Local symmetries in the period-doubling sequence

Abstract We consider the infinite one-sided sequence generated by the period-doubling substitution. The number p ( n ) of palindromes of length n and the number b k ( n ) of k th powers of words of length n occurring in this sequence are computed explicitly.
