In this paper, we study the Hankel determinant generated by a singularly perturbed Gaussian weight $$ w(x,t)=\mathrm{e}^{-x^{2}-\frac{t}{x^{2}}},\;\;x\in(-\infty, \infty),\;\;t>0. $$ By using the ladder operator approach associated with the…

We study the Hankel determinant and orthogonal polynomials with respect to the two-parameter weight function $$ w(x)=w(x;t_1, t_2):=\exp(-x^6-t_2 x^4-t_1 x^2),\qquad x\in\mathbb{R}, $$ with $t_1,\; t_2 \in \mathbb{R}$. This problem arises…

In this paper, we show how general determinants may be viewed as generating functions of nonintersecting lattice paths, using the Lindstr\"om-Gessel-Viennot interpretation of semistandard Young tableaux and the Jacobi-Trudi identity…

Martin Aigner introduced Catalan-like numbers as elements of the first column of admissible matrices and studied Hankel determinants of their forward shifts. In this paper we collect some properties of the Hankel determinants of the other…

We study Helson matrices (also known as multiplicative Hankel matrices), i.e. infinite matrices of the form $M(\alpha) = \{\alpha(nm)\}_{n,m=1}^\infty$, where $\alpha$ is a sequence of complex numbers. Helson matrices are considered as…

Given two relatively prime positive integers $\alpha$ and $\beta$, we consider simple lattice paths (with unit East and unit North steps) from $(0,0)$ to $(\alpha k,\beta k)$, and enumerate them by their left and right bounces with respect…

We compute the asymptotics of the determinants of certain $n\times n$ Toeplitz + Hankel matrices $T_n(a)+H_n(b)$ as $n\to\infty$ with symbols of Fisher-Hartwig type. More specifically we consider the case where $a$ has zeros and poles and…

We study $n\times n$ Hankel determinants constructed with moments of a Hermite weight with a Fisher-Hartwig singularity on the real line. We consider the case when the singularity is in the bulk and is both of root-type and jump-type. We…

Consider an $m\times n$ table $T$ and latices paths $\nu_1,\ldots,\nu_k$ in $T$ such that each step $\nu_{i+1}-\nu_i=(1,1)$, $(1,0)$ or $(1,-1)$. The number of paths from the $(1,i)$-blank (resp. first column) to the $(s,t)$-blank is…

For the first two equations of the Volterra lattice hierarchy and the first two equations of its non-autonomous (non-isospectral) extension, we present Riccati systems for functions c_j(t), j=0,1,..., such that an expression in terms of…

For lattice paths in strips which begin at $(0,0)$ and have only up steps $U: (i,j) \rightarrow (i+1,j+1)$ and down steps $D: (i,j)\rightarrow (i+1,j-1)$, let $A_{n,k}$ denote the set of paths of length $n$ which start at $(0,0)$, end on…

We work with lattice walks in $\mathbb{Z}^{r+1}$ using step set $\{\pm 1\}^{r+1}$ that finish with $x_{r+1} = 0$. We further impose conditions of avoiding backtracking (i.e. $[v,-v]$) and avoiding consecutive steps (i.e. $[v,v]$) each…

It is well known that the set of $m$-Dyck paths with a fixed height and a fixed amount of valleys is counted by the Fu{\ss}-Narayana numbers. In this article, we consider the set of $m$-Dyck paths that start with at least $t$ north steps.…

In this note, we study the asymptotics of the determinant $\det(I_N - \beta H_N)$ for $N$ large, where $H_N$ is the $N\times N$ restriction of a Hankel matrix $H$ with finitely many jump discontinuities in its symbol satisfying $\|H\|\leq…

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…
