In this paper, we evaluate determinants of some families of Toeplitz-Hessenberg matrices having tribonacci number entries. These determinant formulas may also be expressed equivalently as identities that involve sums of products of…
We show that with any finite partially ordered set one can associate a matrix whose determinant factors nicely. As corollaries, we obtain a number of results in the literature about GCD matrices and their relatives. Our main theorem is…

In this paper, we derive a general expression for mth powers of symmetric(0,1)-heptadiagonal matrices with n = 3k order,k = 1,2,3,...,n/3).
Reciprocal matrices are tridiagonal matrices $(a_{ij})_{i,j=1}^n$ with constant main diagonal and such that $a_{i,i+1}a_{i+1,i}=1$ for $i=1,\ldots,n-1$. For these matrices, criteria are established under which their Kippenhahn curves…
Due to their rich algebraic structures and various applications, circulant matrices have been of interest and continuously studied. In this paper, the notions of Binomial-related matrices have been introduced. Such matrices are circulant…
We present here necessary and sufficient conditions for the invertibility of circulant and symmetric matrices that depend on three parameters and moreover, we explicitly compute the inverse. The techniques we use are related with the…
We describe a class of matrices whose determinants are trivial to compute. A nice example of such a matrix is given by considering the symmetric matrix with entries {i+j choose i} (mod 2) in {0,1}, 0 <= i,j < n the binomial coefficients…
In this paper we give a first study of perfect copositive $n \times n$ matrices. They can be used to find rational certificates for completely positive matrices. We describe similarities and differences to classical perfect, positive…
Let $n,k$ be fixed natural numbers with $1\le k\le n$ and let $A_{n+1,k,2k,\dots,sk}$ denote an $(n+1)\times (n+1)$ complex multidiagonal matrix having $s=[n/k]$ sub- and superdiagonals at distances $k,2k,\dots,sk$ from the main diagonal.…
The Householder reduction of a member of the anti-symmetric Gaussian unitary ensemble gives an anti-symmetric tridiagonal matrix with all independent elements. The random variables permit the introduction of a positive parameter $\beta$,…
In this note we prove an assertion made by M. Levin in 1999: the Pascal matrix modulo 2 has the property that each of the square sub-matrices laying on the upper border or on the left border has determinants, computed in $\mathbb{Z}$, equal…
The intersection matrix of a finite simplicial complex has as each of its entries the rank of the intersection of its respective simplices. We prove that such matrix defines the triangulation of a closed connected surface up to isomorphism.
We analyze the correspondence between finite sequences of finitely supported probability distributions and finite-dimensional, real, symmetric, tridiagonal matrices. In particular, we give an intrinsic description of the topology induced on…
This short survey reviews some aspects of spaces of positive-definite self-adjoint linear transformations on R^n and on C^n, including the standard Riemannian metric and the relation with the exponential mapping acting on self-adjoint…

We prove that meromorphic differentials $\omega^{(0)}_n(z_1,...,z_n)$ which are recursively generated by an involution identity are symmetric in all their arguments $z_1,...,z_n$. The proof involves an intriguing combinatorial identity…
It is well-known that orthogonal polynomials on the real line satisfy a three-term recurrence relation and conversely every system of polynomials satisfying a three-term recurrence relation is orthogonal with respect to some positive Borel…
We present a necessary and sufficient condition for a 3 by 3 matrix to be unitarily equivalent to a symmetric matrix with complex entries, and an algorithm whereby an arbitrary 3 by 3 matrix can be tested. This test generalizes to a…
We consider a symmetric matrix, the entries of which depend linearly on some parameters. The domains of the parameters are compact real intervals. We investigate the problem of checking whether for each (or some) setting of the parameters,…
