cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

A ternary analog of A059448.
Offset is 1 to avoid the ambiguity at n=0.
Inspired by Chapter 1 of Allouche and Shallit.
From Michel Dekking, Sep 30 2020: (Start)
Let tau be the "twisted" 3-symbol length 2 Thue-Morse morphism given by
tau(0) = 10, tau(1) = 21, tau (2) = 02.
The name of tau is in analogy with the comments from A297531. The "ordinary" 3-symbol length 2 Thue-Morse morphism is the morphism mu given by
mu(0) = 01, mu(1) = 12, mu(2) = 20.
The unique fixed point of mu is the sequence A071858 = 01121220...
We have mu^3 = tau^3.
The sequence a = (a(n)) satisfies
a = 0 tau(a).
This follows directly from the recursion formulas
a(2n) = a(n) + 1 mod 3, a(2n+1) = a(n).
(End)
