Abstract
In this paper, we derive some relationships between the determinants of some special lower Hessenberg matrices whose entries are the terms of certain sequences and the generating functions of these sequences. Moreover, our results are generalizations of the earlier results from previous researches. Furthermore, interesting examples of the determinants of some special lower Hessenberg matrices are presented.
1 Introduction
Hessenberg matrices play an important role in both computational and applied mathematics (see [1,2,3, 4,5]). For examples, Hessenberg matrix decomposition is the important key of computing the eigenvalue matrix [4] and the rule of the Hessenberg matrix for computing the determinant of general centrosymmetric matrix [5].

Ramirez [9] derived some relations between the generalized Fibonacci-Narayana sequences, and permanents and determinants of one type of upper Hessenberg matrix.
In 2017, Kılıç and Arıkan [10] obtained the relationships between determinants of three classes of Hessenberg matrices whose entries are terms of certain sequences, and the generating functions of these sequences.
In this paper, we use the generating function method to determine the relationships between determinants of some special lower Hessenberg matrices whose entries are terms of certain sequences, and generating functions of these sequences. Moreover, we also find interesting examples of determinants of such lower Hesseberg matrices.
