[seqfan] Re: Claude Lenormand and raboter(n)

[Neil Sloane]

Dear Seq Fans,
Concerning the paper by Claude Lenormand which I mentioned earlier:
I scanned it and added it to several sequences that it mentions.

In my earlier message I mentioned his SECOND procedure, that he calls
the "raboter" transform,
and for which I created A318921. (You can see his paper there)

His FIRST procedure simply looks at the lengths of the successive runs
in a word,
what I call the RUNS transform.

I started to go though his paper in detail, adding several new
sequences to the OEIS, and adding references from sequences that were
already in the OEIS.
A318928, A318929 and A318930 are new.

I ran out of time on page 2: I stopped at the line "Pour la suite s
engendre'e par la programme "

If anyone would like to help by continuing from this point (adding
references if a sequence is in the OEIS, or adding
sequences to the OEIS if they are new), please do so.  I just don't
have time to work any more on this paper.
It is a very interesting paper, so I hope someone will take over the job.

Best regards
Neil
