- We show that it is decidable, given an automatic sequence $\bf s$ and a constant $c$, whether all prefixes of $\bf s$ have a string attractor of size $\leq c$. Using a decision procedure based on this result, we show that all prefixes of the period-doubling sequence of length $\geq 2$ have a string attractor of size $2$. We also prove analogous results for other sequences, including the Thue-Morse sequence and the Tribonacci sequence. We also provide general upper and lower bounds on string attractor size for different kinds of sequences. For example, if $\bf s$ has a finite appearance constant, then there is a string attractor for ${\bf s}[0..n-1]$ of size $O(\log n)$. If further $\bf s$ is linearly recurrent, then there is a string attractor for ${\bf s}[0..n-1]$ of size $O(1)$. For automatic sequences, the size of the smallest string attractor for ${\bf s}[0..n-1]$ is either $Θ(1)$ or $Θ(\log n)$, and it is decidable which case occurs. Finally, we close with some remarks about greedy string attractors.
