Abstract

The concepts of Vandermonde determinant and confluent Vandermonde determinant are extended to the multidimensional setting by relating them to multivariate interpolation problems. With an approach different from that of other recent papers on this subject, the values of these determinants are computed, recovering and extending the results of those papers.
