Let $K_n$ be the set of all nonsingular $n\times n$ lower triangular $(0,1)$-matrices. Hong and Loewy (2004) introduced the numbers $$ c_n={\rm min}\{\lambda\mid \lambda~\text{is an eigenvalue of}~XX^{\rm T},~X\in K_n\},\quad…

Let C_1 and C_2 be skew circuits in a binary matroid having circumference c. For any positive integer k there is a constant a_k such that if min { |A| ; C_1 \subset A \subset E-A} > a_k, then |C_1| + |C_2| < 2c -k.

In an attempt to progress towards proving the conjecture the numerical range W (A) is a 2--spectral set for the matrix A, we propose a study of various constants. We review some partial results, many problems are still open. We describe our…

The binary rank of a $0,1$ matrix is the smallest size of a partition of its ones into monochromatic combinatorial rectangles. A matrix $M$ is called $(k_1, \ldots, k_m ; n_1, \ldots, n_m)$ circulant block diagonal if it is a block matrix…

Kippenhahn's Theorem asserts that the numerical range of a matrix is the convex hull of a certain algebraic curve. Here, we show that the joint numerical range of finitely many Hermitian matrices is similarly the convex hull of a…

The quaternionic numerical range of matrices over the ring of quaternions is not necessarily convex. We prove Toeplitz-Hausdorff like theorem, that is, for any given quaternionic matrix every section of its quaternionic numerical range is…

We study a geometric structure of a physical region of neutrino mixing matrices as part of the unit ball of the spectral norm. Each matrix from the geometric region is a convex combination of unitary PMNS matrices. The disjoint subsets…

We provide numerical bounds on the Crouzeix ratiofor KLS matrices $A$ which have a line segment on the boundary of the numerical range. The Crouzeix ratio is the supremum over all polynomials $p$ of the spectral norm of $p(A)$ dividedby the…

A magic rectangle of order $m\times n$ with precisely $r$ filled cells in each row and precisely $s$ filled cells in each column, denoted $MR(m,n;r,s)$, is an arrangement of the numbers from 0 to $mr-1$ in an $m\times n$ array such that…

Let $M_n$ be a random matrix of size $n\times n$ and let $\lambda_1,...,\lambda_n$ be the eigenvalues of $M_n$. The empirical spectral distribution $\mu_{M_n}$ of $M_n$ is defined as $$\mu_{M_n}(s,t)=\frac{1}{n}# \{k\le n, \Re(\lambda_k)\le…

Denote by $w(T)$ the numerical radius of a matrix $T$. An elementary proof is given to the fact that $w(AB) \leq w(A)w(B)$ for a pair of commuting matrices of order two, and characterization is given for the matrix pairs that attain the…

Let $n$ be a natural number and $\mathcal{M}$ a set of $n \times n$-matrices over the nonnegative integers such that the joint spectral radius of $\mathcal{M}$ is at most one. We show that if the zero matrix $0$ is a product of matrices in…

Given a circulant matrix $\mathrm{circ}(c,a,0,0,...,0,a)$, $a\ne 0$, of order~$n$, we ``border'' it from left and from above by constant column and row, respectively, and we set the left top entry to be $-nc$. This way we get a~particular…

A matrix $M$ over the finite field $ \mathbb{F}_q $ is called \emph{maximum distance separable} (MDS) if all of its square submatrices are non-singular. These MDS matrices are very important in cryptography and coding theory because they…

The numerical radius of a matrix is a scalar quantity that has many applications in the study of matrix analysis. Due to the difficulty in computing the numerical radius, inequalities bounding it have received a considerable attention in…

We introduce and carefully study a natural probability measure over the numerical range of a complex matrix $A \in M_n(\C)$. This numerical measure $\mu_A$ can be defined as the law of the random variable $<AX,X> \in \C$ when the vector $X…
