The generalized sequence of numbers is defined by W_{n}=pW_{n-1}+qW_{n-2} with initial conditions W_{0}=a and W_{1}=b for a,b,p,q\inZ and n\geq2, respectively. Let W_{n}=circ(W_{1},W_{2},...,W_{n}). The aim of this paper is to establish…

This paper proposes a novel matrix rank-one decomposition for quaternion Hermitian matrices, which admits a stronger property than the previous results in (sturm2003cones,huang2007complex,ai2011new). The enhanced property can be used to…

We provide a short proof of the theorem that every real multivariate polynomial has a symmetric determinantal representation, which was first proved in J. W. Helton, S. A. McCullough, and V. Vinnikov, Noncommutative convexity arises from…

We define tensors, corresponding to cubic polynomials, which have the same exponent $\omega$ as the matrix multiplication tensor. In particular, we study the symmetrized matrix multiplication tensor $sM_n$ defined on an $n\times n$ matrix…

The determinant for complex matrices cannot be extended to quaternionic matrices. Instead, the Study determinant and the closely related $q$-determinant are widely used. We show that the Study determinant can be characterized as the unique…

In this article we present a method for constructing two-point functions in the spirit of the hexagon proposal, which leads us to propose a "square form factor". Since cutting the square gives us two squares, we can write a consistency…

This paper is dedicated to compute Pfaffian and determinant of one type of skew centrosymmetric matrices in terms of general number sequence of second order.

We present a variation and generalization of a determinant evaluation of Wilf (math.CO/9809120). His result concerns a matrix whose entries are the coefficients of powers of a given power series; we replace the powers by repeated…

We study a nonlinear decomposition of a positive definite matrix into two components: the inverse of another positive definite matrix and a symmetric matrix constrained to lie in a prescribed linear subspace. Equivalently, the inverse…

We confirm a recent conjecture of Xin and Zhang, which establishes a simple product formula for the characteristic polynomial of an $(n-1) \times (n-1)$ tridiagonal matrix $C$. This characteristic polynomial arises from a recurrence…

We study first-order concatenation theory with bounded quantifiers. We give axiomatizations with interesting properties, and we prove some normal-form results. Finally, we prove a number of decidability and undecidability results.

Given $n+1$ unit vectors in $\mathbf{R}^n$ or $\mathbf{C}^n,$ consider the absolute values of the determinants of the vectors taken $n$ at a time. By taking a geometric perspective, we show that the minimum of these determinants is…

This paper considers a simple geometric construction, called the Pentagram map. The pentagram map, performed on N-gons, gives rise to a birational mapping on the space of all N-gons. This paper finds what conjecturally are all the…

We study the one-body reduced density matrix of a system of $N$ one-dimensional impenetrable anyons trapped by a harmonic potential. To this purpose we extend two methods developed to tackle related problems, namely the determinant approach…

We present a simple proof of the factorization of (complex) symmetric matrices into a product of a square matrix and its transpose, and discuss its application in establishing a uniqueness property of certain antilinear operators.

Let \mu denote a symmetric probability measure on [-1,1] and let (p_n) be the corresponding orthogonal polynomials normalized such that p_n(1)=1. We prove that the normalized Tur{\'a}n determinant \Delta_n(x)/(1-x^2), where…

In this paper we study the computational complexity of computing the noncommutative determinant. We first consider the arithmetic circuit complexity of computing the noncommutative determinant polynomial. Then, more generally, we also…

The Rev. Dodgson's determinant condensation rule is given a bijective proof.

We outline our work (see [1,2,3,4]) on relaxation and 3d-2d passage with determinant type constraints. Some open questions are addressed. This outline-paper comes as a companion to [5].

In analogy to the definition of the lambda-determinant, we define a one-parameter deformation of the Dodgson condensation formula for Pfaffians. We prove that the resulting rational function is a polynomial with weights given by the…
