Markoff–Lagrange spectrum of one-sided shifts

For the Lagrange spectrum and other applications, we determine the smallest accumulation point of binary sequences that are maximal in their shift orbits. This problem is trivial for the lexicographic order, and its solution is the fixed point of a substitution for the alternating lexicographic order. For orders defined by cylinders, we show that the solutions are $$-adic sequences, where $$ is a certain infinite set of substitutions that contains Sturmian morphisms. We also consider a similar problem for symmetric ternary shifts, which is applicable to the multiplicative version of the Markoff–Lagrange spectrum.
