A001285 Thue-Morse sequence: let A_k denote the first 2^k terms; then A_0 = 1 and for k >= 0, A_{k+1} = A_k B_k, where B_k is obtained from A_k by interchanging 1's and 2's.

COMMENT

Or, follow a(0), .., a(2^k-1) by its complement.

Equals convergent as an infinite string of A161175 row terms. [From Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Jun 05 2009]

FORMULA

a(2n)=a(n), a(2n+1)=3-a(n), a(0)=1. Also, a(k+2^m)=3-a(k) if 0<=k<2^m.

a(n) = 2-A010059(n) = 1/2*(3-(-1)^A000120(n)). - Ralf Stephan (ralf(AT)ark.in-berlin.de), Jun 20 2003

a(n)=sum(k=0, n, binomial(n, k){mod 2}) {mod 3}=A001316(n) {mod 3} - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), May 09 2004

MAPLE

A001285 := proc(n) option remember; if n=0 then 1 elif n mod 2 = 0 then A001285(n/2) else 3-A001285((n-1)/2); fi; end;

s := proc(k) local i, ans; ans := [ 1, 2 ]; for i from 0 to k do ans := [ op(ans), op(map(n->if n=1 then 2 else 1 fi, ans)) ] od; RETURN(ans); end; t1 := s(6); A001285 := n->t1[n]; # s(k) gives first 2^(k+2) terms
