We consider Hankel determinants of the sequence of Catalan numbers modulo 2 (interpreted as integers 0 and 1) and more generally Hankel determinants where the sum over all permutations reduces to a single signed permutation.
The Hankel determinants $\left(\frac{r}{2(i+j)+r}\binom{2(i+j)+r}{i+j}\right)_{0\leq i,j \leq n-1}$ of the convolution powers of Catalan numbers were considered by Cigler and by Cigler and Krattenthaler. We evaluate these determinants for…
In this paper we introduce a class of determinants "of Hankel type". We use them to compute certain remarkable families of Drinfeld quasi-modular forms.
We evaluate the Hankel determinants of various sequences related to Bernoulli and Euler numbers and special values of the corresponding polynomials. Some of these results arise as special cases of Hankel determinants of certain sums and…
In this paper we confirm several conjectures of Z.-W. Sun on Hankel-type determinants for some combinatorial sequences including Franel numbers, Domb numbers and Ap\'ery numbers. For any nonnegative integer $n$, define…
Using continued fraction expansions of certain polygamma functions as a main tool, we find orthogonal polynomials with respect to the odd-index Bernoulli polynomials $B_{2k+1}(x)$ and the Euler polynomials $E_{2k+\nu}(x)$, for $\nu=0, 1,…
We present a formula that expresses the Hankel determinants of a linear combination of length $d+1$ of moments of orthogonal polynomials in terms of a $d\times d$ determinant of the orthogonal polynomials. This formula exists somehow hidden…
This paper sets out to introduce the generalized derangement polynomials of order $r $. It then proceeds to establish various identities associated with these polynomials, along with providing recurrence relations for derangement…
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…
I study Hankel determinants of a class of sequences which can be interpreted as generalizations of the Catalan numbers and the central binomial coefficients. They follow a modular pattern with a frequent appearance of zeroes, so that the…
To a sequence (s_n)_{n\ge 0} of real numbers we associate the sequence of Hankel matrices \mathcal H_n=(s_{i+j}),0\le i,j \le n. We prove that if the corresponding sequence of Hankel determinants D_n=\det\mathcal H_n satisfy D_n>0 for n<n_0…
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…
For any integer $m\geq 2$ and $r \in \{1,\dots, m\}$, let $f_n^{m,r}$ denote the number of $n$-Dyck paths whose peak's heights are $im+r$ for some integer $i$. We find the generating function of $f_n^{m,r}$ satisfies a simple algebraic…
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…
An extensive literature exists describing various techniques for the evaluation of Hankel determinants. The prevailing methods such as Dodgson condensation, continued fraction expansion, LU decomposition, all produce product formulas when…
By prepending zeros to a given sequence Hankel determinants of backward shifts of this sequence become meaningful. We obtain some results for the sequences of Catalan numbers and of some numbers and polynomials which are related to Catalan…
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…
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.
Martin Aigner introduced Catalan-like numbers as elements of the first column of admissible matrices and studied Hankel determinants of their forward shifts. In this paper we collect some properties of the Hankel determinants of the other…
This note presents some results about Hankel determinants of backwards shifted Catalan-like numbers and related sequences.
