The Baum-Sweet sequence is the sequence of numbers for nonnegative
integer
such that
if the binary expansion of contains no block of consecutive 0s of odd
length, and
otherwise. Taking the binary expansion of 0 to
be the single digit 0 gives , as in the cited OEIS sequence. A common alternative
convention sets , as in the original power
series of Baum and Sweet (1976). For , 2, ... the first few terms
are 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, ... (OEIS A086747).
A recurrence plot of the first 128 positive-index
terms is illustrated above.
