The purpose of this article is to obtain some new infinite families of Toeplitz matrices, 7-matrices and generalized Pascal triangles whose leading principal minors form the Fibonacci, Lucas, Pell and Jacobsthal sequences. We also present a new proof for Theorem 3.1 in [R. Bacher. Determinants of matrices related to the Pascal triangle. J. Théor. Nombres Bordeaux, 14:19–41, 2002.].

This paper presents a new robust estimation scheme for signal processing problems. The empirical likelihood is a recent semi-parametric estimation method [1] which allows to estimate unknown parameters and to build confidence areas without using a prior model for the PDF: this method uses only information contained in the observed data when we have no prior distribution on the problem. However,...

Abstract The rise in inequality in the last two decades has affected most developed economies. The systemic nature of this inequality is the focus of this paper. A combination of product market internationalization, financial globalization and technological changes favoring large organizations created asymmetric pressure on the two ends of the distribution of market incomes, resulting in greatl...
