Let $f(x_1,...,x_k)$ be a polynomial over a field $K$. This paper considers such questions as the enumeration of the number of nonzero coefficients of $f$ or of the number of coefficients equal to $\alpha\in K^*$. For instance, if $K=\ff_q$…
In this paper we consider images of (ordinary) noncommutative polynomials on matrix algebras endowed with a graded structure. We give necessary and sufficient conditions to verify that some multilinear polynomial is a central polynomial, or…
We unify nonlinear Farkas lemma and S-lemma to a generalized alternative theorem for nonlinear nonconvex system. It provides fruitful applications in globally solving nonconvex non-quadratic optimization problems via revealing the hidden…
We introduce a new method for showing that the roots of the characteristic polynomial of certain finite lattices are all nonnegative integers. This method is based on the notion of a quotient of a poset which will be developed to explain…
Given $A\in \Z^{m\times n}$ and $b\in\Z^m$, we consider the issue of existence of a nonnegative integral solution $x\in \N^n$ to the system of linear equations $Ax=b$. We provide a discrete and explicit analogue of the celebrated Farkas…
The aim of this manuscript is to understand the dynamics of products of nonnegative matrices. We extend a well known consequence of the Perron-Frobenius theorem on the periodic points of a nonnegative matrix to products of finitely many…
Given an arbitrary field K and non-zero scalars a and b, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a matrix A in M_n(K) to be a linear combination of two idempotents with coefficients a and b. This extends results previously obtained…
Farkas' Lemma is a foundational result in linear programming, with implications in duality, optimality conditions, and stochastic and bilevel programming. Its generalizations are known as theorems of the alternative. There exist theorems of…
In the first two papers, the author embarked on a study of classes of linear equations over integers satisfying a "Farkas-type" property. As the third paper in this study, the present paper deals with another class of linear equations over…
We provide a combinatorial interpretation of Lah numbers by means of planar networks. Henceforth, as a conesquence of Lindstr\"om's lemma, we conclude that the related Lah matrix possesses a remarkable property of total non-negativity.
We extend and generalize the results of Scheiderer (2006) on the representation of polynomials nonnegative on two-dimensional basic closed semialgebraic sets. Our extension covers some situations where the defining polynomials do not…
We study non-linear surjective mappings on subsets of ${\cal M}_n(F)$, which preserve the zeros of some fixed polynomials in noncommuting variables. Keywords: Matrix algebra, Multilinear polynomials, Preservers.
We present a framework for the construction of linearizations for scalar and matrix polynomials based on dual bases which, in the case of orthogonal polynomials, can be described by the associated recurrence relations. The framework…
In this article the well known "Perron-Frobenius theory" is investigated involving the higher rank numerical range $\Lambda_{k}(A)$ of an irreducible and entrywise nonnegative matrix $A$ and extending the notion of elements of maximum…
We show that a formal power series in $2N$ non-commuting indeterminates is a positive non-commutative kernel if and only if the kernel on $N$-tuples of matrices of any size obtained from this series by matrix substitution is positive. We…
In this paper, we construct several new permutation polynomials over finite fields. First, using the linearized polynomials, we construct the permutation polynomial of the form $\sum_{i=1}^k(L_{i}(x)+\gamma_i)h_i(B(x))$ over ${\bf…
There has recently been ample interest in the question of which sets can be represented by linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). A necessary condition is that the set is rigidly convex, and it has been conjectured that rigid convexity is also…
We characterize all linear operators on finite or infinite-dimensional spaces of univariate real polynomials preserving the sets of elliptic, positive, and non-negative polynomials, respectively. This is done by means of Fischer-Fock…
Let $q$ be a prime power and $\mathbb F_{q^n}$ be the finite field with $q^n$ elements, where $n>1$. We introduce the class of the linearized polynomials $L(x)$ over $\mathbb F_{q^n}$ such that…
In this paper we present an equivalent statement to the Jacobian conjecture. For a polynomial map F on an affine space of dimension n, we define recursively n finite sequences of polynomials. We give an equivalent condition to the…
