ThueMorse

ThueMorse[n]

gives the n^(th) term in the ThueMorse sequence.

Details

  • ThueMorse[n] is 1 exactly when n has an odd number of 1s in its binary expansion.
  • ThueMorse gives the sequence generated by the substitution starting from .
  • ThueMorse[0] is the beginning of the ThueMorse sequence.
  • ThueMorse automatically threads over lists.
