[#R687] Published binary formulas do not settle the signed determinant

claim. Han's periodic formula concerns the 0/1 Rudin-Shapiro sequence, while the candidate uses signs in \(\{-1,1\}\).

1Summary

Han's Proposition 1.3 computes Hankel determinants modulo 2 for the binary sequence \(u_n=(1-r_n)/2\). Adamczewski and Rivoal construct selected Padé approximants for the signed generating function. Neither cited result states eventual nonvanishing of the leading signed Hankel minors. The signed and binary questions need separate records because reducing entries modulo 2 turns the signed Hankel matrix into an all-ones matrix.

Supported evidence. Recorded scope: the literature comparison for the signed sequence in the candidate.
