to a(2^k-1) is identical to the subsequence a(2^k+2^(k-1)) to a(2^(k+1)+2^(k-1)-1). That is to say, the first half of A_k is identical to the second half of B_k, and the second half of A_k is identical to the first quarter of B_{k+1}, which consists of the k/2 terms immediately following B_k.
Proof: The subsequence a(2^k+2^(k-1)) to a(2^(k+1)-1), the second half of B_k, is by definition formed from the subsequence a(2^(k-1)) to a(2^k-1), the second half of A_k, by interchanging its 0's and 1's. In turn, the subsequence a(2^(k-1)) to a(2^k-1), the second half of A_k, which is by definition also B_{k-1}, is by definition formed from the subsequence a(0) to a(2^(k-1)-1), the first half of A_k, which is by definition also A_{k-1}, by interchanging its 0's and 1's. Interchanging the 0's and 1's of a subsequence twice leaves it unchanged, so the subsequence a(2^k+2^(k-1)) to a(2^(k+1)-1), the second half of B_k, must be identical to the subsequence a(0) to a(2^(k-1)-1), the first half of A_k.
Also, the subsequence a(2^(k+1)) to a(2^(k+1)+2^(k-1)-1), the first quarter of B_{k+1}, is by definition formed from the subsequence a(0) to a(2^(k-1)-1), the first quarter of A_{k+1}, by interchanging its 0's and 1's. As noted above, the subsequence a(2^(k-1)) to a(2^k-1), the second half of A_k, which is by definition also B_{k-1}, is by definition formed from the subsequence a(0) to a(2^(k-1)-1), which is by definition A_{k-1}, by interchanging its 0's and 1's, as well. If two subsequences are formed from the same subsequence by interchanging its 0's and 1's then they must be identical, so the subsequence a(2^(k+1)) to a(2^(k+1)+2^(k-1)-1), the first quarter of B_{k+1}, must be identical to the subsequence a(2^(k-1)) to a(2^k-1), the second half of A_k.
Therefore the subsequence a(0), ..., a(2^(k-1)-1), a(2^(k-1)), ..., a(2^k-1) is identical to the subsequence a(2^k+2^(k-1)), ..., a(2^(k+1)-1), a(2^(k+1)), ..., a(2^(k+1)+2^(k-1)-1), QED.
According to the German chess rules of 1929 a game of chess was drawn if the same sequence of moves was repeated three times consecutively. Euwe, see the references, proved that this rule could lead to infinite games. For his proof he reinvented the Thue-Morse sequence. - Johannes W. Meijer, Feb 04 2010
"Thue-Morse 0->01 & 1->10, at each stage append the previous with its complement. Start with 0, 1, 2, 3 and write them in binary. Next calculate the sum of the digits (mod 2) - that is divide the sum by 2 and use the remainder." Pickover, The Math Book.
Let s_2(n) be the sum of the base-2 digits of n and epsilon(n) = (-1)^s_2(n), the Thue-Morse sequence, then prod(n >= 0, ((2*n+1)/(2*n+2))^epsilon(n) ) = 1/sqrt(2). - Jonathan Vos Post, Jun 06 2012
Dekking shows that the constant obtained by interpreting this sequence as a binary expansion is transcendental; see also "The Ubiquitous Prouhet-Thue-Morse Sequence". - Charles R Greathouse IV, Jul 23 2013
Drmota, Mauduit, and Rivat proved that the subsequence a(n^2) is normal--see A228039. - Jonathan Sondow, Sep 03 2013
Although the probability of a 0 or 1 is equal, guesses predicated on the latest bit seen produce a correct match 2 out of 3 times. - Bill McEachen, Mar 13 2015
From a(0) to a(2n+1), there are n+1 terms equal to 0 and n+1 terms equal to 1 (see Hassan Tarfaoui link, Concours Général 1990). - Bernard Schott, Jan 21 2022

From _Omar E. Pol_, Oct 28 2013: (Start)
Written as an irregular triangle in which row lengths is A011782, the sequence begins:
  0;
  1;
  1,0;
  1,0,0,1;
  1,0,0,1,0,1,1,0;
  1,0,0,1,0,1,1,0,0,1,1,0,1,0,0,1;
  1,0,0,1,0,1,1,0,0,1,1,0,1,0,0,1,0,1,1,0,1,0,0,1,1,0,0,1,0,1,1,0;
It appears that: row j lists the first A011782(j) terms of A010059, with j >= 0; row sums give A166444 which is also 0 together with A011782; right border gives A000035.

Formula

a(2n) = a(n), a(2n+1) = 1 - a(n), a(0) = 0. Also, a(k+2^m) = 1 - a(k) if 0 <= k < 2^m.
If n = Sum b_i*2^i is the binary expansion of n then a(n) = Sum b_i (mod 2).
Let S(0) = 0 and for k >= 1, construct S(k) from S(k-1) by mapping 0 -> 01 and 1 -> 10; sequence is S(infinity).
G.f.: (1/(1 - x) - Product_{k >= 0} (1 - x^(2^k)))/2. - Benoit Cloitre, Apr 23 2003
a(0) = 0, a(n) = (n + a(floor(n/2))) mod 2; also a(0) = 0, a(n) = (n - a(floor(n/2))) mod 2. - Benoit Cloitre, Dec 10 2003

This sequence and A001969 give the unique solution to the problem of splitting the nonnegative integers into two classes in such a way that sums of pairs of distinct elements from either class occur with the same multiplicities [Lambek and Moser]. Cf. A000028, A000379.

For any positive integer m, the partition of the set of the first 2^m positive integers into evil ones E and odious ones O is a fair division for any polynomial sequence p(k) of degree less than m, that is, Sum_{k in E} p(k) = Sum_{k in O} p(k) holds for any polynomial p with deg(p) < m. - Pietro Majer, Mar 15 2009
For n>1 let b(n) = a(n-1). Then b(b(n)) = 2b(n). - Benoit Cloitre, Oct 07 2010
Lexicographically earliest sequence of distinct nonnegative integers with no term being the binary exclusive OR of any terms. The equivalent sequence for addition or for subtraction is A005408 (the odd numbers) and for multiplication is A026424. - Peter Munn, Jan 14 2018

Sum of divisors of 4^n. - Paul Barry, Oct 13 2005
Subsequence of A000069; A132680(a(n)) = A005408(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Aug 26 2007
If x = a(n), y = A000079(n+1) and z = A087289(n), then x^2 + 2*y^2 = z^2. - Vincenzo Librandi, Jun 09 2014
It seems that a(n) divides A001676(3+4n). Several other entries apparently have this sequence embedded in them, e.g., A014551, A168604, A213243, A213246-8, and A279872. - Tom Copeland, Dec 27 2016
To elaborate on Librandi's comment from 2014: all these numbers, even if prime in Z, are sure not to be prime in Z[sqrt(2)], since a(n) can at least be factored as ((2^(2n + 1) - 1) - (2^(2n) - 1)*sqrt(2))((2^(2n + 1) - 1) + (2^(2n) - 1)*sqrt(2)). For example, 7 = (3 - sqrt(2))(3 + sqrt(2)), 31 = (7 - 3*sqrt(2))(7 + 3*sqrt(2)), 127 = (15 - 7*sqrt(2))(15 + 7*sqrt(2)). - Alonso del Arte, Oct 17 2017

A heuristic argument suggests that, as n tends to infinity, a(n)/n converges to 4. - Stefan Steinerberger, May 17 2007

If m is in the sequence, then so is 2m-1 because in binary, m is x1 and 2m-1 is x01. Presumably the numbers that generate the whole sequence by application of n -> 2n-1 are the evil numbers times 4 plus 3. - Ralf Stephan, May 25 2013
