Abstract
Let be the set of -compositions of an integer , i.e., the set of -tuples of nonnegative integers such that , and a vector of indeterminates. For and two -compositions of , define . In this paper we prove an explicit formula for the determinant . In the case the formula gives a proof of a conjecture by C.~Krattenthaler.
