In this paper we characterise the indeterminate case by the eigenvalues of the Hankel matrices being bounded below by a strictly positive constant. An explicit lower bound is given in terms of the orthonormal polynomials and we find…

For non-negative integers $r$ and $m$, let $S_m^{(r)}(n)$ denote the $r$-fold summation (or hyper-sum) over the first $n$ positive integers to the $m$th powers, with the initial condition $S_m^{(0)}(n) =n^m$. In this paper, we derive a new…

We investigate determinants of random unitary pencils (with scalar or matrix coefficients), which generalize the characteristic polynomial of a single unitary matrix. In particular we examine moments of such determinants, obtained by…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and let $a,m$ be integers with $a>0$ and $m \not\equiv0\pmod p$. In this paper we determine $\sum_{k=0}^{p^a-1}\binom{2k}{k+d}/m^k$ mod $p^2$ for $d=0,1$; for example,…

In this paper we establish some new congruences involving central binomial coefficients as well as Catalan numbers. Let $p$ be a prime and let $a$ be any positive integer. We determine $\sum_{k=0}^{p^a-1}\binom{2k}{k+d}$ mod $p^2$ for…

Four new examples of explicitly diagonalizable Hankel matrices depending on a parameter $k\in(0,1)$ are presented. The Hankel matrices are regarded as matrix operators on the Hilbert space $\ell^{2}(\mathbb{N}_{0})$ and the solution of the…

We describe a class of matrices whose determinants are trivial to compute. A nice example of such a matrix is given by considering the symmetric matrix with entries {i+j choose i} (mod 2) in {0,1}, 0 <= i,j < n the binomial coefficients…

We obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of integer $2\times 2$ matrices that have determinant $\Delta$ and whose absolute values of the entries are at most $H$. The result holds uniformly for a large range of $\Delta$ with respect to…

Smith normal form evaluations found by Bessenrodt and Stanley for some Hankel matrices of q-Catalan numbers are proven in two ways. One argument generalizes the Bessenrodt-Stanley results for the Smith normal form of a certain multivariate…

We introduce a sequence of orthogonal polynomials whose associated moments are the Rayleigh-type sums, involving the zeros of the Bessel derivative $J_\nu'$ of order $\nu$. We also discuss the fundamental properties of those polynomials…

The Hankel determinants of a given power series $f$ can be evaluated by using the Jacobi continued fraction expansion of $f$. However the existence of the Jacobi continued fraction needs that all Hankel determinants of $f$ are nonzero. We…

Let $A$ and $B$ be complex numbers, and let $(w_n)_{n\ge0}$ be a sequence of complex numbers with $w_{n+1}=Aw_n-Bw_{n-1}$ for all $n=1,2,3,\ldots$. When $w_0=0$ and $w_1=1$, the sequence $(w_n)_{n\ge0}$ is just the Lucas sequence…

Using the notion of quantum integers associated with a complex number $q\neq 0$, we define the quantum Hilbert matrix and various extensions. They are Hankel matrices corresponding to certain little $q$-Jacobi polynomials when $|q|<1$, and…

Michael Somos conjectured a relation between Hankel determinants whose entries $\frac 1{2n+1}\binom{3n}n$ count ternary trees and the number of certain plane partitions and alternating sign matrices. Tamm evaluated these determinants by…

Hankel tensors arise from applications such as signal processing. In this paper, we make an initial study on Hankel tensors. For each Hankel tensor, we associate it with a Hankel matrix and a higher order two-dimensional symmetric tensor,…

The determinant of a lower Hessenberg matrix (Hessenbergian) is expressed as a sum of signed elementary products indexed by initial segments of nonnegative integers. A closed form alternative to the recurrence expression of Hessenbergians…

In the paper, we give the recurrent equations of the Hankel determinants of the Cantor sequence, and show that the Hankel determinants as a double sequence is 3-automatic. With the help of the Hankel determinants, we prove that the…

Based on a determinantal formula for the higher derivative of a quotient of two functions, we first present the determinantal expressions of Eulerian polynomials and Andre polynomials. In particular, we discover that the Euler number…

Making use of Chebyshev polynomials, we obtain upper bound estimate for the second Hankel determinant of a subclass $\mathcal{N}_{\sigma }^{\mu}\left( \lambda ,t\right) $ of bi-univalent function class $\sigma.$

Let p be any odd prime. We mainly show that $$\sum_{k=1}^{p-1}binomial(3k,k)*2^k/k=0 (mod p)$$ and $$\sum_{k=1}^{p-1}2^{k-1}C_k^{(2)}=(-1)^{(p-1)/2}-1 (mod p),$$ where $C_k^{(2)}=binomial(3k,k)/(2k+1)$ is the $k$th Catalan number of order…
