Hankel matrix
In linear algebra, a Hankel matrix (or catalecticant matrix), named after Hermann Hankel, is a square matrix in which each ascending skew-diagonal from left to right is constant, e.g.:
Any n×n matrix A of the form
is a Hankel matrix. If the i,j element of A is denoted Ai,j, then we have
The Hankel matrix is closely related to the Toeplitz matrix (a Hankel matrix is an upside-down Toeplitz matrix). For a special case of this matrix see Hilbert matrix.
A Hankel operator on a Hilbert space is one whose matrix with respect to an orthonormal basis is a (possibly infinite) Hankel matrix , where depends only on .
The determinant of a Hankel matrix is called a catalecticant.

Hankel transform
The Hankel transform is the name sometimes given to the transformation of a sequence, where the transformed sequence corresponds to the determinant of the Hankel matrix. That is, the sequence is the Hankel transform of the sequence when
Here, is the Hankel matrix of the sequence . The Hankel transform is invariant under the binomial transform of a sequence. That is, if one writes
as the binomial transform of the sequence , then one has
Hankel matrices for system identification
Hankel matrices are formed when, given a sequence of output data, a realization of an underlying state-space or hidden Markov model is desired. The singular value decomposition of the Hankel matrix provides a means of computing the A, B, and C matrices which define the state-space realization.
