Summary: A set of binary sequences related to the iteration of unimodal continuous functions of the interval \([0,1]\) appears in a 1982–1983 work of Cosnard and the first author. An almost identical set of binary sequences occurs in a 1990 paper by Erdős, Joó, and Komornik; it consists of expansions of 1 in univoque bases \(\beta\) in \((1,2)\) (the base \(\beta\) is univoque if 1 admits a unique \(\beta\)-expansion). We generalize a result of the second author and Niu by proving, using the 1982–1983 results, that a large class of Thue-Morse-like sequences belong to these sets of binary sequences. The case of alphabets of size larger than 2 yields similar results.
For the entire collection see [Zbl 1195.28001].
