[#R77] Non-apwenian does not mean that a determinant vanishes

claim. Exact integer elimination certifies \(H_n\ne0\) for \(1\le n\le110\), and a self-reported audit modulo \(100000007\) finds nonzero residues through \(n=4999\); integer nonvanishing for every \(n\ge5000\) remains open.

1Summary

An apwenian binary sequence has every normalized Hankel determinant odd. Guo and Han's Example 11 classifies Baum-Sweet as non-apwenian. This agrees with \(H_3=-2\), but it leaves integer nonvanishing open. The classical function-field continued fraction also concerns a different object. Neither result resolves the candidate's claim.

Supported evidence. Recorded scope: the parity pattern of all Baum-Sweet Hankel determinants.
