Power series expansion of a Hankel determinant (Q2187382): Difference between revisions

The author provides a power series expansion for the Hankel determinant whose entries are the moments of a linear functional related to discrete semiclassical orthogonal polynomials. Explicit formulas that allow the computation of coefficients to arbitrary order are provided, as well as examples for the first few terms in the series. The findings can be seen in the context of Young tableaux and Schur functions. Closed-form expressions for the cases corresponding Charlier and Meixner polynomials are provided.
