چکیده
The purpose of this article is to prove several evaluations of determinants of matrices, the entries of which are given by the recurrence ai,j = ai−1,j−1+ai−1,j , i, j ≥ 2, with various choices for the first row a1,j and first column ai,1.

An Elliptic Determinant Transformation
Determinant evaluations play an important role in mathematics, perhaps most notably in combinatorics, see Krattenthaler’s surveys [K2] and [K3]. Many useful determinant evaluations are rational identities, which rises the question of finding generalizations to the elliptic level. In recent work with Schlosser [RS2], we gave an approach to elliptic determinant evaluations that encompasses most r...
متن کاملElliptic Determinant Evaluations and the Macdonald Identities for Affine Root Systems
Determinants play an important role in many areas of mathematics. Often, the solution of a particular problem in combinatorics, mathematical physics or, simply, linear algebra, depends on the explicit computation of a determinant. Some useful and efficient tools for evaluating determinants are provided in Krattenthaler’s survey articles [K2], [K3], which also contain many explicit determinant e...
متن کاملArchimedes’ calculations of square roots
We reconsider Archimedes’ evaluations of several square roots in ‘Measurement of a Circle’. We show that several methods proposed over the last century or so for his evaluations fail one or more criteria of plausibility. We also provide internal evidence that he probably used an interpolation technique. The conclusions are relevant to the precise calculations by which he obtained upper and lowe...
متن کاملQuantification of Uncertainties for Evaluated Neutron-Induced Reactions on Actinides in the Fast Energy Range
Covariance matrix evaluations in the fast energy range were performed for a large number of actinides, either using low-fidelity techniques or more sophisticated methods that rely on both experimental data as well as model calculations. The latter covariance evaluations included in the ENDF/B-VII.1 library are discussed for each actinide separately.
متن کاملNew Proofs of Determinant Evaluations Related to Plane Partitions
We give a new proof of a determinant evaluation due to Andrews, which has been used to enumerate cyclically symmetric and descending plane partitions. We also prove some related results, including a q-analogue of Andrews’s determinant.
