Since every even power of the Vandermonde determinant is a symmetric polynomial, we want to understand its decomposition in terms of the basis of Schur functions. We investigate several combinatorial properties of the coefficients in the…
Using recurrence matrices, defined and described with some details, we study a few determinants related to evaluations of binomial coefficients on Dirichlet characters modulo 2, 4 and 8.
In this paper, the result of applying iterative univariate resultant constructions to multivariate polynomials is analyzed. We consider the input polynomials as generic polynomials of a given degree and exhibit explicit decompositions into…
We prove a strengthened form of a conjecture of Sun on a determinant attached to a binary quadratic form. Let $n>3$ and let $c,d\in\Z$. If $n$ is composite, then \[ \det\big[(i^2+cij+dj^2)^{n-2}\big]_{0\leq i,j\leq n-1}\equiv 0\pmod {n^2}…
We compute two parametric determinants in which rows and columns are indexed by compositions, where in one determinant the entries are products of binomial coefficients, while in the other the entries are products of powers. These results…
We define the derivative of an integer to be the map sending every prime to 1 and satisfying the Leibniz rule. The aim of this article is to calculate the Dirichlet product of this map with a function arithmetic multiplicative.
In this paper we evaluate several determinants involving quadratic residues modulo primes. For example, for any prime $p>3$ with $p\equiv3\pmod4$ and $a,b\in\mathbb Z$ with $p\nmid ab$, we prove that $$\det\left[ 1+\tan\pi\frac{aj^2+bk^2}p…
Let $p>3$ be a prime and $(\frac{.}{p})$ be the Legendre symbol. For any integer $d$ with $p\nmid d$ and any positive integer $m$, Sun introduced the determinants…
We compute the determinant of $\sum_{n=1}^{N} \vec{A}^{(n)} \otimes \vec{B}^{(n)}$, where $\vec{A}^{(n)}$ is square and ${\vec{B}^{(n)}=\vec{x}^{(n)}{\vec{y}^{(n)}}^T}$ where $\vec{x}^{(n)}$ and $\vec{y}^{(n)}$ have length $N$.
Chen et al. recently established bijections for $(d+1)$-noncrossing/ nonnesting matchings, oscillating tableaux of bounded height $d$, and oscillating lattice walks in the $d$-dimensional Weyl chamber. Stanley asked what is the total number…
For an irreducible orthogonal character $\chi $ of even degree there is a unique square class $\det({\chi })$ in the character field such that the invariant quadratic forms in any $L$-representation affording $\chi $ have determinant in…
Siegel-Shidlovskii theory of $E$-functions involves a non-vanishing proof for the determinants attached to the linear forms $D^kR(t)$, derivatives of an auxiliary function $R(t)$. Let a non-zero function $F(t)$ satisfy $m$th order linear…
For a real number $t$, let $r_\ell(t)$ be the total weight of all $t$-large Schr\"{o}der paths of length $\ell$, and $s_\ell(t)$ be the total weight of all $t$-small Schr\"{o}der paths of length $\ell$. For constants $\alpha, \beta$, in…
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…
We apply the Desnanot-Jacobi identity to give an alternative proof of the determinants whose entries are rising powers of the Fibonacci numbers given by Prodinger. We then generalize the determinants to include entries that are rising…
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…
Let $T$ be a tournament with $n$ vertices $v_1,\ldots,v_n$. The skew-adjacency matrix of $T$ is the $n\times n$ zero-diagonal matrix $S_T = [s_{ij}]$ in which $s_{ij}=-s_{ji}=1$ if $ v_i $ dominates $ v_j $. We define the determinant…
We derive expressions for the partition function p(n), with n in the form 7k+a, as (k+1)-dimensional determinants.
We present here a new method for evaluating determinants -- the reduction method. Firstly, in the section 2, we apply it to third-order determinants and after, in the section 3, we generalize it to higher-order determinants. In the section…
We show that for a multivariable polynomial $p(z)=p(z_1, \ldots , z_d)$ with a determinantal representation $$ p(z) = p(0) \det (I_n- K (\oplus_{j=1}^d z_j I_{n_j}))$$ the matrix $K$ is structurally similar to a strictly $J$-contractive…
