We examine relationships between two minors of order n of some matrices of n rows and n+r columns. This is done through a class of determinants, here called $n$-determinants, the investigation of which is our objective. We prove that…

Several determinants with gamma functions as elements are evaluated. This kind of determinants are encountered in the computation of the probability density of the determinant of random matrices. The s-shifted factorial is defined as a…

We investigate binary voting systems with two types of voters and a hierarchy among the members in each type, so that members in one class have more influence or importance than members in the other class. The purpose of this paper is to…

We give a new combinatorial explanation for well-known relations between determinants and traces of matrix powers. Such relations can be used to obtain polynomial-time and poly-logarithmic space algorithms for the determinant. Our new…

Multiple binomial sums form a large class of multi-indexed sequences, closed under partial summation, which contains most of the sequences obtained by multiple summation of products of binomial coefficients and also all the sequences with…

A binary tensor consists of $2^n$ entries arranged into hypercube format $2 \times 2 \times \cdots \times 2$. There are $n$ ways to flatten such a tensor into a matrix of size $2 \times 2^{n-1}$. For each flattening, $M$, we take the…

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…

We study a reproducing kernel Hilbert space of functions defined on the positive integers and associated to the binomial coefficients. We introduce two transforms, which allow us to develop a related harmonic analysis in this Hilbert space.…

In this short note, we establish some identities containing sums of binomials with coefficients satisfying third order linear recursive relations. As a result and in particular, we obtain general forms of earlier identities involving…

We prove several evaluations of determinants of matrices, the entries of which are given by the recurrence $a_{i,j}=a_{i-1,j}+a_{i,j-1}$, or variations thereof. These evaluations were either conjectured or extend conjectures by Roland…

We compute the resultants for quadratic binomial complete intersections. As an application we show that any quadratic binomial complete intersection can have the set of square-free monomials as a vector space basis if the generators are put…

This paper improves previously known bounds on the determinant of 0-1 matrices where each row has fixed support size. This uses a method based on Scheinerman's, with new analyses to improve upon his conjectures.

We investigate the structure of ideals generated by binomials (polynomials with at most two terms) and the schemes and varieties associated to them. The class of binomial ideals contains many classical examples from algebraic geometry, and…

This paper studies the problem of decomposing a low-rank positive-semidefinite matrix into symmetric factors with binary entries, either $\{\pm 1\}$ or $\{0,1\}$. This research answers fundamental questions about the existence and…

Some applications of a result, which is proved recently, is considered. We first prove three determinantal identities concerning the binomial coefficient and Stirling numbers of the first and the second kind. We also easily obtain the…

We obtain approximation results for general positive linear operators satisfying mild conditions, when acting on discontinuous functions and absolutely continuous functions having discontinuous derivatives. The upper bounds, given in terms…

In this paper, we prove that any collocation matrix of Bessel polynomials at positive points is strictly totally positive, that is, all its minors are positive. Moreover, an accurate method to construct the bidiagonal factorization of these…

In nice cases, a zero-dimensional complete intersection ideal over a field of characteristic zero has a Shape Lemma. There are also cases where the ideal is generated by the resultant and first subresultant polynomials of the generators.…

We evaluate determinants of "spiral" matrices, which are matrices in which entries are spiralling from the centre of the matrices towards the outside, with prescribed increments from one entry to the next depending on whether one moves…

In this article, we discuss a bivariate distribution whose conditionals are univariate binomial distributions and the marginals are not binomial that exhibits negative correlation. Some useful structural properties of this distribution…
