Abstract

Sulanke and Xin developed a continued fraction method that applies to evaluate Hankel determinants corresponding to quadratic generating functions. We use their method to give short proofs of Cigler's Hankel determinant conjectures, which were proved recently by Chang–Hu–Zhang using direct determinant computation. We find that shifted periodic continued fractions arise in our computation. We also discover and prove some new nice Hankel determinants relating to lattice paths with step set {(1,1),(q,0),(ℓ−1,−1)} for integer parameters m,q,ℓ. Again shifted periodic continued fractions appear.
