In The Delta Conjecture (arxiv:1509.07058), Haglund, Remmel and Wilson introduced a four variable $q,t,z,w$ Catalan polynomial, so named because the specialization of this polynomial at the values $(q,t,z,w) = (1,1,0,0)$ is equal to the…
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.
The $q$-analogs of Bernoulli and Euler numbers were introduced by Carlitz. Similar to the recent results on the Hankel determinants for the $q$-Bernoulli numbers established by Chapoton and Zeng, we determine parallel evaluations for the…
In this paper, our primary goal is to calculate the Hankel determinants for a class of lattice paths, which are distinguished by the step set consisting of \(\{(1,0), (2,0), (k-1,1), (-1,1)\}\), where the parameter \(k\geq 4\). These paths…
We give an explicit evaluation, in terms of products of Jacobsthal numbers, of the Hankel determinants of order a power of two for the period-doubling sequence. We also explicitly give the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the corresponding…
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…
We give conjectures on the form of families of integer sequences whose Hankel transforms are, respectively, $(\alpha, \beta)$ Somos $4$ sequences, $(\alpha, 0, \gamma)$ Somos $6$ sequences, and $(\alpha, \beta, \gamma, \delta)$ Somos $8$…
We investigate the simplest class of hyperdeterminants defined by Cayley in the case of Hankel hypermatrices (tensors of the form $A_{i_1i_2... i_k}=f(i_1+i_2+...+i_k)$). It is found that many classical properties of Hankel determinants can…
$q$-deformed real numbers are power series with integer coefficients. We study Stieltjes and Jacobi type continued fraction expansions of $q$-deformed real numbers and find many new examples of such continued fractions. We also investigate…
We give simple new proofs of some Hankel determinant evaluations by Omer Egecioglu and Aleksandar Cvetkovic, Predrag Rajkovic and Milos Ivkovic and prove analogous results for sums of moments of symmetric orthogonal polynomials.
Given three nonnegative integers $p,q,r$ and a finite field $F$, how many Hankel matrices $\left( x_{i+j}\right) _{0\leq i\leq p,\ 0\leq j\leq q}$ over $F$ have rank $\leq r$ ? This question is classical, and the answer ($q^{2r}$ when…
We show that the Hankel determinants of a generalized Catalan sequence satisfy the equations of the elliptic sequence. As a consequence, the coordinates of the multiples of an arbitrary point on the elliptic curve are expressed by the…
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…
In this paper, we consider polynomials orthogonal with respect to a varying perturbed Laguerre weight $e^{-n(z-\log z+t/z)}$ for $t<0$ and $z$ on certain contours in the complex plane. When the parameters $n$, $t$ and the degree $k$ are…
This paper provides the connection between the Hankel transform and aerating transforms of a given integer sequence. Results obtained are used to establish a completely different Hankel transform evaluation of the series reversion of a…
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…
The Hankel determinant $H_{2,1}(F_{f^{-1}}/2)$ of logarithmic coefficients is defined as: \begin{align*} H_{2,1}(F_{f^{-1}}/2):= \begin{vmatrix} \Gamma_1 & \Gamma_2 \Gamma_2 & \Gamma_3 \end{vmatrix}=\Gamma_1\Gamma_3-\Gamma^2_2, \end{align*}…
We prove a conjecture of Johann Cigler on shifted Hankel determinants.
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 study congruences on sums of products of binomial coefficients that can be proved by using properties of the Jacobi polynomials. We give special attention to polynomial congruences containing Catalan numbers, second-order…
