Similar to the recent results on the Hankel determinants for the $q$-Bernoulli numbers established by Chapoton and Zeng, we determine parallel evaluations for the $q$-Euler numbers. It is shown that the associated Favard-type orthogonal polynomials for $q$-Euler numbers are given by a specialization of the big $q$-Jacobi polynomials, thereby leading to their corresponding Jacobi continued fraction expression, which eventually serves as a key to our determinant evaluations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-05-11T07:42:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11B68", "11C20", "30B70", "33D45" ], "keywords": [ "euler numbers", "hankel determinants", "determine parallel evaluations", "corresponding jacobi continued fraction expression", "associated favard-type orthogonal polynomials" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
