On the Limit of Some Toeplitz-Like Determinants

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this article we derive, using standard methods of Toeplitz theory, an asymptotic formula for certain large minors of Toeplitz matrices. D. Bump and P. Diaconis obtained the same asymptotics using representation theory, with an answer having a different form.


Let \(M_{m+n}=\left(c_{p_i-q_j}\right)_{i,j=0,1,\dots, m+n-1}\) be the Toeplitz-like matrices such that \(p_i\sim\;i, q_i\sim\;i\) for sufficiently large \(i\), and let \(T_n (\varphi)\) be the \(n\times n\) Toeplitz matrix \(\left(c_{i-j}\right)_{i,j=0,1,\dots, n-1}\). Supposing that \(T_n (\varphi)\) is invertible, so that the symbol \(\varphi\) admits the factorization \(\varphi=\varphi^- \varphi^+\), they prove the formula \[ \lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{\det M_{m+n}}{\det T_n (\varphi)}=\det \left(\sum_{k=1}^\infty (\varphi^-)_{p_i+k-m} (\varphi^+)_{-q_j-k+m}\right)_{i,j=0,1,\dots,m-1} \tag{1} \] where \((\varphi^\pm)_{k}\) are the Fourier coefficients of \(\varphi^\pm\). Theorem: If \(T_n (\varphi)\) are uniformly invertible then (1) holds.
