Let $A$ and $B$ be complex numbers, and let $(w_n)_{n\ge0}$ be a sequence of complex numbers with $w_{n+1}=Aw_n-Bw_{n-1}$ for all $n=1,2,3,\ldots$. When $w_0=0$ and $w_1=1$, the sequence $(w_n)_{n\ge0}$ is just the Lucas sequence…
We obtain the generic complete eigenstructures of complex Hermitian $n\times n$ matrix pencils with rank at most $r$ (with $r\leq n$). To do this, we prove that the set of such pencils is the union of a finite number of bundle closures,…
For every $k>3$, we give a construction of planar point sets with many collinear $k$-tuples and no collinear $(k+1)$-tuples. We show that there are $n_0=n_0(k)$ and $c=c(k)$ such that if $n\geq n_0$, then there exists a set of $n$ points in…
We investigate $(0,1)$-matrices that are {\em convex}, which means that the ones are consecutive in every row and column. These matrices occur in discrete tomography. The notion of ranked essential sets, known for permutation matrices, is…
A regular matrix pencil sE-A and its rank one perturbations are considered. We determine the sets in the extended complex plane which are the eigenvalues of the perturbed pencil. We show that the largest Jordan chains at each eigenvalue of…

In this note we describe the singular locus of diagonally-dominant Hermitian matrices with nonnegative diagonal entries over the reals, the complex numbers, and the quaternions. This yields explicit expressions for the probability that such…
Let $NPO(k)$ be the smallest number $n$ such that the adjacency matrix of any undirected graph with $n$ vertices or more has at least $k$ nonpositive eigenvalues. We show that $NPO(k)$ is well-defined and prove that the values of $NPO(k)$…
Let $X$ be a simplicial complex on $n$ vertices without missing faces of dimension larger than $d$. Let $L_{j}$ denote the $j$-Laplacian acting on real $j$-cochains of $X$ and let $\mu_{j}(X)$ denote its minimal eigenvalue. We study the…
For an integer $m\geq 1$, a combinatorial manifold $\widetilde{M}$ is defined to be a geometrical object $\widetilde{M}$ such that for $\forall p\in\widetilde{M}$, there is a local chart $(U_p,\phi_p)$ enable $\phi_p:U_p\to…
We consider the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrices of the form M + P, where M is an n by n Wigner random matrix and P is an arbitrary n by n deterministic matrix with low rank. In general, we show that none of the eigenvalues of M + P…
Universality of eigenvalue spacings is one of the basic characteristics of random matrices. We give the precise meaning of universality and discuss the standard universality classes (sine, Airy, Bessel) and their appearance in unitary,…
If $A$ is an $n \times n$ Hermitian matrix with eigenvalues $\lambda_1(A),\dots,\lambda_n(A)$ and $i,j = 1,\dots,n$, then the $j^{\mathrm{th}}$ component $v_{i,j}$ of a unit eigenvector $v_i$ associated to the eigenvalue $\lambda_i(A)$ is…
The singular values $\sigma >1$ of an $n \times n$ involutory matrix $A$ appear in pairs $(\sigma, \frac{1}{\sigma}),$ while the singular values $\sigma = 1$ may appear in pairs $(1,1)$ or by themselves. The left and right singular vectors…

The set ${\cal P}^{m\times n}_{r,d}$ of $m \times n$ complex matrix polynomials of grade $d$ and (normal) rank at most $r$ in a complex $(d+1)mn$ dimensional space is studied. For $r = 1, \dots , \min \{m, n\}-1$, we show that ${\cal…
For positive integers $m$ and $n$, we denote by $\mathrm{BH}(m,n)$ the set of all $H\in M_{n\times n}(\mathbb{C})$ such that $HH^\ast=nI_n$ and each entry of $H$ is an $m$-th root of unity where $H^\ast$ is the adjoint matrix of $H$ and…
We consider the set of $n\times n$ matrices with rational entries having numerator and denominator of size at most $H$ and obtain upper and lower bounds on the number of such matrices of a given rank and then apply them to count such…
A tuple (Z_1,...,Z_p) of matrices of size r is said to be a commuting extension of a tuple (A_1,...,A_p) of matrices of size n <r if the Z_i pairwise commute and each A_i sits in the upper left corner of a block decomposition of Z_i. This…
