In the context of generating uniform random contingency tables with pre-specified marginals, the number of (binary) matrices with given row- and column-sums is a well-studied object in the literature. We will denote this number by $N(p,q)$,…
Given finitely many consecutive terms of an infinite sequence, we discuss the construction of a polynomial difference equation that the sequence may satisfy. We also present a method to seek a candidate polynomial differential equation for…

This paper investigates the location of the zeros of a sequence of polynomials generated by a rational function with a binomial-type denominator. We show that every member of a two-parameter family consisting of such generating functions…
Many questions in number theory concern the nonvanishing of determinants of square matrices of logarithms (complex or p-adic) of algebraic numbers. We present a new conjecture that states that if such a matrix has vanishing determinant,…
We consider the set of $n\times n$ matrices with rational entries having numerator and denominator of size at most $H$ and obtain upper and lower bounds on the number of such matrices of a given rank and then apply them to count such…
We give a bijective correspondence between the number of nilpotent matrices over a Boolean semiring and the number of directed acyclic graphs on ordered vertices. We then enumerate pairs of maps between two finite sets whose composites are…
The middle binomial coefficients can be interpreted as numbers of Motzkin paths which have no horizontal steps at positive heights. Assigning suitable weights gives some nice polynomial extensions. We determine the Hankel determinants and…
Within the framework of the theory of quaternion column-row determinants and using determinantal representations of the Moore-Penrose inverse previously obtained by the author, we get explicit determinantal representation formulas of…
In this paper we give a new and simple algorithm to put any multivariate polynomial into a normal determinant form in which each entry has the form , and in each column the same variable appears. We also apply the algorithm to obtain a…
In a recent paper the authors studied the denominators of polynomials that represent power sums by Bernoulli's formula. Here we extend our results to power sums of arithmetic progressions. In particular, we obtain a simple explicit…
This short note, in part of expository nature, points out several new or recent consequences of a quite nice decomposition for positive semi-definite matrices.
A binomial residue is a rational function defined by a hypergeometric integral whose kernel is singular along binomial divisors. Binomial residues provide an integral representation for rational solutions of A-hypergeometric systems of…
We give an explicit determinant formula for a class of rational solutions of the Painlev\'e V equation in terms of the universal characters.
We show that a determinantal ideal generated by $t$-minors does not contain any nonzero polynomials with $t!/2$ or fewer terms. Geometrically this means that any nonzero polynomial vanishing on all matrices of rank at most $t-1$ has more…
Following Benjamin et al., a matrix with entries being sums of two neighbouring Catalan numbers is considered. Its LU-decomposition is given, by guessing the results and later prove it by computer algebra, with lots of human help.…
We develop a unified method to study spectral determinants for several different manifolds, including spheres and hemispheres, and projective spaces. This is a direct consequence of an approach based on deriving recursion relations for the…
This note presents some results about Hankel determinants of backwards shifted Catalan-like numbers and related sequences.
We present an efficient algorithm to compute permanents, mixed discriminants and hyperdeterminants of structured matrices and multidimensional arrays (tensors). We describe the sparsity structure of an array in terms of a graph, and we…
Various formulas for reciprocals of densely defined weighted composition operators in $L^2$-spaces as well as for their adjoints are provided. The relation between the reciprocal of a weighted composition operator and the product of the…
