R. Redheer described an nn matrix of 0’s and 1’s the size of whose determinant is connected to the Riemann Hypothesis. We describe the permutations that contribute to its determinant and its permanent in terms of integer factorizations. We generalize the Redheer matrix to nite posets that have a 0 element and nd the analogous results in the more general situation.

Symmetric matrices related to the Mertens function
Abstract In this paper, we explore a family of congruences over N ∗ from which one builds a sequence of symmetric matrices related to the Mertens function. From the results of numerical experiments,Expand

Abstract Redheffer introduced a sparse ( 0 , 1 ) matrix whose determinant provides an unorthodox representation of the Mertens function. The growth of the Mertens function is intimately tied to theExpand

By a suitable shifting-the-mean parametrization at the Dirichlet series level and Delange's Tauberian theorems, we show that the number of factors in random ordered factorizations of integers isExpand
Matrices related to Dirichlet series
We attach a certain n×n matrix An to the Dirichlet series L(s)=∑k=1∞akk−s. We study the determinant, characteristic polynomial, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors of these matrices. The determinant of AnExpand

In this paper, we define the Redheffer numbers and then we obtain their miscellaneous properties. Also, we study the Redheffer numbers modulo m. Furthermore, we define the Redheffer orbits and theExpand
Bordered Hermitian matrices and sums of the Möbius function
Abstract Matrices in R n × n with determinant equal to ∑ i ≤ n μ ( i ) , where μ represents the Mobius function, have been studied for decades. The motivation to study such matrices is the closeExpand
Equivalence classes of permutations avoiding a pattern
Given a permutation pattern p and an equivalence relation on permutations, we study the corresponding equivalence classes all of whose members avoid p. Four relations are studied: Conjugacy, orderExpand
