On some conjectures of P. Barry (Q2043475): Difference between revisions

\textit{P. Barry} [``Some observations on the Rueppel sequence and associated Hankel determinants'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:2005.04066}] studied several integer sequences including the regular paperfolding sequence and the Rueppel sequence. Several of the conjectures formulated there on empirical grounds are proved here, and regularity properties of the sequences involved are studied. A striking instance of the type of results obtained is that for all \(q\ge 2\) the sequence of positive integers whose odd part is congruent to \(1\) modulo \(4\) is not \(q\)-regular.
