Conjecture on Hankel determinants of Motzkin convolution powers when the exponent is divisible by 3
Let be the generating function of the Motzkin numbers, let , and write for the Hankel determinant of the coefficients of . For , the conjecture asserts
where . These formulas extend the explicit patterns observed for small convolution powers and predict a structured form for the Hankel determinants when the exponent is a multiple of .
