We show that the apolar ideals to the determinant and permanent of a generic matrix, the Pfaffian of a generic skew symmetric matrix and the Hafnian of a generic symmetric matrix are each generated in degree two. In each case we specify the…

We define generalized bivariate polynomials, from which upon specification of initial conditions the bivariate Fibonacci and Lucas polynomials are obtained. Using essentially a matrix approach we derive identities and inequalities that in…

Let $V$ be a vector space of rectangular $n\times k$ matrices annihilating the Cullis' determinant. We show that $\dim(V) \le (n-1)k$, extending Dieudonn{\'{e}}'s result on the dimension of vector spaces of square matrices annihilating the…

A formula expressing the fermionic determinant as an infinite product of smaller determinants is derived and discussed. These smaller determinants are of a fixed size, independent of the size of the lattice and are indexed by loops of…

We attach a certain $n \times n$ matrix $A_n$ to the Dirichlet series $L(s)=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}a_k k^{-s}$. We study the determinant, characteristic polynomial, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors of these matrices. The determinant of $A_n$ can…

We study a unitary analog to Redheffer's matrix. It is first proved that the determinant of this matrix is the unitary analogue to that of Redheffer's matrix. We also show that the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial may be…

We define quantum determinants in Quantum Matrix Algebras, related to couples of compatible braidings following the scheme from [G]. We establish relations between these determinants and the so-called column-(row-)determinants, often used…

The $F$-pure threshold is a numerical invariant of prime characteristic singularities, that constitutes an analogue of the log canonical thresholds in characteristic zero. We compute the $F$-pure thresholds of determinantal ideals, i.e., of…

Often in mathematics it is useful to summarize a multivariate phenomenon with a single number and in fact, the determinant -- which is represented by det -- is one of the simplest cases. In fact, this number it is defined only for square…

If a macromolecule is described by curvilinear coordinates or rigid constraints are imposed, the equilibrium probability density that must be sampled in Monte Carlo simulations includes the determinants of different mass-metric tensors. In…

In this paper, we define a matrix which we call Vieta matrix and calculate its determinant: $$ \left( \begin{array}{cccc} 1&1&\cdots&1\\ a_{2}+a_{3}+\cdots+a_{n}&a_{1}+a_{3}+\cdots+a_{n}&\cdots&a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots+a_{n-1}\\…

We introduce a new notion of the determinant, called symmetrized determinant, for a square matrix with the entries in an associative algebra $\AA$. The monomial expansion of the symmetrized determinant is obtained from the standard…

We show that if $A$ is an $n\times n$-matrix, then the diagonal entries of each power $A^{m}$ are uniquely determined by the principal minors of $A$, and can be written as universal (integral) polynomials in the latter. Furthermore, if the…

We derive an identity for the determinant of the sum of two $n\times n$ matrices, $A$ and $B$, whose entries are defined via contour integrals. Specifically, we consider $A(i,j)=\frac{1}{2\pi\mathrm{i}}\oint_0…

The permanent of a square matrix is defined in a way similar to the determinant, but without using signs. The exact computation of the permanent is hard, but there are Monte-Carlo algorithms that can estimate general permanents. Given a…

We study the problem of determining a matrix whose $k$th multiplicative compound is a prescribed matrix~$M$. The cardinality of the set of matrices whose $k$th multiplicative compound equals~$M$ is characterized in terms of $\rank(M)$. On…

For any complex number $\alpha$ and any even-size skew-symmetric matrix $B$, we define a generalization $\pfa{\alpha}(B)$ of the pfaffian $\pf(B)$ which we call the $\alpha$-pfaffian. The $\alpha$-pfaffian is a pfaffian analogue of the…

In this article, we focus on computing the quantiles of a random variable $f(X)$, where $X$ is a $[0,1]^d$-valued random variable, $d \in \mathbb{N}^{\ast}$, and $f:[0,1]^d\to \mathbb{R}$ is a deterministic Lipschitz function. We are…

The aim of this note is to estimate the tail of the distribution of the number of particles in an interval under determinantal and Pfaffian point processes. The main result of the note is that the square of the number of particles under the…

A second order polynomial sequence is of \emph{Fibonacci-type} (\emph{Lucas-type}) if its Binet formula has a structure similar to that for Fibonacci (Lucas) numbers. Known examples of these type of sequences are: Fibonacci polynomials,…
