In the process we also determine the corresponding Jacobi continued fractions (or J-fractions) and Hankel determinants. In all these cases the Hankel determinants are polynomials in $x$ which factor completely over the rationals.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-06-26T23:03:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11B68", "33D45", "11C20", "30B70" ], "keywords": [ "hankel determinants", "euler polynomials", "orthogonal polynomials", "odd-index bernoulli polynomials", "polygamma functions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
