Comments

This is the first of four sequences that partition the positive integers. Starting with a general overview, suppose that u = (u(n)) and v = (v(n)) are increasing sequences of positive integers. Let u' and v' be their complements, and assume that the following four sequences are infinite:

(1) u ^ v = intersection of u and v (in increasing order);

(2) u ^ v';

(3) u' ^ v;

(4) u' ^ v'.

Every positive integer is in exactly one of the four sequences. The limiting densities of these four sequences are 4/9, 2/9, 2/9, and 1/9, respectively (and likewise for A360402-A360405).

For A360394, u, v, u', v', are sequences obtained from the Thue-Morse sequence, A026430, as follows:

u = A026530 = (1,3,5,6,8,9,10, 12, ... ) = partial sums of A026430

u' = A356133 = (2,4,7,11,13,17, 20, ... ) = complement of u

v = u + 1 = A285954, except its initial 1

v' = complement of v.

Examples

			(1)  u ^ v = (3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 21, 23, 26, 28, 30, 33, ...) =  A360394
(2)  u ^ v' = (1, 6, 9, 15, 19, 24, 27, 31, 36, 42, 45, 51, 55, 60, ...) =  A360395
(3)  u' ^ v = (7, 11, 17, 20, 25, 29, 32, 38, 43, 47, 53, 56, 62, ...) = A360396
(4)  u' ^ v' = (2, 4, 13, 22, 34, 40, 49, 58, 64, 76, 85, 94, 106, ...) = A360397
