This paper surveys some combinatorial aspects of Smith normal form, and more generally, diagonal form. The discussion includes general algebraic properties and interpretations of Smith normal form, critical groups of graphs, and Smith…
Computations involving invariant random vectors are directly related to the theory of invariants (cf. e.g \cite{Weing_1}). Some simple observations along these lines are presented in this paper. We note in particular that sum of elements of…
Moments of secular and inverse secular coefficients, averaged over random matrices from classical groups, are related to the enumeration of non-negative matrices with prescribed row and column sums. Similar random matrix averages are…
In 1989, Rota conjectured that, given any $n$ bases $B_1,\dots,B_n$ of a vector space of dimension $n$, or more generally a matroid of rank $n$, it is possible to rearrange these into $n$ disjoint transversal bases. Here, a transversal…
In 1989, Rota made the following conjecture. Given $n$ bases $B_{1},\dots,B_{n}$ in an $n$-dimensional vector space $V$, one can always find $n$ disjoint bases of $V$, each containing exactly one element from each $B_{i}$ (we call such…
An approach, based on the Smith Normal Form, is introduced to study the spectra of symmetric matrices with a given graph. The approach serves well to explain how the path cover number (resp. diameter of a tree T) is related to the maximum…
The search for a highly discriminating and easily computable invariant to distinguish graphs remains a challenging research topic. Here we focus on cospectral graphs whose complements are also cospectral (generalized cospectral), and on…
We compute analytically the joint probability density of eigenvalues and the level spacing statistics for an ensemble of random matrices with interesting features. It is invariant under the standard symmetry groups (orthogonal and unitary)…
Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a square matrix over a commutative ring and let $\mathcal{A}$ be a principal submatrix. We give relations between the determinants of $\mathcal{M}$ and $\mathcal{A}$ based on an annihilating polynomial for one of them.…
Consideration of a question of E. R. Berlekamp led Carlitz, Roselle, and Scoville to give a combinatorial interpretation of the entries of certain matrices of determinant~1 in terms of lattice paths. Here we generalize this result by…
Motivated by studies of oscillator networks, we study the spectrum of the join of several normal matrices with constant row sums. We apply our results to compute the characteristic polynomial of the join of several regular graphs. We then…
We construct ensembles of random integrable matrices with any prescribed number of nontrivial integrals and formulate integrable matrix theory (IMT) -- a counterpart of random matrix theory (RMT) for quantum integrable models. A type-M…
We present enumeration results on the number of connected graphs up to 10 vertices for which there is at least one other graph with the same spectrum (a cospectral mate), or at least one other graph with the same Smith normal form…
We present here necessary and sufficient conditions for the invertibility of circulant and symmetric matrices that depend on three parameters and moreover, we explicitly compute the inverse. The techniques we use are related with the…
This paper investigates the Smith normal form equivalence problem for multivariate polynomial matrices. Using methods from matrix theory and polynomial ideal theory, we prove that Frost and Storey's 1978 conjecture holds for a broad class…
We investigate traces of powers of random matrices whose distributions are invariant under rotations (with respect to the Hilbert--Schmidt inner product) within a real-linear subspace of the space of $n\times n$ matrices. The matrices we…
The equivalence of multidimensional systems is closely related to the reduction of multivariate polynomial matrices, with the Smith normal form of matrices playing a key role. So far, the problem of reducing multivariate polynomial matrices…
In this letter we derive the $(n-1)$-dimensional distribution corresponding to a $n$-dimensional i.i.d. Normal standard vector $Z=(Z_1,Z_2,\ldots,Z_n)$ subjected to the weighted sum constraint $\sum_{i=1}^n w_i Z_i=c$, $w_i\neq 0$. We first…
For integers $0 \leq \ell \leq k_{r} \leq k_{c} \leq n$, we give a description for the Smith group of the incidence matrix with rows (columns) indexed by the size $k_r$ ($k_c$, respectively) subsets of an $n$-element set, where incidence…
We prove an asymptotic saturation-type version of Rota's basis conjecture. It relies on the connection of Tao's slice rank with unstable tensors from geometric invariant theory.
