Arithmetic of the Fabius function

Abstract

I solve here a question of Vladimir Reshetnikov in Mathoverflow (question 261649) about the values of Fabius function. Namely, I prove that the numbers Rn:=2(n12)(2n)!F(2n)m=1n/2(22m1)R_n:=2^{-\binom{n-1}{2}}(2n)! F(2^{-n})\prod_{m=1}^{\lfloor n/2\rfloor}(2^{2m}-1) are integers. We show also some other arithmetical properties of the values of Fabius function at dyadic points. The Fabius function was defined in 1935 by Jessen and Wintner and has been independently defined at least six times since. We attempt to unify notations related to the Fabius function.
