We put forward and prove a simple theorem stating that the eigenvalues of a tridiagonal matrix change their sign (as a set), once the signs of the diagonal elements of the matrix are changed. We also provide an example of application of…

We consider infinite quasi-periodic Jacobi self-adjoint matrices for which the three main diagonals are given via values of real analytic functions on the trajectory of the shift $x\rightarrow x+\omega$. We assume that the Lyapunov exponent…

This note starts from work done by Dai, Geary, and Kadanoff (Hui Dai, Zachary Geary, and Leo P. Kadanoff, H. Dai, Z. Geary and L. P. Kadanoff, Journal of Statistical Mechanics, P05012 (2009)) on exact eigenfunctions for Toeplitz operators.…

We calculate the eigenvalues of a class of random matrices, namely the randomly segmented tridiagonal quasi-Toeplitz (rstq-T) matrix, in exact closed-form. The contexts under which these matrices arise are ubiquitous in physics. In our…

Consider the eigenfunctions $u$ for a ree rectangular membrane wo that $-\Delta u=\lambda u$ on $\mathcal R(c,d)=(0,d)\times(0,d)$. In this note we show that if if $u>0$ on $\partial \mathcal R(c,d)) then $u\equiv C$ for some positive…

Real non-symmetric matrices may have either real or complex conjugate eigenvalues. These matrices can be seen to be pseudo-symmetric as $\eta M \eta^{-1} = M^t$, where the metric $\eta$ could be secular (a constant matrix) or depending upon…

Random Schroedinger operators with imaginary vector potentials are studied in dimension one. These operators are non-Hermitian and their spectra lie in the complex plane. We consider the eigenvalue problem on finite intervals of length n…

We show that among any $n$ points in the unit cube one can find a triangle of area at most $n^{-2/3-c}$ for some absolute constant $c >0$. This gives the first non-trivial upper bound for the three-dimensional version of Heilbronn's…

For a field $R$ of characteristic $p\ge 0$ and a matrix $c$ in the full $n\times n$ matrix algebra $M_n(R)$ over $R$, let $S_n(c,R)$ be the centralizer algebra of $c$ in $M_n(R)$. We show that $S_n(c,R)$ is a Frobenius-finite,…

It is known that a $2\times 2$ quaternionic matrix has one, two or an infinite number of left eigenvalues, but the available algebraic proofs are difficult to generalize to higher orders. In this paper a different point of view is adopted…

We consider the problem of the reconstruction of a Schwarz matrix from exactly one given eigenvalue. This inverse eigenvalue problem leads to the Jacobi orthogonal polynomials~$\{P_k^{(-n,n)}\}_{k=0}^{n-1}$ that can be treated as a discrete…

Let $R$ be a 2-torsion free unital ring and $N_n=N_n(R)$ the ring of strictly upper triangular matrices with entries in $R$ and center $Z=Z(N_n)$. It has been previously shown that any linear map $f:N_n\rightarrow N_n$ satisfying the…

This paper is concerned with the distance of a symmetric tridiagonal Toeplitz matrix $T$ to the variety of similarly structured singular matrices, and with determining the closest matrix to $T$ in this variety. Explicit formulas are…

In this paper, a rigorous computational method to enclose eigendecompositions of complex interval matrices is proposed. Each eigenpair $x=(\lambda,v)$ is found by solving a nonlinear equation of the form $f(x)=0$ via a contraction argument.…

We consider two basic algorithmic problems concerning tuples of (skew-)symmetric matrices. The first problem asks to decide, given two tuples of (skew-)symmetric matrices $(B_1, \dots, B_m)$ and $(C_1, \dots, C_m)$, whether there exists an…

Twisted tensor powers of quasitriangular Hopf algebras with diagonal sub-Hopf-algebras (self-diagonal tensor powers) are introduced together with their duals and their mutual *-structures as generalizations of the Drinfel'd double as given…

It was recently observed that the singular values of the off-diagonal blocks of the matrix sequences generated by the Cyclic Reduction algorithm decay exponentially. This property was used to solve, with a higher efficiency, certain…

We study local centrally essential subalgebras in the algebra of all upper triangular matrices over a field of characteristic $\ne 2$. It is proved that the algebras of upper triangular $3\times 3$ or $4\times 4$ matrices have only…

We consider the problem of finding integer-sided triangles with R/r an integer, where R and r are the radii of the circumcircle and incircle respectively. We show that such triangles are relatively rare.
