Abstract

We describe the algebraic structure of linearly recursive sequences under the Hadamard (point-wise) product. We characterize the invertible elements and the zero divisors. Our methods use the Hopf-algebraic structure of this algebra and classical results on Hopf algebras. We show that our criterion for invertibility is effective if one knows a linearly recursive relation for a sequence and certain information about finitely-generated subgroups of the multiplicitive group of the field.
