In this paper we consider pentadiagonal (n + 1) × (n + 1) matrices with two subdiagonals and two superdiagonals at distances k and 2k from the main diagonal where 1 ≤ k < 2k ≤ n. We give an explicit formula for their determinants and also consider the Toeplitz and "imperfect" Toeplitz versions of such matrices. Imperfectness means that the first and last k elements of the main diagonal differ from the elements in the middle. Using the rearrangement due to Egerváry and Szász we also show how these determinants can be factorized.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
