The p-adic valuations of sequences counting alternating sign matrices

Number Theory 2009-01-30 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

The p-adic valuations of a sequence of integers T(n) counting alternating sign matrices is examined for p=2 and p=3. Symmetry properties of their graphs produce a new proof of the result that characterizes the indices for which T(n) is odd.
