Occurrences of a factor $w$ in an infinite uniformly recurrent sequence ${\bf u}$ can be encoded by an infinite sequence over a finite alphabet. This sequence is usually denoted ${\bf d_{\bf u}}(w)$ and called the derived sequence to $w$ in…
Lehmer's 1947 conjecture on whether $\tau(n)$ vanishes is still unresolved. In this context, it is natural to consider variants of Lehmer's conjecture. We determine many integers that cannot be values of $\tau(n)$. For example, among the…
We evaluate Hankel determinants of matrices in which the entries are generating functions for paths consisting of up-steps, down-steps and level steps with a fixed starting point but variable end point. By specialisation, these determinant…
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…
We obtain the explicit evaluations of the Hankel determinants of the formal power series $\prod_{k\geq 0}(1+Jx^{3^{k}})$ where $J={(\sqrt{-3}-1)}/2$, and prove that the sequence of Hankel determinants is an aperiodic automatic sequence…
In this paper, we use the tools of Gr\"{o}bner bases and combinatorial secant varieties to study the determinantal ideals $I_t$ of the extended Hankel matrices. Denote by $c$-chain a sequence $a_1,\...,a_k$ with $a_i+c<a_{i+1}$ for all…
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…
For all integers $n \geq k \geq 1$, define $H(n,k) := \sum 1 / (i_1 \cdots i_k)$, where the sum is extended over all positive integers $i_1 < \cdots < i_k \leq n$. These quantities are closely related to the Stirling numbers of the first…
The purpose of this paper is to compute asymptotically Hankel determinants for weights that are supported in a semi-infinite interval.The main idea is to reduce the problem to determinants of other operators whose determinant asymptotics…
We establish an asymptotic formula for determinants of truncated Wiener-Hopf+Hankel operators with symbol equal to the exponential of a constant times the characteristic function of an interval. This is done by reducing it to the…
It is well known that Sturmian sequences are the aperiodic sequences that are balanced over a 2-letter alphabet. They are also characterized by their complexity: they have exactly $(n+1)$ factors of length $n$. One possible generalization…
A sequence of approximations for the determinant and its logarithm of a complex matrixis derived, along with relative error bounds. The determinant approximations are derived from expansions of det(X)=exp(trace(log(X))), and they apply to…
The Hofstadter $H$ sequence is defined by $H(1) = 1$ and $H(n) = n-H(H(H(n-1)))$ for $n > 1$. If $\alpha$ is the real root of $x^3+x=1$ we show that the numbers $\alpha H(n) \mod 1$ are not uniformly distributed on $[0,1]$, but converge to…
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 establish various certifying determinantal representation results for a polynomial that contains as a factor a prescribed multivariable polynomials that is strictly stable on a tube domain. The proofs use a Cayley transform in…
Graham and Winkler derived a formula for the determinant of the distance matrix of a full-dimensional set of $n + 1$ points $\{ x_{0}, x_{1}, \ldots , x_{n} \}$ in the Hamming cube $H_{n} = ( \{ 0,1 \}^{n}, \ell_{1} )$. In this article we…
Central, standard, and Christoffel words are three strongly interrelated classes of binary finite words which represent a finite counterpart of characteristic Sturmian words. A natural arithmetization of the theory is obtained by…
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…
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…
For any field k and any integers m,n with 0 <= 2m <= n+1, let W_n be the k-vector space of sequences (x_0,...,x_n), and let H_m be the subset of W_n consisting of the sequences that satisfy a degree-m linear recursion, that is, for which…
