Extract

(1) The persymmetric determinant of the nth order

being such that in every case the element in the place r, s is the same as the element in the place r − 1, s + 1, and therefore having only 2n − 1 independent elements, viz., the elements a1, a2, …., a2n−1 forming the first row and last column, is conveniently denoted by

As it is a special form of axisymmetric determinant, any known relation between minors of the latter must of course hold in regard to the corresponding minors of the former.

page 525 note * As I have already pointed out elsewhere (Proc. Roy. Soc. Edin., xxiii. p. 147), it is not necessary for the truth of only one of these identities that the whole of be axisymmetric, but merely a minor of it. For example, the first of the two here given, which manifestly may be written

holds if be axisymmetric. This explains the insertion of the theorem of § 17, which is really Kronecker's in an amended form.
