Let us extend the pair of operations (max,+) over real numbers to matrices in the same way as in conventional linear algebra. We study integer images of max-plus linear mappings. The question whether Ax (in the max-plus algebra) is an…

We discuss the use of matrices for providing sequences of rationals that approximate algebraic irrationalities. In particular, we study the regular representation of algebraic extensions, proving that ratios between two entries of the…

An ideal I in a polynomial ring S has linear powers if all the powers I^k of I have a linear free resolution. We show that the ideal of maximal minors of a sufficiently general matrix with linear entries has linear powers. The required…

An invertible matrix is called a Perron similarity if one of its columns and the corresponding row of its inverse are both nonnegative or both nonpositive. Such matrices are of relevance and import in the study of the nonnegative inverse…

This paper establishes new upper bounds for the right eigenvalues of monic matrix polynomials over the quaternion division algebra. The noncommutative nature of quaternion multiplication presents fundamental challenges in eigenvalue…

A classical argument was introduced by Khintchine in 1926 in order to exhibit the existence of totally irrational singular linear forms in two variables. This argument was subsequently revisited and extended by many authors. For instance,…

The paper develops the general theory for the items in the title, assuming that the matrix is countable and cofinal.

Recently, the second and the third author developed sums of nonnegative circuit polynomials (SONC) as a new certificate of nonnegativity for real polynomials, which is independent of sums of squares. In this article we show that the SONC…

We study modules for the divided power algebra $D$ in a single variable over a commutative noetherian ring $k$. Our first result states that $D$ is a coherent ring. In fact, we show that there is a theory of Gr\"obner bases for finitely…

Let $\core G$ and $\corona G$ denote the intersection and the union, respectively, of all maximum independent sets of a graph $G$. In this work, we show that for a graph with at most two odd cycles, $\a{\core G}+\a{\corona G}$ is equal to…

We introduce and study a cone which consists of a class of generalized polynomial functions and which provides a common framework for recent non-negativity certificates of polynomials in sparse settings. Specifically, this…

The rank of an n x n matrix A is equal to the size of its largest square submatrix with a nonzero determinant, and it can be computed in O(n^2.37) time. Analogously, the size of the largest square submatrix with nonzero permanent is defined…

The problem of minimizing a (nonconvex) quadratic form over the unit simplex, referred to as a standard quadratic program, admits an exact convex conic formulation over the computationally intractable cone of completely positive matrices.…

The Akbari-Cameron-Khosrovshahi (ACK) conjecture, which appears to be unresolved, states that for any simple graph $G$ with at least one edge, there exists a nonzero {$\{0,1\}$}-vector in the row space of its adjacency matrix that is not a…

A retract of a graph $\Gamma$ is an induced subgraph $\Psi$ of $\Gamma$ such that there exists a homomorphism from $\Gamma$ to $\Psi$ whose restriction to $\Psi$ is the identity map. A graph is a core if it has no nontrivial retracts. In…

The Perron-Frobenius theory for nonnegative matrices has been generalized to order-preserving homogeneous mappings on a cone and more recently to nonnegative multilinear forms. We unify both approaches by introducing the concept of…

Copositive and completely positive matrices play an increasingly important role in Applied Mathematics, namely as a key concept for approximating NP-hard optimization problems. The cone of copositive matrices of a given order and the cone…

The purpose of this note is to study the number of elements in Minkowski bases on algebraic surfaces with rational polyhedral pseudo-effective cone.

This paper demonstrates that parallel vector curves are piecewise cubic rational curves in 3D piecewise linear vector fields. Parallel vector curves -- loci of points where two vector fields are parallel -- have been widely used to extract…

Let $A_1, \ldots, A_r$ be Hermitian $n \times n$ matrices and $S = \sum A_i \otimes s_i$ the associated matrix semicircle, where $s_1, \ldots, s_r$ are free semicircular variables. We prove that the following are equivalent: (i) the matrix…
