Computer assisted proof for Apwenian sequences related to Hankel determinants (1601.04370v1)

Abstract: An infinite $\pm 1$-sequence is called {\it Apwenian} if its Hankel determinant of order $n$ divided by $2^{n-1}$ is an odd number for every positive integer $n$. In 1998, Allouche, Peyri`ere, Wen and Wen discovered and proved that the Thue--Morse sequence is an Apwenian sequence by direct determinant manipulations. Recently, Bugeaud and Han re-proved the latter result by means of an appropriate combinatorial method. By significantly improving the combinatorial method, we prove that several other Apwenian sequences related to the Hankel determinants with Computer Assistance.
