For small $r$ the Hankel determinants $d_r(n)$ of the sequence $\left({2n+r\choose n}\right)_{n\ge 0}$ are easy to guess and show an interesting modular pattern. For arbitrary $r$ and $n$ no closed formulae are known, but for each positive…
The six Painlev\'e transcendants which originally appeared in the studies of ordinary differential equations have been found numerous applications in physical problems. The well-known examples among which include symmetry reduction of the…
We investigate the large $N$ behavior of the smallest eigenvalue, $\lambda_{N}$, of an $\left(N+1\right)\times \left(N+1\right)$ Hankel (or moments) matrix $\mathcal{H}_{N}$, generated by the weight…
We investigate determinants of random unitary pencils (with scalar or matrix coefficients), which generalize the characteristic polynomial of a single unitary matrix. In particular we examine moments of such determinants, obtained by…
We study the class of Hankel matrices for which the $k\times k$-block-matrices are positive semi-definite. We prove that a $k\times k$-block-matrix has non zero determinant if and only if all $k\times k$-block matrices have non zero…
In this paper we determine the asymptotics of the determinants of truncated Wiener-Hopf plus Hankel operators $\det(W_R(a)\pm H_R(a))$ as $R$ tends to infinity for symbols $a(x)=(x^2/(1+x^2))^\beta$ with the parameter $\beta$ being of small…
We analyze $2\times 2$ Hankel-like determinants $D_n$ that arise in the initial values problem for the ultimate time survival probability $\varphi(u)$ in a homogeneous discrete time risk model $W(n)=u+\kappa n+\sum_{i=1}^nZ_i$, where $Z_i$…
We evaluate Hankel determinants of matrices in which the entries are generating functions for paths consisting of up-steps, down-steps and level steps with a fixed starting point but variable end point. By specialisation, these determinant…
We obtain large n asymptotics for products of powers of the absolute values of the characteristic polynomials in the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble of n\times n matrices. Our results can also be interpreted as asymptotics of the determinant of a…
We derive a general expression for the Hankel determinants of a Dirichlet series F(s) and derive the asymptotic behavior for the special case that F(s) is the Riemann zeta function. In this case the Hankel determinant is a discrete analogue…
Small perturbations of the Jacobi matrix with weights \sqrt n and zero diagonal are considered. A formula relating the asymptotics of polynomials of the first kind to the spectral density is obtained, which is analogue of the classical…
For a long time it has been a challenging goal to identify all orthogonal polynomial systems that occur as eigenfunctions of a linear differential equation. One of the widest classes of such eigenfunctions known so far, is given by…
Suppose $\alpha, \beta$ are Lipschitz strongly concave functions from $[0, 1]$ to $\mathbb{R}$ and $\gamma$ is a concave function from $[0, 1]$ to $\mathbb{R}$, such that $\alpha(0) = \gamma(0) = 0$, and $\alpha(1) = \beta(0) = 0$ and…
A Helson matrix (also known as a multiplicative Hankel matrix) is an infinite matrix with entries $\{a(jk)\}$ for $j,k\geq1$. Here the $(j,k)$'th term depends on the product $jk$. We study a self-adjoint Helson matrix for a particular…
We consider the Jacobi operator (T,D(T)) associated with an indeterminate Hamburger moment problem, and present countable subsets S of the domain D(T) such that span(S) is dense in \ell^2. As an example we have…
In the present paper we derive a new Hankel determinant representation for the square of the Vorob'ev-Yablonski polynomial $\mathcal{Q}_n(x),x\in\mathbb{C}$. These polynomials are the major ingredients in the construction of rational…
The Hankel determinants of a given power series $f$ can be evaluated by using the Jacobi continued fraction expansion of $f$. However the existence of the Jacobi continued fraction needs that all Hankel determinants of $f$ are nonzero. We…
We consider the Jacobi operator (T,D(T)) associated with an indeterminate Hamburger moment problem, i.e., the operator in $\ell^2$ defined as the closure of the Jacobi matrix acting on the subspace of complex sequences with only finitely…
We prove an inequality for Jacobi polynomials that \begin{align} \Delta_n(x):=P_n^{(\alpha_n,\beta_n)}(x)P_n^{(\alpha_{n+1},\beta_{n+1})}(x)- P_{n-1}^{(\alpha_n,\beta_n)}(x)P_{n+1}^{(\alpha_{n+1},\beta_{n+1})}(x)\le 0,\ \forall x\ge 1,…
