Necessary and sufficient conditions are given on matrices $A$, $B$ and $S$, having entries in some field $\mathbb F$ and suitable dimensions, such that the linear span of the terms $A^iSB^j$ over $\mathbb F$ is equal to the whole matrix…
We consider nonlinear elliptic systems satisfying componentwise coercivity condition. The nonlinear terms have controlled growths with respect to the solution and its gradient, while the behaviour in the independent variable is governed by…
Finite dimensional linear spaces (both complex and real) with indefinite scalar product [.,.] are considered. Upper and lower bounds are given for the size of an indecomposable matrix that is normal with respect to this scalar product in…
A well-known approach in the design of efficient algorithms, called matrix sparsification, approximates a matrix $A$ with a sparse matrix $A'$. Achlioptas and McSherry [2007] initiated a long line of work on spectral-norm sparsification,…
The current paper answers an open question of abs/1007.2426 We say that a countable model M characterizes an infinite cardinal kappa, if the Scott sentence of M has a model in cardinality kappa, but no models in cardinality kappa plus. If M…
For a positive semidefinite matrix $H= \begin{bmatrix} A&X\\ X^{*}&B \end{bmatrix} $, we consider the norm inequality $ ||H||\leq ||A+B|| $. We show that this inequality holds under certain conditions. Some related topics are also…
We present an example of a subfield $\mathcal{F}\subset\mathbb{R}$ and a matrix $A$ whose conventional and nonnegative ranks equal five, but the nonnegative rank with respect to $\mathcal{F}$ equals six. In other words, $A$ can be…
A matrix $A\in \mathbb{R}^{m \times n}$ is strictly sign regular/SSR (or sign regular/SR) if for each $1 \leq k \leq \min\{m,n\}$, all (non-zero) $k\times k$ minors of $A$ have the same sign. This class of matrices contains the totally…
We first show that a continuous function f is nonnegative on a closed set $K\subseteq R^n$ if and only if (countably many) moment matrices of some signed measure $d\nu =fd\mu$ with support equal to K, are all positive semidefinite (if $K$…
A symmetric positive semi-definite matrix A is called completely positive if there exists a matrix B with nonnegative entries such that A=BB^T. If B is such a matrix with a minimal number p of columns, then p is called the cp-rank of A. In…
Recently, in [Bor4], Bor proved a main theorem dealing with $|\bar{N}, p_{n}|_{k}$ summability factors of infinite series. In the present paper, we have generalized that theorem for $|A, p_{n}|_{k}$ summability method by taking normal…
The problem of determining whether a diagonally dominant matrix is singular or nonsingular is a classical topic in matrix theory. This paper develops necessary and sufficient conditions for the singularity or nonsingularity of diagonally…
Convergence is a crucial issue in iterative algorithms. Damping is commonly employed to ensure the convergence of iterative algorithms. The conventional ways of damping are scalar-wise, and either heuristic or empirical. Recently, an…
In this framework, the extremal case corresponds to the tightest nontrivial relaxation in this hierarchy, in which every proper principal submatrix is constrained to be positive semidefinite, while the global positive semidefiniteness…
Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a finite field of odd characteristic. When $|\mathbb{F}|\ge 5$, we prove that every matrix $A$ admits a decomposition into $D+M$ where $D$ is diagonalizable and $M^2=0$. For $\mathbb{F}=\mathbb{F}_3$, we show that such…
A recently-established necessary condition for polynomials that preserve the class of entrywise nonnegative matrices of a fixed order is shown to be necessary and sufficient for the class of nonnegative monomial matrices. Along the way, we…
A real matrix is said to be positive if its every entry is positive, and a real square matrix A is algebraically positive if there exists a real polynomial f such that f(A) is a positive matrix. A sign pattern matrix A is said to require a…
We show that a normal matrix $A$ with coefficient in $\mathbb C[[X]]$, $X=(X_1, \ldots, X_n)$, can be diagonalized, provided the discriminant $\Delta_A $ of its characteristic polynomial is a monomial times a unit. The proof is an…
We recall the definition and the properties of a moment sequence and recall that all real sequences that have a finite rank of its Hankel matrix (see definition in the sequel) satisfy a homogeneous linear equation with constant…
Some subadditivity results involving symmetric (unitarily invariant) norms are obtained. For instance, if $g(t)=\sum_{k=0}^m a_kt^k$ is a polynomial of degree $m$ with non-negative coefficients, then, for all positive operators $A,\,B$ and…
