We continue the study of real polynomials acting entrywise on matrices of fixed dimension to preserve positive semidefiniteness, together with the related analysis of order properties of Schur polynomials. Previous work has shown that,…

Calculating the permanent of a (0,1) matrix is a #P-complete problem but there are some classes of structured matrices for which the permanent is calculable in polynomial time. The most well-known example is the fixed-jump (0,1) circulant…
We study polynomials with no zeros on the unit ball in complex Euclidean space with a view toward characterizing when a rational function is bounded on the ball. We give a complete local description of such polynomials in two variables near…
The phase diagram of the O(n) model, in particular the special case $n=0$, is studied by means of transfer-matrix calculations on the loop representation of the O(n) model. The model is defined on the square lattice; the loops are allowed…
We rigorously examine 2d-square lattices composed of classical spins isotropically coupled between first-nearest neighbours. A general expression of the characteristic polynomial associated with the zero-field partition function Zinf{N}(0)…

The transfer-matrix of the U(1) lattice model is considered in the Fourier basis and in the weak coupling limit. The issues of Gauss law constraint and gauge invariant states are addressed in the Fourier basis. In particular, it is shown…

A family of periodic perturbations of an attracting robust heteroclinic cycle defined on the two-sphere is studied by reducing the analysis to that of a one-parameter family of maps on a circle. The set of zeros of the family forms a…
