Abstract

Morphic sequences form a natural class of infinite sequences, typically defined as the coding of a fixed point of a morphism. Different morphisms and codings may yield the same morphic sequence. This paper investigates how to prove that two such representations of a morphic sequence by morphisms represent the same sequence. In particular, we focus on the smallest representations of the subsequences of the binary Fibonacci sequence obtained by only taking the even or odd elements. The proofs we give are induction proofs of several properties simultaneously, and are typically found fully automatically by a tool that we developed.
