We prove that a linear nonautonomous differential system with nonuniform hyperbolicity on the half line can be expressed as diagonal system with a perturbation which is small enough. Moreover we show that the diagonal terms are contained in…

We provide a solution to the problem of simultaneous $diagonalization$ $via$ $congruence$ of a given set of $m$ complex symmetric $n\times n$ matrices $\{A_{1},\ldots,A_{m}\}$, by showing that it can be reduced to a possibly…

By previous work of Giordano and the author, ergodic actions of $\Z$ (and other discrete groups) are completely classified measure-theoretically by their dimension space, a construction analogous to the dimension group used in C*-algebras…

Holomorphic almost modular forms are holomorphic functions of the complex upper half plane which can be approximated arbitrarily well (in a suitable sense) by modular forms of congruence subgroups of large index in $\SL(2,\ZZ)$. It is…

A matrix is apportionable if it is similar to a matrix whose entries have equal moduli. This paper shows that all nilpotent matrices and all matrices with rank at most half their order are apportionable. General results are established and…

Let A be an expansive linear map from R^d to R^d. The notion of A-approximate continuity was recently used to give a characterization of scaling functions in a multiresolution analysis (MRA). The definition of A-approximate continuity at a…

We investigate the symmetries of so-called generalized extended CMV matrices. It is well-documented that problems involving reflection symmetries of standard extended CMV matrices can be subtle. We show how to deal with this in an elegant…

We comment two papers of Domokos and Vaccarino proving that the restriction to diagonal matrices of the scheme of commuting matrices is an isomorphism when restricted to invariants to the symmetric group invariants.

We establish that matroids characterized by the Tutte polynomial $\sum_{i,j\ge 0}t_{i,j}x^iy^j$ with coefficients $t_{i,j}$ vanishing for $(i,j)\ge (k,l)$ precisely coincide with $(k,l)$-uniform matroids. This characterization implies that…

We develop a procedure for determining whether a square complex matrix is unitarily equivalent to a complex symmetric (i.e., self-transpose) matrix. Our approach has several advantages over existing methods. We discuss these differences and…

We prove that a uniquely 2-divisible group that admits an almost regular involutory automorphism is solvable.

The largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a network plays an important role in several network processes (e.g., synchronization of oscillators, percolation on directed networks, linear stability of equilibria of network coupled…

Let $H$ be an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space and $B(H)$ the C*-algebra of bounded operators on $H.$ Suppose that $T_1,T_2,..., T_n$ are self-adjoint operators in $B(H).$ We show that, if commutators $[T_i, T_j]$ are…

Quasi-lattices are introduced in terms of 'join' and 'meet' operations. It is observed that quasi-lattices become lattices when these operations are associative and when these operations satisfy 'modularity' conditions. A fundamental…

Euclidean distance matrices corresponding to an arithmetic progression have rich spectral and structural properties. We exploit those properties to develop completely positive factorizations of translations of those matrices. We show that…

In this paper, we introduce the concept of nearly convex set-valued mappings and investigate fundamental properties of these mappings. Additionally, we establish a geometric approach for generalized differentiation of nearly convex…

We prove that if a rectangular matrix with uniformly small entries and approximately orthogonal rows is applied to the independent standardized random variables with uniformly bounded third moments, then the empirical CDF of the resulting…

We introduce almost diagonal matrices in the setting of (anisotropic) discrete homogeneous Triebel-Lizorkin type spaces and homogeneous modulation spaces, and it is shown that the class of almost diagonal matrices is closed under matrix…

In this work we take a deep dive into the cone of copositive $3 \times 3$ matrices. In doing so we visualize the cone, make geometric observations about it, and prove them. We then use these observations to parametrize the set. In the…

We show that for any separable reflexive Banach space $X$ and a large class of Banach spaces $E$, including those with a subsymmetric shrinking basis but also all spaces $L_p$ for $1\leq p \leq \infty$, every bounded linear map ${\mathcal…
