Infinite products involving binary digit sums
Abstract: Let $(u_n){n\ge 0}$ denote the Thue-Morse sequence with values $\pm 1$. The Woods-Robbins identity below and several of its generalisations are well-known in the literature \begin{equation*}\label{WR}\prod{n=0}\infty\left(\frac{2n+1}{2n+2}\right){u_n}=\frac{1}{\sqrt 2}.\end{equation*} No other such product involving a rational function in $n$ and the sequence $u_n$ seems to be known in closed form. To understand these products in detail we study the function \begin{equation*}f(b,c)=\prod_{n=1}\infty\left(\frac{n+b}{n+c}\right){u_n}.\end{equation*} We prove some analytical properties of $f$. We also obtain some new identities similar to the Woods-Robbins product.
