In an earlier paper, which this note is intended to supplement and in some respects improve, the writer gave a general theorem of duality relating to isobaric determinants with elements Cr and Hr, the elementary and the complete homogeneous symmetric functions of a set of variables. The result was shewn to include as special cases the dual forms of “bi-alternant” symmetric functions given by Jacobi and Naegelsbach, as well as two equivalent forms of isobaric determinant used by MacMahon as a generating function in an important problem of permutations.
