Abstract

This article provides a general technique for findingclosed formulas for the determinants of families of matrices whoseentries satisfy a three-term recurrence relation. The majorpurpose of this article is to generalize several publishedresults about evaluating determinants. We also present new proofsfor some known results due to Ch. Krattenthaler.
