چکیده
Interpolation theory suggests a generalization of the usual Vandermonde determinant to numbers with multiplicities. We prove a discriminant formula for this generalized Vandermonde determinant and give an application to the Hermite interpolation problem.

A partial order on partitions and the generalized Vandermonde determinant
We introduce a partial order on partitions which permits an inductive proof on partitions. As an example of this technique, we reprove the discriminant formula for the generalized Vandermonde determinant. 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
متن کاملELLIPTIC INTEGRABLE SYSTEMS Generalizations of Cauchy’s Determinant Identity and Schur’s Pfaffian Identity
Abstract We review several determinant and Pfaffian identities, which generalize the evaluation formulae of Cauchy’s determinant det (1/(xi + yj)) and Schur’s Pfaffian Pf ((xj − xi)/(xj + xi)). As a multi-variable generalization, we consider Cauchytype determinants and Schur-type Pfaffians of matrices with entries involving some generalized Vandermonde determinants. Also we give an elliptic gen...
متن کاملTropicalization and Irreducibility of Generalized Vandermonde Determinants
We find geometric and arithmetic conditions in order to characterize the irreducibility of the determinant of the generic Vandermonde matrix over the algebraic closure of any field k. We also characterize those determinants whose tropicalization with respect to the variables of a row is irreducible.
متن کاملGeneralized Vandermonde Determinants over the Chebyshev Basis
It is a well known fact that the generalized Vandermonde determinant can be expressed as the product of the standard Vandermonde determinant and a polynomial with nonnegative integer coefficients. In this paper we generalize this result to Vandermonde determinants over the Chebyshev basis. We apply this result to prove that the number of real roots in [1;1] of a real polynomial is bounded by th...
متن کاملGeneralizations of Cauchy’s Determinant and Schur’s Pfaffian
We present several generalizations of Cauchy’s determinant det (1/(xi + yj)) and Schur’s Pfaffian Pf ((xj − xi)/(xj + xi)) by considering matrices whose entries involve some generalized Vandermonde determinants. Special cases of our formulae include previous formulae due to S. Okada and T. Sundquist. As an application, we give a relation for the Littlewood– Richardson coefficients involving a r...
