The Hankel Determinant of Exponential Polynomials

نویسنده

  • Richard Ehrenborg
چکیده

The purpose of this note is two-fold. First we present evaluations of Hankel determinants of sequences of combinatorial interest related to partitions and permutations. Many such computations have been carried out by Radoux in his sequence of papers [2]–[5]. His proof methods include using a functional identity due to Sylvester and factoring the Hankel matrix. Second, unlike Radoux, we instead give bijective proofs to reveal the underlying structure of these identities.

Hankel Determinants of Some Sequences of Polynomials

Ehrenborg gave a combinatorial proof of Radoux’s theorem which states that the determinant of the (n + 1)× (n + 1) dimensional Hankel matrix of exponential polynomials is x ∏n i=0 i!. This proof also shows the result that the (n + 1) × (n + 1) Hankel matrix of factorial numbers is ∏n k=1(k!) . We observe that two polynomial generalizations of factorial numbers also have interesting determinant ...

Bessel Polynomials and the Partial Sums of the Exponential Series

Let e k (x) denote the k-th partial sum of the Maclaurin series for the exponential function. Define the (n + 1) × (n + 1) Hankel determinant by setting Hn(x) = det[e i+j (x)] 0≤i,j≤n. We give a closed form evaluation of this determinant in terms of the Bessel polynomials using the method of recently introduced γ-operators.

Combinatorial Polynomials as Moments, Hankel Transforms, and Exponential Riordan Arrays

In the case of two combinatorial polynomials, we show that they can exhibited as moments of paramaterized families of orthogonal polynomials, and hence derive their Hankel transforms. Exponential Riordan arrays are the main vehicles used for this.

Some Aspects of Hankel Matrices in Coding Theory and Combinatorics

Hankel matrices consisting of Catalan numbers have been analyzed by various authors. DesainteCatherine and Viennot found their determinant to be ∏ 1≤i≤j≤k i+j+2n i+j and related them to the Bender Knuth conjecture. The similar determinant formula ∏ 1≤i≤j≤k i+j−1+2n i+j−1 can be shown to hold for Hankel matrices whose entries are successive middle binomial coefficients (2m+1 m ) . Generalizing t...
