In this paper we extend a notion of Cassini determinant to recently introduced hyperfibonacci sequences. We find $Q$-matrix for the $r$-th generation hyperfibonacci numbers and prove an explicit expression of the Cassini determinant for…
Determinants are useful to represent the state of an interacting system of (effectively) repulsive and independent elements, like fermions in a quantum system and training samples in a learning problem. A computationally challenging problem…
The classic Cayley identity states that \det(\partial) (\det X)^s = s(s+1)...(s+n-1) (\det X)^{s-1} where X=(x_{ij}) is an n-by-n matrix of indeterminates and \partial=(\partial/\partial x_{ij}) is the corresponding matrix of partial…
A combinatorial construction proves an identity for the product of the Pfaffian of a skew-symmetric matrix by the Pfaffian of one of its submatrices. Several applications of this identity are followed by a brief history of Pfaffians.
As a particular one parameter deformation of the quantum determinant, we introduce a quantum $\alpha$-determinant and study the $\mathcal{U}_q(\mathfrak{gl}_n)$-cyclic module generated by it: We show that the multiplicity of each…
We prove that the variety defined by the determinant of the matrix of diagonals is $F$-pure for matrices of all sizes and in all positive prime characteristics. Moreover, we find a system of parameters for it.
Random correlation matrices are studied for both theoretical interestingness and importance for applications. The author of [6] is interested in their interpretation as covariance matrices of purely random signals, the authors of [16]…

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…
A certain determinant is evaluated by guessing and computing the LU-decomposition.
By using a decomposition of the transfer matrix of the two dimensional $q$-state Potts Model to $V^{\prime}_1$ and $V_2$ its determinant is calculated. Our result is a proof for a conjectured formula by Chang and Shrock in [14].
In this paper, we present a new formula for the determinant of a $4 \times 4$ matrix. We approach via the sparse optimization problem and derive the formula through the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO). Our formula…
Starting from the expression for the superdeterminant of (xI-M), where M is an arbitrary supermatrix, we propose a definition for the corresponding characteristic polynomial and we prove that each supermatrix satisfies its characteristic…
We count with a smooth weight the number of $2 \times 2$ integer matrices with a fixed characteristic polynomial with a main term and an error term using bounds for sums of Weyl sums for quadratic roots.
We define a determinant on the Toeplitz algebra associated to a minimal flow, give a formula for this determinant in terms of symbols, and show that this determinant can be used to give information about the algebraic $K$-theory of…
Significant research has been carried out in the past half-century on defining generalised determinants for transformations between (typically real) vector spaces of different dimensions. We review three different generalisations of the…
