On a class of Thue-Morse type sequences
Journal of integer sequences, Tome 6 (2003) no. 4
We consider a class of binary sequences that generalize the Thue-Morse sequence. In particular, we investigate the occurrences of palindromes in such sequences. We also introduce the notion of the first difference of a binary sequence and characterize first differences of our class of Thue-Morse type sequences. Finally, we define the concept of a "change sequence" of a given binary sequence, a sequence which encodes the positions at which a binary sequence changes values. We characterize the change sequences corresponding to our class of Thue-Morse type sequences.
