Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
Sequence can also be characterized by a special numeration system-see above reference.
(s,t)-sequences; the case s=2, t=2.
For n>=1, these are the positions of 1 in the fixed point of the morphism 0->11, 1->1110; see A285671. Conjecture: -1 < n*r - a(n) < 2 for n>=0, where r = (1 + sqrt(17))/4. - Clark Kimberling, May 02 2017

a(n) = (1+sqrt(17))/4*n+O(1). - Benoit Cloitre, Apr 23 2008
