The linear independence and linear elimination of non-crossing matching polynomials
Consider the polynomial set:
$$
f_{ij} = (t_i - t_j)x_i x_j + x_i - x_j, \quad (1 \leq j < i \leq 2n)
$$
where $ t_1, t_2, \dots, t_{2n} $ are pairwise distinct.
Let's look at the non-crossing ...

Yet, another generalization of Catalan determinants
The discussion on this page is motivated by Johann Cigler's MO question. My intention arose from a possible generalization of Cigler's matrix
$$A_{n,m}=\left( \binom{2m}{j-i+m}-\binom{2m}{m-i-j-1} \...

Kernel of a matrix and the Catalan numbers
Let $B_n$ denote the Boolean lattice of a set with $n \geq 2$ elements and $C_n$ the matrix with entries $c_{i,j}=1$ if $i \leq j$ and $c_{i,j}=0$ else, where $i,j\in B_n$.
Let $M_n:=C_n+C_n^T$ (this ...

Determinant of a checkerboard Hankel matrix with Catalan numbers
My goal is to compute
\begin{equation}
I = \det \left(\mathbf{I} + \mathbf{A}\right)
\end{equation}
where $\mathbf{A}$ is a $n \times n$ checkerboard matrix filled with Catalan numbers:
$$
