On vector Hankel determinants (Q1579517): Difference between revisions

Recently a definition of Hankel determinants \(H^n_k\) with entries in a finite-dimensional real vector space was given in terms of designants and Clifford algebra. Sylvester's identity can still be used for computing these determinants recursively, but the aim of this paper is to present a more efficient method avoiding the use of the Clifford algebra structure. The author also expresses \(H^n_k\) in terms of classical determinants and gives some new determinantal identities.
