Abstract: A square matrix is called {it Hessenberg} whenever each entry below the subdiagonal is zero and each entry on the subdiagonal is nonzero. Let $V$ denote a nonzero finite-dimensional vector space over a field $fld$. We consider an ordered pair of linear transformations $A:VightarrowV$ and $A^{\ast }:VightarrowV$ which satisfy both (i), (ii) below. (i) There exists a basis for $V$ with respect to which the matrix representing $A$ is Hessenberg and the matrix representing $A^{\ast }$ is diagonal. (ii) There exists a basis for $V$ with respect to which the matrix representing $A$ is diagonal and the matrix representing $A^{\ast }$ is Hessenberg. oindent We call such a pair a {it thin Hessenberg pair} (or {it TH pair}). By the {it diameter} of the pair we mean the dimension of $V$ minus one. There is an "oriented" version of a TH pair called a TH system. In this paper we investigate a connection between TH systems and double Vandermonde matrices. We give a bijection between any two of the following three sets: cdot The set of isomorphism classes of TH systems over $K$ of diameter $d$. cdot The set of normalized west-south Vandermonde systems in $Mdf$. cdot The set of parameter arrays over $K$ of diameter $d$. We give a bijection between any two of the following five sets: cdot The set of affine isomorphism classes of TH systems over $K$ of diameter $d$. cdot The set of isomorphism classes of RTH systems over $K$ of diameter $d$. cdot The set of affine classes of normalized west-south Vandermonde systems in $Mdf$. cdot The set of normalized west-south Vandermonde matrices in $Mdf$. cdot The set of reduced parameter arrays over $K$ of diameter $d$.
