Weighted Vandermonde determinant ($\det [\sqrt{w(x_i)}{p}_{j-1}(x_i)]$)

For a nonnegative weight $w$ and monic polynomials $p_j$ of degree $j$, this determinant is ${\prod }_i\sqrt{w(x_i)}{\prod }_{i<j}(x_j-x_i)$. Its square is the product of the weights times the squared Vandermonde determinant. For normalized weighted polynomials it differs by the product of their norm factors.
