Abstract. In the paper certain examples of applications of the matrix inverses for generating and calculating the integrals are presented.

The method of evaluating the integrals through use of the matrix inversion, presented here, was introduced by J.W. Rogers and then generalized by Matlak, Słota and Wituła. This method is still developed and one of its other possible applications is presented in this paper. This application concerns a new way of evaluating the integral sec 2n+1 x dx on the basis of the discussed method. Additionally, many other applications of the obtained original recursive formula for this type of integral are given here. Some of them are used to generate the interesting identities for inverses of the central binomial coefficients and the trigonometric limits. The historical view is also presented as well as the connections between the received and previously known identities.

Abstract. The aim of this paper is to discuss different types of decompositions and factorizations concerning a few families of symmetric polynomials in two variables including Ma polynomials, classic Cauchy polynomials, Ferrers-Jackson polynomials and some elementary polynomials as well. Application of the discussed decompositions and factorizations for determining the limits of quotients of the respective polynomials in two variables is presented here and some general theorems on these limits are also proven in this elaboration.
