Catalan determinants in search of a proof: Part II

This problem involves the Catalan numbers $C_n=\frac1{n+1}\binom{2n}n$. I can prove the below equality by computing each of the two sides, directly. That means, there is an algebraic proof. ...

Equal-valued determinants in search of a proof: Part III

Encouraged by David's proof for my earlier MO question, let's consider a similar problem. I can prove the below equality by computing each of the two sides, directly. That means, there is an ...

Some more binomial coefficient determinants

The setup is similar to this question, but generalizes the size of the Hankel matrix. We'll define $$d(n,k,r):=\det\left(\binom{2i+2j+k+r}{i+j}\right)_{i,j=0}^{kn-1}.$$ Edit: Thanks to Johann ...

Some binomial coefficient determinants

It is well known that for $n>0$ $$d(n)=\det\left(\binom{2i+2j+1}{i+j}\right)_{i,j=0}^{n-1}=1.$$ Computer experiments suggest that more generally $$d(n,k)=\det\left(\binom{2i+2j+2k+1}{i+j}\right)_{i,...
