On certain multivariate Vandermonde determinants whose variables separate. (English) Zbl 1303.15008

Summary: We prove that for almost square tensor product grids and certain sets of bivariate polynomials the Vandermonde determinant can be factored into a product of univariate Vandermonde determinants. This result generalizes the conjecture [L. Bos, S. De Marchi and S. Waldron, “On the Vandermonde determinant of padua-like points”, Dolomites Res. Notes Approx. 2, 1–15 (2009), http://journals.padovauniversitypress.it/dolomites/volumes/Volume-2]. As a special case, we apply the result to Padua and Padua-like points.
