For a prime power $q$, we study the distribution of determinent of matrices with restricted entries over a finite field $\mathbbm{F}_q$ of $q$ elements. More precisely, let $N_d (\mathcal{A}; t)$ be the number of $d \times d$ matrices with…

We show that near a point where the equilibrium density of eigenvalues of a matrix model behaves like y ~ x^{p/q}, the correlation functions of a random matrix, are, to leading order in the appropriate scaling, given by determinants of the…

We establish a family of inequalities that allow one to estimate the $\mathrm{L}^{q}$-norm of a matrix-valued field by the $\mathrm{L}^{q}$-norm of an elliptic part and the $\mathrm{L}^{p}$-norm of the matrix-valued curl. This particularly…

For $m,n\in\mathbb{N}$ let $X=(X_{ij})_{i\leq m,j\leq n}$ be a random matrix, $A=(a_{ij})_{i\leq m,j\leq n}$ a real deterministic matrix, and $X_A=(a_{ij}X_{ij})_{i\leq m,j\leq n}$ the corresponding structured random matrix. We study the…

Consider the nonlinear matrix equation X-sum_{i=1}^{m}A_{i}^{*}X^{p_{i}}A_{i}=Q with p_{i}>0. Sufficient and necessary conditions for the existence of positive definite solutions to the equation with p_{i}>0 are derived. Two perturbation…

In this note, we consider matrices similar to $X$-form matrices, which are the matrices for which only the diagonal and the anti-diagonal elements can be different from zero. First, we give a characterization of these matrices using the…

The question of when zeros (i.e., sparsity) in a positive definite matrix $A$ are preserved in its Cholesky decomposition, and vice versa, was addressed by Paulsen et al. in the Journal of Functional Analysis (85, pp151-178). In particular,…

We formulate the problem of finding the probability that the determinant of a matrix undergoes the least change upon perturbation of one of its elements, provided that most or all of the elements of the matrix are chosen at random and that…

We determine the rank of a random matrix over an arbitrary field with prescribed numbers of non-zero entries in each row and column. As an application we obtain a formula for the rate of low-density parity check codes. This formula…

We give conditions on sequences of positive algebraic numbers $\{a_{n,j}\}_{n=1}^\infty$, $j=1,\dots ,M$ and number field $\mathbb K$ to ensure that the numbers defined by the continued fractions $[0;a_{1,j},a_{2,j},\dots ]$, $j=1,\dots ,M$…

The standard theorem for regular stochastic matrices is generalized to matrices with no sign restriction on the entries. The condition that column sums be equal to 1 is kept, but the regularity condition is replaced by a condition on the…

In this paper we survey some recent results concerning the numerical index $n(\cdot)$ for large classes of Banach spaces, including vector valued $\ell_p$-spaces and $\ell_p$-sums of Banach spaces where $1\leq p < \infty$. In particular by…

It is known that every complex square matrix with nonnegative determinant is the product of positive semi-definite matrices. There are characterizations of matrices that require two or five positive semi-definite matrices in the product.…

In this article we present several necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of Hermitian positive definite solutions of nonlinear matrix equations of the form $X^s + A^*X^{-t}A + B^*X^{-p}B = Q$, where $ s, t, p \geq 1$, $ A,…

A matrix is called a P-matrix if all its principal minors are positive. P-matrices have found important applications in functional analysis, mathematical programming, and dynamical systems theory. We introduce a new class of real matrices…

In this paper we characterise the indeterminate case by the eigenvalues of the Hankel matrices being bounded below by a strictly positive constant. An explicit lower bound is given in terms of the orthonormal polynomials and we find…

We define {\em incidence matrices} to be zero-one matrices with no zero rows or columns. A classification of incidence matrices is considered for which conditions of symmetry by transposition, having no repeated rows/columns, or…

Let $A$ be an $m \times n$ matrix with real entries. Given two proper cones $K_1$ and $K_2$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $\mathbb{R}^m$, respectively, we say that $A$ is nonnegative if $A(K_1) \subseteq K_2$. $A$ is said to be semipositive if…

Given two symmetric and positive semidefinite square matrices $A, B$, is it true that any matrix given as the product of $m$ copies of $A$ and $n$ copies of $B$ in a particular sequence must be dominated in the spectral norm by the ordered…

The main result of the paper shows that, for 1<p and 1<=q, a linear operator T from l_p to l_q attains its norm if, and only if, there exists a not weakly null maximizing sequence for T (counterexamples can be easily constructed when p=1).…
