Assume that $\{a_{n};\,n\geq0\}$ is a sequence of positive numbers and $\sum a_{n}^{\,-1}<\infty$. Let $\alpha_{n}=ka_{n}$, $\beta_{n}=a_{n}+k^{2}a_{n-1}$ where $k\in(0,1)$ is a parameter, and let $\{P_{n}(x)\}$ be an orthonormal polynomial…
In this note, we apply kernel polynomials to find the explicit inverses for some some Hankel matrices associated with q-orthogonal polynomials.
A Formal Orthogonal Pair is a pair $(A,B)$ of symbolic rectangular matrices such that $AB^T=0$. It can be applied for the construction of Hadamard and Weighing matrices. In this paper we introduce a systematic way for constructing such…
Let $n$ be a positive integer and $q$ be a power of an odd prime. We provide explicit formulas for calculating the orthogonal determinants $\det(\chi)$, where $\chi \in \mathrm{Irr}(\mathrm{GL}_n(q))$ is an orthogonal character of even…
We give an interpretation of sl_n webs as morphisms between certain singular Soergel bimodules. We explain how this is a combinatorial, algebraic version of the geometric Satake equivalence (in type A). We then q-deform the construction,…
Let $D$ be an oriented link diagram with the set of regions $\operatorname{r}_{D}$. We define a symmetric map (or matrix) $\operatorname{\tau}_{D}\colon\operatorname{r}_{D}\times \operatorname{r}_{D} \to \mathbb{Z}[x]$ that gives rise to an…
We introduce the notion of q-analogs of strongly regular graphs and give several examples of such structures. We prove a necessary condition on the parameters, show the connection to designs over finite fields, and present a classification.
We develop a systematic sign-embedding framework of operator-output quantum algorithms for matrix equations and matrix functions. Differing from the contour-integral treatment, we start with the matrix-sign embedding route: an augmented…
We settle a question of Bressoud concerning the existence of an explicit bijection from a class of oriented square-ice graphs to a class of tournaments. We give an algorithm constructing such a bijection.
We consider polynomials $Q:=\sum _{j=0}^da_jx^j$, $a_j\in \mathbb{R}^*$, with all roots real. When the {\em sign pattern} $\sigma (Q):=({\rm sgn}(a_d),{\rm sgn}(a_{d-1})$, $\ldots$, ${\rm sgn}(a_0))$ has $\tilde{c}$ sign changes, the…
Let $R$ be a finite commutative ring with unity $1_R$ and $k \in R$. Properties of one-sided $k$-orthogonal $n \times n$ matrices over $R$ are presented. When $k$ is idempotent, these matrices form a semigroup structure. Consequently new…
Canonical matrices are given for (a) bilinear forms over an algebraically closed or real closed field; (b) sesquilinear forms over an algebraically closed field and over real quaternions with any nonidentity involution; and (c) sesquilinear…
The signless Laplacian Q and signless edge-Laplacian S of a given graph may or may not be invertible. The Moore-Penrose inverses of Q and S are studied. In particular, using the incidence matrix, we find combinatorial formulas of the Moore-…
Motivated by a work of Fu-So-Song, we associate a symmetric matrix $A$ to a plane vector sequence $v$ and give a formula to find the signature of $A$ in terms of the sequence $v$. When $A$ is nonsingular, we interpret the relation between…
Two new matrix classes are introduced; inverse cyclic matrices and bi-diagonal south-west matrices. An interesting relation is established between these classes. Applications to two classes of inverse $Z$-matrices are provided.
The signature of a membrane is a sequence of tensors whose entries are iterated integrals. We study algebraic properties of membrane signatures, with a focus on signature matrices of polynomial and piecewise bilinear membranes. Generalizing…
This paper is the second in a series of planned papers which provide first bijective proofs of alternating sign matrix results. Based on the main result from the first paper, we construct a bijective proof of the enumeration formula for…
Two matrices $A$ and $B$ are called unitary (resp. orthogonal) equivalent if $AU=VB$ for two unitary (resp. orthogonal) matrices $U$ and $V$. Using trace identities, criteria are given for simultaneous unitary, orthogonal or complex…
It was shown by Kuperberg that the partition function of the square-ice model related to the quarter-turn symmetric alternating-sign matrices of even order is the product of two similar factors. We propose a square-ice model whose states…
We establish an explicit algebra isomorphism between the quantum reflection algebra for the $U_q(\hat{sl_2})$ R-matrix and a new type of current algebra. These two algebras are shown to be two realizations of a special case of tridiagonal…
