Binary Sequences

Question

Given a binary number A as input with d > 1 digits, output a binary number B with d digits according to the following rules for finding the nth digit of B:

• The first digit of B is zero if the first and second digits of A are equal; otherwise, it is one.

• If 1 < n < d, then if the (n-1)th, nth and (n+1)th digits of A are equal, then the nth digit of B is zero; otherwise, it is one.

• The dth digit of B is zero if the (d-1)th and dth digits of A are equal; otherwise, it is one.

Rules

String/list input/output format is fine. Another allowed way of input/output is an integer followed by the number of preceding zeros (or following the number of preceding zeros).

Make your code as short as possible.

¥0.ø¥Ā

I/O is in form of bit arrays.

Try it online!

How it works

¥       Compute the forward differences of the input, yielding -1, 0, or 1 for each
        pair. Note that there cannot be two consecutive 1's or -1's.
 0.ø    Surround the resulting array with 0‘s.
    ¥   Take the forward differences again. [0, 0] (three consecutive equal 
        elements in the input) gets mapped to 0, all other pairs get mapped to a 
        non-zero value.
     Ā  Map non-zero values to 1.

I0;;0In0

I/O is in form of bit arrays.

How it works

I0;;0In0  Main link. Argument: A (bit array of length d)

I         Increments; compute the forward differences of all consecutive elements
          of A, yielding -1, 0, or 1 for each pair. Note that there cannot be
          two consecutive 1's or -1's.
 0;       Prepend a 0 to the differences.
   ;0     Append a 0 to the differences.
     I    Take the increments again. [0, 0] (three consecutive equal elements in A)
          gets mapped to 0, all other pairs get mapped to a non-zero value.
      n0  Perform not-equal comparison with 0, mapping non-zero values to 1.

JavaScript (ES6), 45 bytes

Takes input as an array of characters. Returns an array of integers.

a=>a.map((v,i)=>(i&&v^p)|((p=v)^(a[i+1]||v)))

Test cases

let f =

a=>a.map((v,i)=>(i&&v^p)|((p=v)^(a[i+1]||v)))

console.log(JSON.stringify(f([..."00"])))           // -> 00
console.log(JSON.stringify(f([..."01"])))           // -> 11
console.log(JSON.stringify(f([..."11"])))           // -> 00
console.log(JSON.stringify(f([..."010111100111"]))) // -> 111100111100
console.log(JSON.stringify(f([..."1000"])))         // -> 1100
console.log(JSON.stringify(f([..."11111111"])))     // -> 00000000
console.log(JSON.stringify(f([..."01010101"])))     // -> 11111111
console.log(JSON.stringify(f([..."1100"])))         // -> 0110

Commented

a =>                  // given the input array a
  a.map((v, i) =>     // for each digit v at position i in a:
    (                 //   1st expression:
      i &&            //     if this is not the 1st digit:

    ) | (             //   end of 1st expression; bitwise OR with the 2nd expression:

ä- pT äaT mg

Explanation

Implicit input of array U. ä- gets the deltas of the array. pT pushes 0 to the end of the array. äaT first adds another 0 to the start of the array before getting the absolute deltas. mg maps over the elements of the array returning the sign of each element as -1 for negative numbers, 0 for 0 or 1 for positive numbers.

B=:2&(+./\)@({.,],{:)@(2&(~:/\))

How it works:

B=:                              | Define the verb B
                       2&(~:/\)  | Put not-equals (~:) between adjacent elements of the array, making a new one
            ({.,],{:)            | Duplicate the first and last elements
   2&(+./\)                      | Put or (+.) between adjacent elements of the array

I left out some @s and parenthesis, which just make sure it goes together nicely.

A step by step example:

    2&(~:/\) 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1
1 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0

    ({.,],{:) 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0
1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0

    2&(+./\) 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0
1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0

Alternatively:

• mtl{d.:s+hQeBQ3.
• .aM._M.+++Z.+QZ.

This prepends the first element and appends the last element, then gets all overlapping substrings of length 3, and finally takes the number of distinct elements in each sublist and decrements it. This mess has been done on mobile at midnight so I wouldn’t be surprised if there are some easy golfs.

$#2

Try it online! Link includes test cases. Explanation: The regex starts by matching each input digit in turn. A capture group tries to match a different digit before or after the digit under consideration. The ? suffix then allows the capture to match 0 or 1 times; $#2 turns this into the output digit.
