Abstract:
The main objective of the current article is to present a fast and reliable algorithm for evaluating $n$-th order $k$-tridiagonal determinants with Toeplitz structure. Additionally, a modified algorithm for evaluating the general $n$-th order $k$-tridiagonal determinants is proposed. Numerical tests and illustrative examples are also given.
