Line 117:
The ___domain of an automatic sequence can be extended from the natural numbers to the integers via ''two-sided'' automatic sequences. This stems from the fact that, given ''k''&nbsp;≥&nbsp;2, every integer can be represented uniquely in the form <math> \sum_{0 \leq i \leq r} a_{i}(-k)^{i} , </math> where <math>a_{i} \in \{0, \dots, k-1\}</math>. Then a two-sided infinite sequence ''a''(''n'')<sub>''n''&nbsp;<math>\in \mathbb{Z}</math></sub> is (−''k'')-automatic if and only if its subsequences ''a''(''n'')<sub>n ≥ 0</sub> and ''a''(−''n'')<sub>n ≥ 0</sub> are ''k''-automatic.<ref name=AS162>Allouche & Shallit (2003) p.&nbsp;162</ref>
