Abstract
In this paper we study some determinants and permanents. In particular, we investigate the new type determinants $$\det[(i^2+cij+dj^2)^{p-2}]_{1\le i,j\le p-1}\ \text{and} \ \det[(i^2+cij+dj^2)^{p-2}]_{0\le i,j\le p-1}$$ modulo an odd prime $p$, where $c$ and $d$ are integers. We also pose some conjectures for further research.
