Letting (t n ) denote the Thue-Morse sequence with values 0, 1, we note that the Woods-Robbins product n≥0 2n + 1 2n + 2 (−1) tn = 2 −1/2 involves a rational function in n and the ±1 Thue-Morse sequence ((−1) tn ) n≥0 . The purpose of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, we try to find other rational functions for which similar infinite products involving the ±1 Thue-Morse sequence have an expression in terms of known constants. On the other hand, we also try to find (possibly different) rational functions R for which the infinite product R(n) tn also has an expression in terms of known constants.
Let (u n ) n≥0 denote the Thue-Morse sequence with values ±1. The Woods-Robbins identity below and several of its generalisations are well-known in the literature ∞ ∏ n=0 arXiv:1709.04104v2 [math.NT]
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
