We prove that the sequence of eigencones (i.e., cones of nonnegative eigenvectors) of positive powers A^k of a nonnegative square matrix A is periodic both in max algebra and in nonnegative linear algebra. Using an argument of Pullman, we…

A nonnegative matrix A is said to be strongly robust if its max-algebraic eigencone is universally reachable, i.e., if the orbit of any initial vector ends up with a max-algebraic eigenvector of A. Consider the case when the initial vector…

The aim of this manuscript is to understand the dynamics of matrix products in a max algebra. A consequence of the Perron-Fr\"{o}benius theorem on periodic points of a nonnegative matrix is generalized to a max algebra setting. The same is…

Power nonnegative matrices are defined as complex matrices having at least one nonnegative integer power. We exploit the possibility of deriving a Perron Frobenius-like theory for these matrices, obtaining three main results and drawing…

This paper studies commuting matrices in max algebra and nonnegative linear algebra. Our starting point is the existence of a common eigenvector, which directly leads to max analogues of some classical results for complex matrices. We also…

The main result of the note describes certain optimal-score partitions, which can be interpreted as optimal resource allocations. This result is based on the fact that any nonnegative square matrix whose column sums are the same as the…

The aim of this manuscript is to understand the dynamics of products of nonnegative matrices. We extend a well known consequence of the Perron-Frobenius theorem on the periodic points of a nonnegative matrix to products of finitely many…

This present paper provides the absolutely necessary corrections to the previous work entitled {\it A polynomial Time Algorithm to Solve The Max-atom Problem} (arXiv:2106.08854v1). The max-atom-problem (MAP) deals with system of scalar…

The core of an ideal is the intersection of all of its reductions. The core has geometric significance coming, for example, from its connection to adjoint and multiplier ideals. In general, though, the core is difficult to describe…

The core of an ideal is the intersection of all its reductions. For large classes of ideals I we explicitly describe the core as a colon ideal of a power of a single reduction and a power of I.

Let $n$ and $k$ be two positive integers with $k\leq n$ and $C$ an $n \times n$ matrix with nonnegative entries. In this paper, the rank-$k$ numerical range in the max algebra setting is introduced and studied. The related notions of the…

The core of a finite-dimensional modular representation $M$ of a finite group $G$ is its largest non-projective summand. We prove that the dimensions of the cores of $M^{\otimes n}$ have algebraic Hilbert series when $M$ is Omega-algebraic,…

We study the maximal rank in affine subspaces of symmetric or alternating matrices, in terms of the matching numbers of certain associated graphs. Applications include simple proofs of upper bounds on the dimension of such subspaces in…

We study systems of equations over graphs, posets and matroids. We give the criteria, when a direct power of such algebraic structures is equationally Noetherian. Moreover we prove that any direct power of a finite algebraic structure is…

Let $M_n(K)$ denote the algebra of $n \times n$ matrices over a field $K$ of characteristic zero. A nonunital subalgebra $N \subset M_n(K)$ will be called a nonunital intersection if $N$ is the intersection of two unital subalgebras of…

Let $ex(n, P)$ be the maximum possible number of ones in any 0-1 matrix of dimensions $n \times n$ that avoids $P$. Matrix $P$ is called minimally non-linear if $ex(n, P) = \omega(n)$ but $ex(n, P') = O(n)$ for every strict subpattern $P'$…

An oriented graph is said positively multiplicative when its adjacency matrix $A$ embeds in a matrix algebra admitting a basis $\mathsf{B}$ with nonnegative structure constants in which the matrix of the multiplication by $A$ coincides with…

Subsets of a matrix algebra over a field that are invariant under conjugation and contain the linear span of each two of their commuting elements are described. They obviously include the subsets of diagonalizable and nilpotent matrices. In…

We introduce a method to determine the maximum nilpotent orbit which intersects a variety of nilpotent matrices described by a strictly upper triangular matrix over a polynomial ring. We show that the result only depends on the ranks of its…
