A criterion for non-automaticity of sequences
Journal of integer sequences, Tome 6 (2003) no. 3
We give a criterion for a sequence (a_n)_n >= 1 to be non-automatic, i.e., for when there does not exist a finite automaton generating this sequence. As application we generalize a result of Yazdani on the non-automaticity of multiplicative sequences.
