Odd behavior in the coefficients of reciprocals of binary power series

Abstract: Let

m a t h c a l A

be a finite subset of

m a t h b b N

including

0

and

f_{m} a t h c a l A (n)

be the number of ways to write

n = s u m_{i = 0}^{i n f t y} e p s i l o n_{i} 2^{i}

, where

e p s i l o n_{i} i n m a t h c a l A

. The sequence

is always periodic, and

f_{m} a t h c a l A (n)

is typically more often even than odd. We give four families of sets

l e f t (m a t h c a l A_{m} i g h t)

with

l e f t | m a t h c a l A_{m} i g h t | = 4

such that the proportion of odd

f_{m a t h c a l A_{m}} (n)

's goes to

1

as

m o i n f t y

.
