An interesting class of Hankel determinants

Abstract

For small rr the Hankel determinants dr(n)d_r(n) of the sequence ((2n+rn))n0\left({2n+r\choose n}\right)_{n\ge 0} are easy to guess and show an interesting modular pattern. For arbitrary rr and nn no closed formulae are known, but for each positive integer rr the special values dr(rn)d_r(rn), dr(rn+1)d_r(rn+1), and dr(rn+r+12)d_r(rn+\lfloor\frac{r+1}{2}\rfloor) have nice values which will be proved in this paper.
