摘要: In 1998, Allouche, Peyriere, Wen and Wen established a congruence relation between the Hankel determinants of the
Thue-Morse sequence, and proved that all the Hankel determinants of the Thue-Morse sequence are nonzero. Similar
properties for two other sequences, namely, the Gros sequence and the regular paperfolding sequence, were derived
by Coons and Guo-Wu-Wen using the same method -- the human proof. In this talk, we present two computer assisted
proofs, and show that the Hankel determinants of large classes of automatic sequences are nonzero or periodic.
This talk is dedicated to the memory of Prof. Wen-Tsun Wu (1919.05.12--2017.05.07)
