Each square complex matrix is unitarily similar to an upper triangular matrix with diagonal entries in any prescribed order. Let A and B be upper triangular n-by-n matrices that (i) are not similar to direct sums of matrices of smaller…

For every square matrix $A$ over a field $\mathbb{K}$, we have the equality $\mathrm{rank}(A) + \mathrm{rank}(I-A) = \mathrm{rank}(I) + \mathrm{rank}(A-A^2)$ where $I$ denotes the identity matrix with the same dimensions as $A$. In this…

We exhibit explicit expressions, in terms of components, of discriminants, determinants, characteristic polynomials and polynomial identities for matrices of higher rank. We define permutation tensors and in term of them we construct…

We present a new proof of the well known formula for the rank of the inclusion matrix by constructing a $k\mathcal{S}_n$-module spanned by the columns of this matrix and calculating its dimension.

Let $A$ be a Cartan matrix and $G(A)$ be the Kac-Moody group associated to Cartan matrix $A$. In this paper, we discuss the computation of the rank $i_k$ of homotopy group $\pi_k(G(A))$. For a large class of Kac-Moody groups, we construct…

We establish a new perturbation theory for orthogonal polynomials using a Riemann--Hilbert approach and consider applications in numerical linear algebra and random matrix theory. This new approach shows that the orthogonal polynomials with…

In this article, we are going to search for $n\times n$ matrices $A$ and $B$ such that their generalized numerical range $$W_A(B)=\{tr(AU^*BU) \ :\ U^*U=UU^*=I\}$$ is convex. More specifically, we consider $A=\hat{A}\oplus I_k$ and…

In this paper, we study the rank of matrices of bicomplex numbers. The relationship between rank, idempotent column rank and idempotent row rank is examined. Then, the solution of a system of equations in bicomplex space is presented using…

For a square matrix $A$, the resolvent of $A$ at a point $z \in \mathbb{C}$ is defined as $(A-zI )^{-1}$. We consider the set of points $z \in \mathbb{C}$ where the relative difference in 2-norm between the resolvent and the nearest rank…

It is known that the elementary symmetric polynomials $e_k(x)$ have the property that if $ x, y \in [0,\infty)^n$ and $e_k(x) \leq e_k(y)$ for all $k$, then $||x||_p \leq ||y||_p$ for all real $0\leq p \leq 1$, and moreover $||x||_p \geq…

Let $(m, n, k)$ be a tuple of integers with the property that if $i \leq k$, then $m + i$ and $n + i$ have the same radical. Using a result on the abc Conjecture, we bound $k$ from above, improving a result of Balasubramanian, Shorey, and…

We consider Hermitian random band matrices $H$ in $d \geq 1 $ dimensions. The matrix elements $H_{xy},$ indexed by $x, y \in \Lambda \subset \mathbb{Z}^d,$ are independent, uniformly distributed random variable if $|x-y| $ is less than the…

We investigate uniform random block lower bidiagonal matrices over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, and prove that their rank undergoes a phase transition. First, we consider block lower bidiagonal matrices with $(k_n+1)\times k_n$ blocks…

By definition, reciprocal matrices are tridiagonal $n$-by-$n$ matrices $A$ with constant main diagonal and such that $a_{i,i+1}a_{i+1,i}=1$ for $i=1,\ldots,n-1$. For $n\leq 6$, we establish criteria under which the numerical range…

The Laplacian of a (weighted) Cayley graph on the Weyl group $W(B_n)$ is a $N\times N$ matrix with $N = 2^n n!$ equal to the order of the group. We show that for a class of (weighted) generating sets, its spectral gap (lowest nontrivial…

We develop a marking system for an analog of Hasse diagrams of intervals $[u,v]$ with $u\leq v$ in a Hermitian symmetric pair $W/W_J$, and use this to create a closed form algorithm for computing relative R-polynomials. The uniform nature…

This paper consists of three parts: First, letting $b_1(z)$, $b_2(z)$, $p_1(z)$ and $p_2(z)$ be nonzero polynomials such that $p_1(z)$ and $p_2(z)$ have the same degree $k\geq 1$ and distinct leading coefficients $1$ and $\alpha$,…
