Abstract
We show that recent determinant evaluations involving Catalan numbers and generalisations thereof have most convenient explanations by combining the Lindström–Gessel–Viennot theorem on non-intersecting lattice paths with a simple determinant lemma from Krattenthaler (1990). This approach leads also naturally to extensions and generalisations.
