We show that the permanent of a matrix is a linear combination of determinants of block diagonal matrices which are simple functions of the original matrix. To prove this, we first show a more general identity involving \alpha-permanents:…
In this article we provide with combinatorial proofs of some recent identities due to Sury and McLaughlin. We show that, the solution of a general linear recurrence with constant coefficients can be interpreted as a determinant of a matrix.…
We derive identities for the determinants of matrices whose entries are (rising) powers of (products of) polynomials that satisfy a recurrence relation. In particular, these results cover the cases for Fibonacci polynomials, Lucas…
We exhibit explicit expressions, in terms of components, of discriminants, determinants, characteristic polynomials and polynomial identities for matrices of higher rank. We define permutation tensors and in term of them we construct…
In this paper we give the absolutely new proof of a conjecture of R.F.Scott(1881) on the permanent of a Cauchy matrix $\ls \frac{1}{x_i-y_j} \rs_{1 \leqslant i,j \leqslant n},$ where $x_1, ..., x_n$ and $y_1, ..., y_n$ are the distinct…
Cauchy's determinant formula (1841) involving $\det ((1-u_i v_j)^{-1})$ is a fundamental result in symmetric function theory. It has been extended in several directions, including a determinantal extension by Frobenius [J. reine angew.…
In this paper we give a new formula for the $n$-th power of a $2\times2$ matrix. More precisely, we prove the following: Let $A= \left ( \begin{matrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{matrix} \right )$ be an arbitrary $2\times2$ matrix, $T=a+d$ its…
We give a short proof of the Cauchy-Binet determinantal formula using multilinear algebra by first generalizing it to an identity {\em not} involving determinants. By extending the formula to abstract Hilbert spaces we obtain, as a…
We prove, by simple manipulation of commutators, two noncommutative generalizations of the Cauchy-Binet formula for the determinant of a product. As special cases we obtain elementary proofs of the Capelli identity from classical invariant…
In this paper we provide an identity between determinant and generalized matrix function. Also, a criterion of positive semi-definite matrices affirming the permanent dominant conjecture is given. As a consequence, infinitely many infinite…
We apply the Desnanot-Jacobi identity to give an alternative proof of the determinants whose entries are rising powers of the Fibonacci numbers given by Prodinger. We then generalize the determinants to include entries that are rising…
We extend our investigation of $2$-determinants, which we defined in a previous paper. For a linear homogenous recurrence of the second order, we consider relations between different sequences satisfying the same linear homogeneous…
We get several identities of differential operators in determinantal form. These identities are non-commutative versions of the formula of Cauchy-Binet or Laplace expansions of determinants, and if we take principal symbols, they are…
Let $A$ be an $n\times n$ real Toeplitz matrix satisfying $A+A^{\top}=2\mathbb J_n$, where $\mathbb J_n$ is the all-ones matrix.If $A_r(i,j)$ denotes the $r\times r$ contiguous submatrix of $A$ consisting of rows $i,i+1,\dots,i+r-1$ and…
We prove a constant term conjecture of Robbins and Zeilberger (J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 66 (1994), 17-27), by translating the problem into a determinant evaluation problem and evaluating the determinant. This determinant generalizes the…
We prove an interesting identity for the sum of determinants, which is a generalization of the sum of a geometric progression. The proof is quite long and a number of other identities are proved along the way. Some of the more elementary…

A polynomial-time algorithm for computing the permanent in any field of characteristic 3 is presented in this article. The principal objects utilized for that purpose are the Cauchy and Vandermonde matrices, the discriminant function and…
