The aim of this paper is to study the product of $n$ linear forms over function fields. We calculate the maximum value of the minima of the forms with determinant one when $n$ is small. The value is equal to the natural bound given by…

For any $\Lambda>0$, let $\mathcal{M}_{n,\Lambda}$ denote the space containing all locally Lipschitz minimal graphs of dimension $n$ and of arbitrary codimension $m$ in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+m}$ with uniformly bounded 2-dilation…

Let $n$ be a natural number. Recall that a C*-algebra is said to be $n$-subhomogeneous if all its irreducible representations have dimension at most $n$. In this short note, we give various approximation properties characterising…

Let $\|x\|$ denote the distance from $x\in\mathbb{R}$ to the nearest integer. In this paper, we prove an existence and density statement for matrices $\boldsymbol{A}\in\mathbb{R}^{m\times n}$ satisfying…

A {\it sign pattern matrix} is a matrix whose entries are from the set $\{+,-, 0\}$. The minimum rank of a sign pattern matrix $A$ is the minimum of the ranks of the real matrices whose entries have signs equal to the corresponding entries…

We derive a lower bound on the smallest singular value of a random $d$-regular matrix, that is, the adjacency matrix of a random $d$-regular directed graph. More precisely, let $C_1<d< c_1 n/\log^2 n$ and let $\mathcal{M}_{n,d}$ be the set…

Let $(\mathcal{H}, [\cdot, \cdot ])$ be a Hilbert space and $K(\mathcal{H})$ be the $C^*$-algebra of compact operators on $\mathcal{H}$. In this paper, we present some characterizations of the norm-parallelism for elements of a Hilbert…

We discuss two distinct minimality principles for general supremal first order functionals for maps and characterise them through solvability of associated second order PDE systems. Specifically, we consider Aronsson's standard notion of…

Let $C$ be a convex body and let $S$ be a nondegenerate simplex in ${\mathbb R}^n$. Denote by $\xi(C;S)$ the minimal $\tau>0$ such that $C$ is a subset of the simplex $\tau S$. By $\alpha(C;S)$ we mean the minimal $\tau>0$ such that $C$ is…

A zero-one matrix is a matrix with entries from $\{0, 1\}$. We study monoids containing only such matrices. A finite set of zero-one matrices generating such a monoid can be seen as the matrix representation of an unambiguous finite…

Many proofs of the fundamental theorem of algebra rely on the fact that the minimum of the modulus of a complex polynomial over the complex plane is attained at some complex number. The proof then follows by arguing the minimum value is…

We introduce a family of norms on the $n \times n$ complex matrices. These norms arise from a probabilistic framework, and their construction and validation involve probability theory, partition combinatorics, and trace polynomials in…

The normality measure $\mathcal{N}$ has been introduced by Mauduit and S{\'a}rk{\"o}zy in order to describe the pseudorandomness properties of finite binary sequences. Alon, Kohayakawa, Mauduit, Moreira and R{\"o}dl proved that the minimal…

Let $X$ be a finite-dimensional normed space and let $Y \subseteq X$ be its proper linear subspace. The set of all minimal projections from $X$ to $Y$ is a convex subset of the space all linear operators from $X$ to $X$ and we can consider…

We give some necessary conditions for maximality of $0/1$-determinant. Let ${\bf M}$ be a nondegenerate $0/1$-matrix of order $n$. Denote by $\bf A$ the matrix of order $n+1$ which appears from ${\bf M}$ after adding the $(n+1)$th row…

Let $A_i$ and $B_i$ be positive definite matrices for all $i=1,\cdots,m.$ It is shown that $$\left|\left|\sum_{i=1}^m(A_i^2\sharp…

Motivated by an influential result of Bourgain and Tzafriri, we consider continuous matrix functions $A:\mathbb{R}\to M_{n\times n}$ and lower $\ell_2$-norm bounds associated with their restriction to certain subspaces. We prove that for…

A system of linear equations is said underdetermined when there are more unknowns than equations. Such systems may have infinitely many solutions. In this case, it is important to single out solutions possessing special features. A well…

We prove explicit lower bounds for the smallest singular value and upper bounds for the condition number of rectangular, multivariate Vandermonde matrices with scattered nodes on the complex unit circle. Analogously to the Shannon-Nyquist…

We prove a stability version of a general result that bounds the permanent of a matrix in terms of its operator norm. More specifically, suppose $A$ is an $n \times n$ matrix over $\mathbb{C}$ (resp. $\mathbb{R}$), and let $\mathcal{P}$…
