A319431 The first differences (A319430) of the tribonacci representation numbers (A003726 or A278038) consists of runs of 1's separated by the terms of the present sequence.

The runs of 1's in A319430 have lengths that apparently are given by A275925 (with a slight change at the start). The present sequence shows the terms greater than 1.
Let b = "2,3,2", c = "2,3,2,5,2,3", d = "2,3,2,5,2". The sequence appears to consist of a word over the alphabet {b,c,d} interspersed with the sequence 10, 19, 10, 37, 10, 19, 74, 10, 19, 10, 37, 10, 147, 10, 19, 10, 37, 10, ...:
c, 10, d, 19, c, 10, b, 37, c, 10, d, 19, c, 74, c, 10, d, 19, c, 10, b, 37, c, 10, d, 147, c, 10, d, 19, c, 10, b, 37, c, 10, d, 19, c, 74, ...
The interspersed sequence 10, 19, 10, 37, 10, 19, 74, ... appears to have the same kind of structure.
It would be nice to have a recurrence of some kind that produces this sequence.

The name "Fibbinary" is due to Marc LeBrun.
"... integers whose binary representation contains no consecutive ones and noticed that the number of such numbers with n bits was fibonacci(n)". [posting to sci.math by Bob Jenkins (bob_jenkins(AT)burtleburtle.net), Jul 17 2002]
From Benoit Cloitre, Mar 08 2003: (Start)
A number m is in the sequence if and only if C(3m, m) (or equally, C(3m, 2m)) is odd.
a(n) == A003849(n) (mod 2). (End)
Numbers m such that m XOR 2*m = 3*m. - Reinhard Zumkeller, May 03 2005. [This implies that A003188(2*a(n)) = 3*a(n) holds for all n.]
Numbers whose base-2 representation contains no two adjacent ones. For example, m = 17 = 10001_2 belongs to the sequence, but m = 19 = 10011_2 does not. - Ctibor O. Zizka, May 13 2008
m is in the sequence if and only if the central Stirling number of the second kind S(2*m, m) = A007820(m) is odd. - O-Yeat Chan (math(AT)oyeat.com), Sep 03 2009
A000120(3*a(n)) = 2*A000120(a(n)); A002450 is a subsequence.
Every nonnegative integer can be expressed as the sum of two terms of this sequence. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Jun 11 2011
Subsequence of A213526. - Arkadiusz Wesolowski, Jun 20 2012
This is also the union of A215024 and A215025 - see the Comment in A014417. - N. J. A. Sloane, Aug 10 2012
The binary representation of each term m contains no two adjacent 1's, so we have (m XOR 2m XOR 3m) = 0, and thus a two-player Nim game with three heaps of (m, 2m, 3m) stones is a losing configuration for the first player. - V. Raman, Sep 17 2012
Positions of zeros in A014081. - John Keith, Mar 07 2022
These numbers are similar to Fibternary numbers A003726, Tribbinary numbers A060140 and Tribternary numbers. This sequence is a subsequence of Fibternary numbers A003726. The number of Fibbinary numbers less than any power of two is a Fibonacci number. We can generate this sequence recursively: start with 0 and 1; then, if x is in the sequence add 2x and 4x+1 to the sequence. The Fibbinary numbers have the property that the n-th Fibbinary number is even if the n-th term of the Fibonacci word is a. Respectively, the n-th Fibbinary number is odd (of the form 4x+1) if the n-th term of the Fibonacci word is b. Every number has a Fibbinary multiple. - Tanya Khovanova and PRIMES STEP Senior, Aug 30 2022
This is the ordered set S of numbers defined recursively by: 0 is in S; if x is in S, then 2*x and 4*x + 1 are in S. See Kimberling (2006) Example 3, in references below. - Harry Richman, Jan 31 2024

The name "tribonacci number" is less well-defined than "Fibonacci number". The sequence A000073 (which begins 0, 0, 1) is probably the most important version, but the name has also been applied to A000213, A001590, and A081172. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jul 25 2024

The power Q^n, for n >= 0, of the tribonacci Q-matrix Q = matrix([1, 1, 1], [1, 0, 0], [0, 1, 0]) is, by the Cayley-Hamilton theorem, Q^n = matrix([a(n+2), a(n+1) + a(n), a(n+1)], [a(n+1), a(n) + a(n-1), a(n)], [a(n), a(n-1) + a(n-2), a(n-1)]), with a(-2) = -1 and a(-1) = 1. One can use a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + a(n-3) in order to obtain a(-1) and a(-2). - Wolfdieter Lang, Aug 13 2018
a(n+2) is the number of entries n, for n>=1, in the sequence {A278038(k)}A278038(0)%20=%201).%20-%20_Wolfdieter%20Lang">{k>=1} (without A278038(0) = 1). - _Wolfdieter Lang, Sep 11 2018
In terms of the tribonacci numbers T(n) = A000073(n) the nonnegative powers of the Q-matrix (from the Aug 13 2018 comment) are Q^n = T(n)*Q^2 + (T(n-1) + T(n-2))*Q + T(n-1)*1_3, for n >= 0, with T(-1) = 1, T(-2) = -1. This is equivalent to the powers t^n of the tribonacci constant t = A058255 (or also for powers of the complex solutions). - Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 24 2018

The substitution sequence 0 -> 0, 1; 1-> 0, 2; 2 -> 0  read as an irregular triangle with rows l >= 1 and length T(l+2), with the tribonacci numbers T = A000073, leads to the tribonacci tree TriT with level TriT(l) for l >= 1 given by a(0), a(1), ..., a(T(l+2)-1).
  E.g., l = 4:  0 1  0 2  0 1  0 with T(6) = 7 leaves (nodes). See the example below.
This tree can be used to find the tribonacci representation of nonnegative n given in A278038, call it ZTri(n) (Z for generalized Zeckendorf), by replacing every 2 by 1, and reading from bottom to top, omitting the final 0, except for n = 0 which is represented by 0. See the example below. (End)

From Philippe Deléham, Feb 27 2009: (Start)
A003144, A003145, A003146 may be defined as follows. Consider the morphism psi: a -> ab, b -> ac, c -> a. The image (or trajectory) of a under repeated application of this map is the infinite ternary tribonacci word a, b, a, c, a, b, a, a, b, a, c, a, b, a, b, a, c, ... (setting a = 1, b = 2, c = 3 gives A092782). The indices of a, b, c give respectively A003144, A003145, A003146. (End) [For the word with a -> 0, b -> 1, c -> 2 with offset 0 see A080843. - Wolfdieter Lang, Aug 10 2018]
The infinite word may also be defined as the limit S_oo where S_1 = a, S_n = psi(S_{n-1}). Or, by S_1 = a, S_2 = ab, S_3 = abac, and thereafter S_n = S_{n-1} S_{n-2} S_{n-3}. It is the unique word such that S_oo = psi(S_oo).
Also, indices of a in the sequence closed under a -> abac, b -> aba, c -> ab; starting with a(1) = a. - Philippe Deléham, Apr 16 2004
