Infinite products arising in paperfolding
Journal of integer sequences, Tome 19 (2016) no. 5
J.-P. Allouche recently examined two infinite products where the term is a rational function of the index $n$ raised to the term of the paperfolding sequence $\epsilon _{n}$. A closed form is given only for one of them. We discuss an attempt to produce the missing closed form. We give a detailed analysis of convergence and a closed form for the analogous question, where the paperfolding sequence is replaced by a periodic one.
