Abstract:
      Suppose that x is a complex number and i is a non negative integer. Define Ni-(x)=|x|i if i is even and Ni-(x)=x|x|i-1 if i is odd. Let Vn-(x1,...,xn) denote the n× n matrix whose (i,j) th entry is Ni-1-(xj) . This paper presents a computation formula for det Vn-(x1,...,xn) , which can be considered as a generalized that of Vandermonde determinant, and some its important theoretical applications.
