A method for determining the mod-\(2^k\) behaviour of recursive sequences, with applications to subgroup counting
The electronic journal of combinatorics, The Zeilberger Festschrift volume, Tome 18 (2011) no. 2
We present a method to obtain congruences modulo powers of $2$ for sequences given by recurrences of finite depth with polynomial coefficients. We apply this method to Catalan numbers, Fuß--Catalan numbers, and to subgroup counting functions associated with Hecke groups and their lifts. This leads to numerous new results, including many extensions of known results to higher powers of $2$.
