This paper presents a method for expressing the determinant of an N {\times} N complex block matrix in terms of its constituent blocks. The result allows one to reduce the determinant of a matrix with N^2 blocks to the product of the…

We evaluate determinants of "spiral" matrices, which are matrices in which entries are spiralling from the centre of the matrices towards the outside, with prescribed increments from one entry to the next depending on whether one moves…
This paper is about analytic properties of single transfer matrices originating from general block-tridiagonal or banded matrices. Such matrices occur in various applications in physics and numerical analysis. The eigenvalues of the…
Given a block triangular matrix $M$ over a noncommutative ring with invertible diagonal blocks, this work gives two new representations of its inverse $M^{-1}$. Each block element of $M^{-1}$ is explicitly expressed via a quasideterminant…

Let $T=\begin{bmatrix} X &Y\\ 0 & Z\end{bmatrix}$ be an $n$-square matrix, where $X, Z$ are $r$-square and $(n-r)$-square, respectively. Among other determinantal inequalities, it is proved $\det(I_n+T^*T)\ge \det(I_r+X^*X)\cdot…
We show that certain integral positive definite symmetric tridiagonal matrices of determinant $n$ are in one to one correspondence with elements of $(\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z)^*$. We study some properties of this correspondence. In a somewhat…
Let $M$ be an $mn\times mn$ matrix over a commutative ring $R$. Divide $M$ into $m \times m$ blocks. Assume that the blocks commute pairwise. Consider the following two procedures: (1) Evaluate the $n \times n$ determinant formula at these…
We prove several evaluations of determinants of matrices, the entries of which are given by the recurrence $a_{i,j}=a_{i-1,j}+a_{i,j-1}$, or variations thereof. These evaluations were either conjectured or extend conjectures by Roland…
In this paper, another proof of Pell identities is presented by using the determinant of tridiagonal matrices. It is calculated via the Laplace expansion.
In this article, we evaluate determinants of block hook matrices, which are block matrices consist of hook matrices. In particular, we deduce that the determinant of a block hook matrix factorizes nicely. In addition we give a combinatorial…
The hyperdeterminant of a polynomial (interpreted as a symmetric tensor) factors into several irreducible factors with multiplicities. Using geometric techniques these factors are identified along with their degrees and their…
The aim of this paper is to study determinants of matrices related to the Pascal triangle.
First, we consider a nonnegative homogeneous block tri-diagonal matrix and obtain its convergence parameter, where some results in the field of matrix analytic method are extended to the case where block matrices have countably infinite…
In this note I prove a~claim on determinants of some special tridiagonal matrices. Together with my result about Fibonacci partitions (arXiv:math/0307150), this claim allows one to prove one (slightly strengthened) Shallit's result about…
A new matrix operation based on inserting columns and rows, similarly to the mediant operation between fractions, gives rise to the Farey determinants matrix or, equivalently, the matrix of the numerators of the differences of Farey…
A square matrix is $k$-Toeplitz if its diagonals are periodic sequences of period $k$. We find universal formulas for the determinant, the characteristic polynomial, some eigenvectors, and the entries of the inverse of any tridiagonal…
The discriminant of a multivariate polynomial with indeterminate coefficients is not necessarily a hypersurface, and characterizing its codimension was an open problem for quite a while. We resolve this problem for the discriminants of…
