In this paper we develop algorithms for orthogonal similarity transformations of skew-symmetric matrices to simpler forms. The first algorithm is similar to the algorithm for the block antitriangular factorization of symmetric matrices, but…
We show that given an estimate $\widehat{A}$ that is close to a general high-rank positive semi-definite (PSD) matrix $A$ in spectral norm (i.e., $\|\widehat{A}-A\|_2 \leq \delta$), the simple truncated SVD of $\widehat{A}$ produces a…
In this paper, we present a unified analysis of matrix completion under general low-dimensional structural constraints induced by {\em any} norm regularization. We consider two estimators for the general problem of structured matrix…
A family of tridiagonal pairs which appear in the context of quantum integrable systems is studied in details. The corresponding eigenvalue sequences, eigenspaces and the block tridiagonal structure of their matrix realizations with respect…
If $A$ is a tridiagonal matrix, then the equations $AX=I$ and $XA=I$ defining the inverse $X$ of $A$ are in fact the second order recurrence relations for the elements in each row and column of $X$. Thus, the recursive algorithms should be…
We study the problem of finding a superoptimal solution to the four block problem. Given a bounded block matrix function $\left(\begin{array}{cc}\Phi_{11} &\Phi_{12}\\\Phi_{21}&\Phi_{22}\end{array}\right)$ on the unit circle the four block…
Each square complex matrix is unitarily similar to an upper triangular matrix with diagonal entries in any prescribed order. Let A and B be upper triangular n-by-n matrices that (i) are not similar to direct sums of matrices of smaller…
Many applications require recovering a matrix of minimal rank within an affine constraint set, with matrix completion a notable special case. Because the problem is NP-hard in general, it is common to replace the matrix rank with the…
Hermitian linear matrix pencils are ubiquitous in control theory, operator systems, semidefinite optimization, and real algebraic geometry. This survey reviews the fundamental features of the matricial solution set of a linear matrix…
In this paper, we study the nearest stable matrix pair problem: given a square matrix pair $(E,A)$, minimize the Frobenius norm of $(\Delta_E,\Delta_A)$ such that $(E+\Delta_E,A+\Delta_A)$ is a stable matrix pair. We propose a reformulation…
A $2n\times 2n$ real matrix $A$ is said to be a Hamiltonian matrix if $A^{T}J+JA=0$, where $J=\left( \begin{array}{cc} 0 & I_{n} \\ -I_{n} & 0\\ \end{array} \right)$. Hamiltonian matrices appear in many areas of applications, such as linear…
In a recent paper, a new method was proposed to find the common invariant subspaces of a set of matrices. This paper invstigates the more general problem of putting a set of matrices into block triangular or block-diagonal form…
There has been much recent interest, initiated by work of the physicists Hatano and Nelson, in the eigenvalues of certain random non-Hermitian periodic tridiagonal matrices and their bidiagonal limits. These eigenvalues cluster along a…
We provide a decomposition that is sufficient in showing when a symmetric tridiagonal matrix $A$ is completely positive. Our decomposition can be applied to a wide range of matrices. We give alternate proofs for a number of related results…
We investigate the triangulated structure of stable monomorphism categories (filtered chain categories) over a Frobenius category. The high degree of symmetry of linear quivers leads to a plethora of semiorthogonal decompositions into…
A question of interest in Linear Algebra is whether all n x n complex matrices can be unitarily tridiagonalised. The answer for all n not equal to 4 (affirmative or negative) has been known for a while, whereas the case n=4 seems to have…
Let $n,\alpha\geq 2$. Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field with characteristic $0$ or greater than $n$. We show that the dimension of the variety of pairs $(A,B)\in {M_n(K)}^2$, with $B$ nilpotent, that satisfy $AB-BA=A^{\alpha}$ or…
It is well known that many problems in interval computation are intractable, which restricts our attempts to solve large problems in reasonable time. This does not mean, however, that all problems are computationally hard. Identifying…

In this work we present a framework for studying the eigenvalues of a family of matrices with a particular displacement structure. The family admits a specific decomposition as the product of an upper and a lower triangular matrices having…
