6It is known (for example, see Krattenthaler [?]) that <strong>the</strong> <strong>Hankel</strong> determinant h n<strong>of</strong> order n <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sequence {a n } n≥0 equalswhere {β n } n≥1 is <strong>the</strong> sequence given by:h n = a n 0β n−11 β n−22 · · · β 2 n−2β n−1 , (19)∞∑G(x) = a n x n a 0=βn=01 x 21 + α 0 x −β1 + α 1 x − 2 x 21 + α 2 x − · · ·(20)<strong>The</strong> sequences {α n } n≥0 and {β n } n≥1 are <strong>the</strong> coefficients in <strong>the</strong> recurrence relationQ n+1 (x) = (x − α n )Q n (x) − β n Q n−1 (x), (21)where {Q n (x)} n≥0 is <strong>the</strong> monic polynomial sequence orthogonal with respect to <strong>the</strong>functional L determined byL[x n ] = a n (n = 0, 1, 2, . . .). (22)In <strong>the</strong> next section this functional will be constructed for <strong>the</strong> sum <strong>of</strong> consecutivegeneralized Catalan numbers.3. <strong>The</strong> weight function corresponding to <strong>the</strong> functionalWe would like to express L[f] in <strong>the</strong> form:∫L[f(x)] = f(x)dψ(x),Rwhere ψ(x) is a distribution, or, even more, to find <strong>the</strong> weight function w(x) suchthat w(x) = ψ ′ (x).Denote by F (z; L) <strong>the</strong> functionF (z; L) =∞∑a k z −k−1 .k=0From <strong>the</strong> generating function (??), we have:Example 3.1. From (??), we have:F (z; 1) = z −1 G ( z −1 ; 1) = 1 2F (z; L) = z −1 G ( z −1 ; L). (23){z − 1 − (z + 1)√1 − 4 z}.
