We compute asymptotics for Hankel determinants and orthogonal polynomials with respect to a discontinuous Gaussian weight, in a critical regime where the discontinuity is close to the edge of the associated equilibrium measure support.…
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…
The middle binomial coefficients can be interpreted as numbers of Motzkin paths which have no horizontal steps at positive heights. Assigning suitable weights gives some nice polynomial extensions. We determine the Hankel determinants and…
In this expository paper we compute Hankel determinants of some sequences whose generating functions are given by C-fractions and derive orthogonality properties for associated polynomials.
We study the Hankel determinant for the weight $x^{\alpha}{\rm exp}(-x-t_1/x-t_2/x^2), x\in[0,+\infty)$, with $\alpha>-1,~t_1\in\mathbb{R}\setminus\{0\}, ~t_2>0.$ Compared with the weight $x^{\alpha}{\rm e}^{-x-t_1/x}$ studied in prior work…
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.
We give simple proofs for the Hankel determinants of q-exponential polynomials.
Under the Flaschka-Newell Lax pair, the Darboux transformation for the Painlev\'{e}-II equation is constructed by the limiting technique. With the aid of the Darboux transformation, the rational solutions are represented by the Gram…
We study the Hankel determinant and orthogonal polynomials with respect to the two-parameter weight function $$ w(x)=w(x;t_1, t_2):=\exp(-x^6-t_2 x^4-t_1 x^2),\qquad x\in\mathbb{R}, $$ with $t_1,\; t_2 \in \mathbb{R}$. This problem arises…

We study the distribution of singularities (poles and zeros) of rational solutions of the Painlev\'e IV equation by means of the isomonodromic deformation method. Singularities are expressed in terms of the roots of generalised Hermite…
The Hankel determinants of certain automatic sequences $f$ are evaluated, based on a calculation modulo a prime number. In most cases, the Hankel determinants of automatic sequences do not have any closed-form expressions; the traditional…
In this paper we prove Garvan's conjectured formula for the square of the modular discriminant $\Delta$ as a 3 by 3 Hankel determinant of classical Eisenstein series $E_{2n}$. We then obtain similar formulas involving minors of Hankel…
Several results on Heun's equation are generalized to a certain class of Fuchsian differential equations. Namely, we obtain integral representations of solutions and develop Hermite-Krichever Ansatz on them. In particular, we investigate…
In this paper, we consider the Hankel determinants associated with the singularly perturbed Laguerre weight $w(x)=x^\alpha e^{-x-t/x}$, $x\in (0, \infty)$, $t>0$ and $\alpha>0$. When the matrix size $n\to\infty$, we obtain an asymptotic…
We give an overview of known results about Hilbert matrices from the point of view of orthogonal polynomials and compute Hankel determinants of harmonic numbers and related topics.
In 1975 K. Michael Day produced an exact formula for the determinants of finite Toeplitz matrices whose symbols are rational. The answer is a sum that involves powers of the roots of the numerator of the symbol and whose coefficients depend…
We relate two parameter solutions of the sixth Painlev\'e equation and finite-gap solutions of the Heun equation by considering monodromy on a certain class of Fuchsian differential equations. In the appendix, we present formulae on…
We will classify all rational transformations which change the confluent hypergeometric equations to linear equations of the Painleve type from the first to the fifth. We show such rational transformations correspond to almost all of…
In this paper classical solutions of the degenerate fifth Painlev\'e equation are classified, which include hierarchies of algebraic solutions and solutions expressible in terms of Bessel functions. Solutions of the degenerate fifth…
