Let \(F\) be a field and \(X_1,\ldots,X_s\) indeterminates over \(F\). Let \(M\) be an \(m\times n\) matrix of linear forms in \(F[X_1,\ldots,X_s]\), where \(m\leq n\) and \(s\geq m+n-1\). A generalized row of \(M\) is a non-trivial \(F\)-linear combination of the rows of \(M\), while a generalized entry of \(M\) means a non-trivial \(F\)-linear combination of the entries of a generalized row of \(M\). Then \(M\) is called \(1\)-generic if every generalized entry is non-zero. It is known that the determinantal ideals generated by the maximal minors of \(1\)-generic matrices are prime. However, determinantal ideals generated by non-maximal minors are often non-prime. Generic, symmetric generic and Hankel matrices are all 1-generic. Let \(F\) be a field, \(2\leq m\leq n\) integers, and \(X_{1},X_{2},\dots,X_{m+n-1}\) indeterminates over \(F\). A generalized Hankel matrix is an \(m\times n\) matrix \(M=(a_{ij})\) such that \(a_{ij}=r_{i,i+j-1}X_{i+j-1}\) where \(r_{i,i+j-1}\) are units in \(F\). The usual Hankel matrices have all coefficients \(r_{i,i+j-1}\) equal to 1. Generalized Hankel matrices are also 1-generic. The generalized Hankel matrices are examples of 1-generic matrices whose ideals of non-maximal minors might not be prime. In this paper the authors analyze the structure of generalized Hankel matrices with \(m\geq 3\). They determine the minimal primary decomposition of the ideals \(I_{2}(M)\), generated by the \(2\times 2\) minors of such matrices. If \(I_{2}(M)\) is not prime, it has exactly two minimal components. In this case, the authors define two integers associated to \(M\). Depending on these two integers, \(I_{2}(M)\) also has one embedded component. The authors obtain the primary decomposition explicitly. Then they use the previous results in order to describe the set of the associated primes of the Jacobian ideal generated by the first partial derivatives of a diagonal non-degenerated trilinear forms of boundary format.
