Determinants of some pentadiagonal matrices

General Mathematics 2021-05-21 v1

Abstract

In this paper we consider pentadiagonal (n+1)×(n+1)(n+1)\times(n+1) matrices with two subdiagonals and two superdiagonals at distances kk and 2k2k from the main diagonal where 1k<2kn1\le k<2k\le n. We give an explicit formula for their determinants and also consider the Toeplitz and "imperfect" Toeplitz versions of such matrices. Imperfectness means that the first and last kk elements of the main diagonal differ from the elements in the middle. Using the rearrangement due to Egerv\'ary and Sz\'asz we also show how these determinants can be factorized.
