In this text we study the regularity of matrices with special polynomial entries. Barring some mild conditions we show that these matrices are regular if a natural limit size is not exceeded. The proof draws connections to generalized…
This paper considers a restriction to non-negative matrix factorization in which at least one matrix factor is stochastic. That is, the elements of the matrix factors are non-negative and the columns of one matrix factor sum to 1. This…
In alternating sign matrices the first and last nonzero entry in each row and column is specified to be +1. Such matrices always exist. We investigate a generalization by specifying independently the sign of the first and last nonzero entry…
A finite or infinite matrix A with rational entries is called partition regular if whenever the natural numbers are finitely coloured there is a monochromatic vector x with Ax=0. Many of the classical theorems of Ramsey Theory may naturally…
The combined matrix is a very useful concept for many applications. Almost strictly sign regular (ASSR) matrices form an important structured class of matrices with two possible zero patterns, which are either type-I staircase or type-II…
We study {\em sign-restricted matrices} (SRMs), a class of rectangular $(0, \pm 1)$-matrices generalizing the alternating sign matrices (ASMs). In an SRM each partial column sum, starting from row 1, equals 0 or 1, and each partial row sum,…
Let $\Omega_n$ denote the class of $n \times n$ doubly stochastic matrices (each such matrix is entrywise nonnegative and every row and column sum is 1). We study the diagonals of matrices in $\Omega_n$. The main question is: which $A \in…
We derive a sufficient condition for a sparse random matrix with given numbers of non-zero entries in the rows and columns having full row rank. The result covers both matrices over finite fields with independent non-zero entries and…
For a stationary sequence that is regularly varying and associated we give conditions which guarantee that partial sums of this sequence, under normalization related to the exponent of regular variation, converge in distribution to a…
Motivated by the popularity of stochastic rounding in the context of machine learning and the training of large-scale deep neural network models, we consider stochastic nearness rounding of real matrices $\mathbf{A}$ with many more rows…
A matrix is apportionable if it is similar to a matrix whose entries have equal moduli. This paper shows that all nilpotent matrices and all matrices with rank at most half their order are apportionable. General results are established and…
The iterative method of Sinkhorn allows, starting from an arbitrary real matrix with non-negative entries, to find a so-called 'scaled matrix' which is doubly stochastic, i.e. a matrix with all entries in the interval (0, 1) and with all…
In this paper I provide simple and easily verifiable conditions under which a strong form of stochastic equicontinuity holds in a wide variety of modern time series models. In contrast to most results currently available in the literature,…
In this note, we show that the limiting spectral distribution of symmetric random matrices with stationary entries is absolutely continuous under some sufficient conditions. This result is applied to obtain sufficient conditions on a…
Szemer\'edi's Regularity Lemma is an important tool for analyzing the structure of dense graphs. There are versions of the Regularity Lemma for sparse graphs, but these only apply when the graph satisfies some local density condition. In…
In this paper, the exact values of the structured singular values of some generalized stochastic complex matrices is explicit in term of the constant row (column) sum.
The condition number of a diagonally scaled matrix, for appropriately chosen scaling matrices, is often less than that of the original. Equilibration scales a matrix so that the scaled matrix's row and column norms are equal. Scaling can be…
Let $M$ be a random matrix in the orthogonal group $\O_n$, distributed according to Haar measure, and let $A$ be a fixed $n\times n$ matrix over $\R$ such that $\tr(AA^t)=n$. Then the total variation distance of the random variable…
We study the differential structure of the set of real logarithms of a non-singular real matrix, under the assumption that the matrix is either semi-simple or orthogonal.
A square matrix is called stochastic (or row-stochastic) if it is non-negative and has each row sum equal to unity. Here, we constitute an eigenvalue localization theorem for a stochastic matrix, by using its principal submatrices. As an…
