[seqfan] Re: morphism in A284940 compared with A080580

[jean-paul allouche]

Dear J oe

I am n ot sure I understand y our reas oning: if A284939(n) = 0, 
A284939(n+1) = 1, s o this bl ock 01 (beginning at p ositi on n)
will be transf ormed int o 011101, but there can be (and there is) a 
bunch of intermediate 0's and 1's inbetween (e.g., if
yvu l o ok at the bl ock 01 beginning at index 5, its image under the m 
orphism d oes occur at p ositi on 15, s o that y ou missed
tw o intermediate 0's. May be I missed s omething?
best

> The correspondence between A080580 and the zeroes of A284939 is not merely coincidental. In effect, A080580 calculates the position of the nth zero in  A284939 based on whether A284939(n) is a zero.

For subsequent elements of A080580, the test "is n is already in the sequence A080580" is equivalent to "is A284939(n)=0", because by definition if n were in the sequence it would only be because the nth element of A284939 was a zero.
