The purpose of this article is threefold. First, it provides the reader with a few useful and efficient tools which should enable her/him to evaluate nontrivial determinants for the case such a determinant should appear in her/his research.…
This article evaluates the determinants of two classes of special matrices, which are both from a number theory problem. Applications of the evaluated determinants can be found in [arXiv:math.NT/0509523]. Note that the two determinants are…
We compute two parametric determinants in which rows and columns are indexed by compositions, where in one determinant the entries are products of binomial coefficients, while in the other the entries are products of powers. These results…
A determinant evaluation is proven, a special case of which establishes a conjecture of Bombieri, Hunt, and van der Poorten (Experimental Math\. {\bf 4} (1995), 87--96) that arose in the study of Thue's method of approximating algebraic…
We present here a new method for evaluating determinants -- the reduction method. Firstly, in the section 2, we apply it to third-order determinants and after, in the section 3, we generalize it to higher-order determinants. In the section…
The purpose of this article is to present, in a simple way, an analytic approach to special numbers and polynomials. The approach is based on the derivative polynomials. The paper is, to some extent, a review article, although it contains…
The paper deals with the resolution of third and fourth degree equations by means of radicals. It is a survey of some historical details about this fundamental problem. Moreover, it explains practical methods for the resolution of third and…
A novel type of approximants is introduced, being based on the ideas of self-similar approximation theory. The method is illustrated by the examples possessing the structure typical of many problems in applied mathematics. Good numerical…
This is a supplement to the article "Markov Chain Monte Carlo Based on Deterministic Transformations" available at http://arxiv.org/abs/1106.5850
In this brief semi-expository article we present a few efficient techniques for calculating and proving determinantal identities. Several stimulating examples of different flavor and applications are spread across the pages which we hope…
In this {\it case study}, we hope to show why Sheldon Axler was not just wrong, but {\em wrong}, when he urged, in 1995: ``Down with Determinants!''. We first recall how determinants are useful in enumerative combinatorics, and then…
We prove three conjectures concerning the evaluation of determinants, which are related to the counting of plane partitions and rhombus tilings. One of them was posed by George Andrews in 1980, the other two were by Guoce Xin and Christian…
This is a sequel to the paper [K. Fujii : SIGMA {\bf 7} (2011), 022, 12 pages]. In this paper we treat a non-Gaussian integral based on a quartic polynomial and make a mathematical experiment by use of MATHEMATICA whether the integral is…
This volume is a collection of six papers on the use of auxiliary information and 'a priori' values in construction of improved estimators. The work included here will be of immense application for researchers and students who emply…
In the paper are proved theorems, which amplify the results of my paper "On the difference equation of Poincare type (Part 3)", Max-Plank-Institut fuer Mathematik, Bonn, Preprint Series, 2004, 09, 1-34.
From a transfer formula in multivariate finite operator calculus, comes an expansion for the determinant similar to Ryser's formula for the permanent. Although this one contains many more terms than the usual determinant formula. To prove…
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…
Methods are described for the solution of linear inference problems subject to deterministic constraints. The approach builds on work by Backus (1970a,b,c) and Parker (1977), but a range useful advances are suggested to address both…
The purpose of [1] was as follows. ?We consider special sets of continuants which occur in applications. For these sets we solve the problem of finding maximal and minimal continuants. There are several methods for finding extremum such as…
Approximation techniques have been historically important for solving differential equations, both as initial value problems and boundary value problems. The integration of numerical, analytic and perturbation methods and techniques can…
