interesting sequence
is a natural number and
is a sequence of numbers
and
with these properties:
it is periodic and its least period number is
. (it means that for every natural number
we have
and
is the least number with this property.)
There exist distinct integers
such that for every natural number
we have
![\[x_{j+n}=x_{j+t_1}\times x_{j+t_2}\times ... \times x_{j+t_k}\]](//latex.artofproblemsolving.com/a/a/2/aa23ea94af39255dd5d33408a12f25fa6122f3ff.png)
Prove that for every natural number
that
we have
![\[\sum_{i=1}^{2^n-1}x_ix_{i+s}=-1\]](//latex.artofproblemsolving.com/f/b/4/fb417bb37573376cafdcd69cecc9751e6c23164d.png)
