Perturbed Hankel determinants

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this short note, we compute, for large n the determinant of a class of n x n Hankel matrices, which arise from a smooth perturbation of the Jacobi weight. For this purpose, we employ the same idea used in previous papers, where the unknown determinant, D_n[w_{alpha,�eta}h] is compared with the known determinant D_n[w_{alpha,�eta}]. Here w_{alpha,�eta} is the Jacobi weight and w_{alpha,�eta}h, where h=h(x),xin[-1,1] is strictly positive and real analytic, is the smooth perturbation on the Jacobi weight w_{alpha,�eta}(x):=(1-x)^alpha (1+x)^�eta. Applying a previously known formula on the distribution function of linear statistics, we compute the large n asymptotics of D_n[w_{alpha,�eta}h] and supply a missing constant of the expansion.
