COMMENTS
(s,t)-sequences; the case s=2, t=2.
The sequence can also be characterized by a special numeration system-see above reference.
For n>=1, these are the positions of 0 in the fixed point of the morphism 0->11, 1->1110; see A285671 and Mathematica program. Conjecture: -1 < n*r - a(n) < 3 for n>=0, where r = (5 + sqrt(17))/2. - Clark Kimberling, May 02 2017
