The hyperdeteminants considered here are the simplest analogues of determinants for higher rank tensors which have been defined by Cayley, and apply only to tensors with an even number of indices. We have shown in a previous article that…
Hankel determinants of sequences related to Bernoulli and Euler numbers have been studied before, and numerous identities are known. However, when a sequence is shifted by one unit, the situation often changes significantly. In this paper…
We give a short and relatively elementary proof of the Hilton-Milner Theorem.
Using a slightly generalized result of George Andrews and Jet Wimp this note gives a simple computational proof of some Hankel determinants of backwards shifts of convolution powers of Catalan numbers and obtains analogous results for…
We give a generalization and a short mechanized proof of determinant conjectured by G. Kuperberg and J. Propp. Further generalizations and applications of the method to some q-analogues may be found in http://www.math.temple.edu/~tewodros
Starting with some determinants of binomial coefficients which are related to Fibonacci and Lucas polynomials we study similar determinants for some generalizations of these polynomials and their q-analogues.
Carlitz has introduced q-analogues of the Bernoulli numbers around 1950. We obtain a representation of these q-Bernoulli numbers (and some shifted version) as moments of some orthogonal polynomials. This also gives factorisations of Hankel…
We prove evaluations of Hankel determinants of linear combinations of moments of orthogonal polynomials (or, equivalently, of generating functions for Motzkin paths), thus generalising known results for Catalan numbers.
Sulanke and Xin developed a continued fraction method that applies to evaluate Hankel determinants corresponding to quadratic generating functions. We use their method to give short proofs of Cigler's Hankel determinant conjectures, which…
In this note, we apply kernel polynomials to find the explicit inverses for some some Hankel matrices associated with q-orthogonal polynomials.
We prove and generalize a conjecture of Johann Cigler on the Hankel determinants of convolution powers of Narayana polynomials. Our method follows a "guess-and-prove" strategy, relying on established techniques involving Hankel continued…
We obtain formulas for the coefficients of positive and negative powers of a partial theta function.
In this paper, the Hankel transform of the generalized q-exponential polynomial of the first form (q, r)-Whitney numbers of the second kind is established using the method of Cigler. Consequently, the Hankel transform of the first form (q,…
In this paper we continue to investigate a certain class of Hankel-like positive definite kernels using their associated orthogonal polynomials. The main result of this paper is about the structure of this kind of kernels.
It is a standard result that the Hankel determinants for a sequence stay invariant after performing the binomial transform on this sequence. In this work, we extend the scenario to $q$-binomial transforms and study the behavior of the…
We give q-analogues of Wilson's theorem for the primes congruent 1 and 3 modulo 4 respectively. And q-analogues of two congruences due to Mordell and Chowla are also established.
We give an explicit formula for the Hankel transform of a regular sequence in terms of the coefficients of the associated orthogonal polynomials and the sequence itself. We apply this formula to some sequences of combinatorial interest,…
We describe the fundamental constructions and properties of determinantal probability measures and point processes, giving streamlined proofs. We illustrate these with some important examples. We pose several general questions and…
This overview article gives an elementary approach to continuous q-Hermite polynomials. We stress their relation to Fibonacci, Lucas and Chebyshev polynomials and to some q-analogues of these polynomials.
We give an elementary proof to Hasse theorem.
