Vandermonde Matrix Identity for Cauchy Matrix/Examples/nxn

Example of Vandermonde Matrix Identity for Cauchy Matrix
The methods of the $3 \times 3$ example apply unchanged for the general $n \times n$ Cauchy matrix:

Assume values $\set {x_1, \ldots, x_n, y_1, \ldots, y_n}$ are distinct. Then:


 * $\map \det {\begin{smallmatrix}

\dfrac 1 {x_1 - y_1} & \dfrac 1 {x_1 - y_2} & \cdots & \dfrac 1 {x_1 - y_n} \\ \dfrac 1 {x_2 - y_1} & \dfrac 1 {x_2 - y_2} & \cdots & \dfrac 1 {x_2 - y_n} \\ \vdots & \vdots & \cdots & \vdots \\ \dfrac 1 {x_n - y_1} & \dfrac 1 {x_n - y_2} & \cdots & \dfrac 1 {x_n - y_n} \\ \end{smallmatrix} } = \paren {-1}^n \dfrac {\ds \prod_{1 \mathop \le j \mathop < i \mathop \le n} \paren {x_i - x_j} \quad \prod_{1 \mathop \le j \mathop < i \mathop \le n} \paren {y_i - y_j} } {\ds \prod_{i \mathop = 1}^n \prod_{j \mathop = 1}^n \paren {x_i - y_j} }$ Value of Cauchy Determinant

Assume values $\set {x_1, \ldots, x_n, -y_1, \ldots, -y_n}$ are distinct, then replace in the preceding equation $y_i$ by $-y_i$, $1 \le i \le n$:


 * $\map \det {\begin{smallmatrix}

\dfrac 1 {x_1 + y_1} & \dfrac 1 {x_1 + y_2} & \cdots & \dfrac 1 {x_1 + y_n} \\ \dfrac 1 {x_2 + y_1} & \dfrac 1 {x_2 + y_2} & \cdots & \dfrac 1 {x_2 + y_n} \\ \vdots & \vdots & \cdots & \vdots \\ \dfrac 1 {x_n + y_1} & \dfrac 1 {x_n + y_2} & \cdots & \dfrac 1 {x_n + y_n} \\ \end{smallmatrix} } = \paren {-1}^n \dfrac {\ds \prod_{1 \mathop \le j \mathop < i \mathop \le n} \paren {x_i - x_j} \quad \prod_{1 \mathop \le j \mathop < i \mathop \le n} \paren {y_j - y_i} } {\ds \prod_{i \mathop = 1}^n \prod_{j \mathop = 1}^n \paren {x_i + y_j} }$ Value of Cauchy Determinant
