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…
This (partly expository) paper originated from the study of Hankel determinants of convolution powers of Catalan numbers and of Narayana polynomials. This led to some Hankel determinants of signed Catalan numbers whose values are multiples…
This note presents some results about Hankel determinants of backwards shifted Catalan-like numbers and related sequences.
In this (mostly expository) paper I want to share some observations prompted by a class of matrices whose determinants are Catalan numbers. Considering different methods of proof we obtain some generalizations and q-analogues and…
In this (partly expository) paper we give a short overview about the close relationship between the sequence of Catalan numbers and Hankel determinants from the point of view of orthogonal polynomials and show that an analogous situation…
Starting with a definition based on the Catalan numbers, we carry out an empirical study of the Rueppel sequence. We use the Hankel transform as the main technique. By means of this transform we find links to such sequences as the Jacobi…
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 give an overview of known results about Hilbert matrices from the point of view of orthogonal polynomials and compute Hankel determinants of harmonic numbers and related topics.
We provide a context around a conjectured closed form for the Hankel transform of linear combinations of consecutive pairs of Catalan numbers. This generalizes the formula for the Hankel transforms of the shifted Catalan numbers and the…
Computer experiments suggest some conjectures about Hankel determinants of convolution powers of Catalan numbers. Unfortunately, for most of them I have no proofs. I would like to present them anyway hoping that someone finds them…
This paper considers the properties of Tribonacci numbers on identities, matrices, and determinants. In the first front part, we obtain several symmetric identities of Tribonacci numbers by a matrix-based approach and binomial inversion…
We prove that the inverse of the Hankel matrix of the reciprocals of the Catalan numbers has integer entries. We generalize the result to an infinite family of generalized Catalan numbers. The Hankel matrices that we consider are associated…
Cigler considered certain shifted Hankel determinants of convolution powers of Catalan numbers and conjectured identities for these determinants. Recently, Fulmek gave a bijective proof of Cigler's conjecture. Cigler then provided a…
In this note we use the analogy between the Catalan sequence and the Rueppel sequence to derive a variety of conjectures surrounding the Hankel transforms of a number of sequences closely related to the Rueppel sequence. Use is made of the…
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…
This note collects some facts and conjectures about the Hankel determinants and their generating functions of the columns of Hoggatt triangles which apparently are related to combinatorial objects such as Young tableaux and Narayana…
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 $8$…
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…
We study the Hankel transforms of sequences related to the central coefficients of a family of Pascal-like triangles. The mechanism of Riordan arrays is used to elucidate the structure of these transforms.
In recent preprints, Cigler considered certain Hankel determinants of convoluted Catalan numbers and conjectured identities for these determinants. In this note, we shall give a bijective proof of Cigler's Conjecture by interpreting…
