Solution: 2012-24 Determinant of a Huge Matrix

Consider all non-empty subsets \(S_1,S_2,\ldots,S_{2^n-1}\) of \(\{1,2,3,\ldots,n\}\). Let \(A=(a_{ij})\) be a \((2^n-1)\times(2^n-1)\) matrix such that \[a_{ij}=\begin{cases}1 & \text{if }S_i\cap S_j\ne \emptyset,\\0&\text{otherwise.}\end{cases}\] What is \(\lvert\det A\rvert\)?

Solution: 2012-23 A solution

Prove that for each positive integer \(n\), there exist \(n\) real numbers \(x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n\) such that \[\sum_{j=1}^n \frac{x_j}{1-4(i-j)^2}=1 \text{ for all }i=1,2,\ldots,n\] and \[\sum_{j=1}^n x_j=\binom{n+1}{2}.\]
