proof of generalized Ruiz’s identity
Theorem.
Consider the polynomials . Then, for every positive natural number ,
Proof.
Consider the matrices defined by and .
Therefore, by Ruiz’s identity, for every and for every such that . Thismeans that is an upper triangular matrix
whose main diagonal is . Since the determinant
of such a matrix isthe product of the elements in the main diagonal, we get that . It is easy to see that itself is lowertriangular with determinant . Therefore .∎
