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
