It is known that any symmetric matrix $M$ with entries in $\R[x]$ and which is positive semi-definite for any substitution of $x\in\R$, has a Smith normal form whose diagonal coefficients are constant sign polynomials in $\R[x]$. We…

Random matrices like GUE, GOE and GSE have been studied for decades and have been shown that they possess a lot of nice properties. In 2005, a new property of independent GUE random matrices is discovered by Haagerup and Thorbj{\o}rnsen in…

Given a sequence $(M_{n},Q_{n})_{n\ge 1}$ of i.i.d.\ random variables with generic copy $(M,Q) \in GL(d, \R) \times \R^d$, we consider the random difference equation (RDE) $$ R_{n}=M_{n}R_{n-1}+Q_{n}, $$ $n\ge 1$, and assume the existence…

Let $P_n$ be the $n$-step right product $A_1\cdots A_n$, where $A_1,A_2,\dots$ is a given infinite sequence of $d\times d$ matrices with nonnegative entries. In a wide range of situations, the normalized matrix product $P_n/{\Vert…

In this paper, we study the positive stability of $P$-matrices. We prove that a $P$-matrix A is positively stable if A is a $Q^2$-matrix and there is at least one nested sequence of principal submatrices of A each of which is also a…

Let $N,d > 1$ be fixed integers, let $(T_1, ..., T_N)$ be random d-by-d matrices with nonnegative entries and $Q$ a random d-vector with nonnegative entries. This induces a mapping (the multivariate smoothing transform) on probability laws…
