ASYMMETRIC GENERALIZATIONS OF THE FILBERT MATRIX AND VARIANTS


Emrah Kılıç, Helmut Prodinger




Four generalizations of the Filbert matrix are considered, with additional asymmetric parameter settings. Explicit formule are derived for the LU-decompositions, their inverses, and the inverse matrix. The approach is mainly to use the $q$-analysis and to leave the justification of the necessary identities to the $q$-version of Zeilberger's algorithm for some of them, and for the rest of the necessary identities, to guess the relevant quantities and proving them later by induction.
