On the regularity of the Hankel determinant sequence of the characteristic sequence of powers of 2

Abstract: For any sequences

m a t h b f u = {u (n)}_{n g e q 0}, m a t h b f v = {v (n)}_{n g e q 0},

we define

m a t h b f u m a t h b f v := {u (n) v (n)}_{n g e q 0}

and

m a t h b f u + m a t h b f v := {u (n) + v (n)}_{n g e q 0}

. Let

f_{i} (x) (0 l e q i < k)

be sequence polynomials whose coefficients are integer sequences. We say an integer sequence

m a t h b f u = {u (n)}_{n g e q 0}

is a polynomial generated sequence if

{u(kn+i)}_{ngeq0}=f_i(mathbf{u}),~(0leq i< k).

%Here we define

m a t h b f u m a t h b f v := {u (n) v (n)}_{n g e q 0}

and

m a t h b f u + m a t h b f v := {u (n) + v (n)}_{n g e q 0}

for any two sequences

m a t h b f u = {u (n)}_{n g e q 0}, m a t h b f v = {v (n)}_{n g e q 0} .

In this paper, we study the polynomial generated sequences. Assume

k g e q 2

and

f_{i} (x) = m a t h b f a_{i} x + m a t h b f b_{i} (0 l e q i < k)

. If

m a t h b f a_{i}

are

k

-automatic and

m a t h b f b_{i}

are

k

-regular for

0 l e q i < k

, then we prove that the corresponding polynomial generated sequences are

k

-regular. As a application, we prove that the Hankel determinant sequence

{d e t (p_{i + j})_{i, j = 0}^{n - 1}}_{n g e q 0}

is

2

-regular, where

{p (n)}_{n g e q 0} = 0110100010000 c d o t s

is the characteristic sequence of powers 2. Moreover, we give a answer of Cigler's conjecture about the Hankel determinants.
