Hankel determinants of Catalan-like sequences
Shane Chern, Wenle Shi
Source abstract
In this paper, we compute the (shifted) Hankel determinants of Catalan-like sequences, which arise naturally from the weighted enumerations of nonintersecting Motzkin meanders. Among these determinant evaluations, one and a half are newly discovered, featuring generic shifted Hankel determinants; two were formulated earlier by Cigler and Krattenthaler in an equivalent combinatorial form; and the rest were conjectured by Cigler. As an application, we further confirm a conjectural binomial determinant identity proposed by Cigler and Krattenthaler.
