In this paper we introduce the notion of "strong $n$-perfect rings" which is in some way a generalization of the notion of "$n$-perfect rings". We are mainly concerned with those class of rings in the context of pullbacks. Also we exhibit a…

We generalize a preceding simple proof of the Jamiolkowski criterion to check whether a given linear map between algebras of operators is completely positive or not. The generalization is performed to embrace all algebras of Hilbert-Schmidt…

We consider a symmetric matrix, the entries of which depend linearly on some parameters. The domains of the parameters are compact real intervals. We investigate the problem of checking whether for each (or some) setting of the parameters,…

We give a bijective correspondence between the number of nilpotent matrices over a Boolean semiring and the number of directed acyclic graphs on ordered vertices. We then enumerate pairs of maps between two finite sets whose composites are…

We prove that the matrix of capacitance in electrostatics is a positive-singular matrix with a non-degenerate null eigenvalue. We explore the physical implications of this fact, and study the physical meaning of the eigenvalue problem for…

A problem of completing a linear map on C*-algebras to a completely positive map is analyzed. It is shown that whenever such a completion is feasible there exists a unique minimal completion. This theorem is used to show that under some…

We establish a factorisation theorem for invertible, cross-symmetric, totally nonnegative matrices, and illustrate the theory by verifying that certain cases of Holte's Amazing Matrix are totally nonnegative.

In this article we present a new characterization of inverse M-matrices, inverse row diagonally dominant M-matrices and inverse row and column diagonally dominant M-matrices, based on the positivity of certain inner products.

We investigate modularity of elliptic curves over a general totally real number field, establishing a finiteness result for the set non-modular $j$-invariants. By analyzing quadratic points on some modular curves, we show that all elliptic…

We study determinants of matrices whose entries are powers of Fibonacci numbers. We then extend the results to include entries that are powers of generalized Fibonacci numbers defined as a second-order linear recurrence relation. These…

In this paper some new ways of generalizing perfect numbers are investigated, numerical results are presented and some conjectures are established.

The normalized totally positive bases are widely used in many fields.Based on the generalized Vandermonde determinant, the normalized total positivity of a kind of generalized toric-Bernstein basis is proved, which is defined on a set of…

Let A be an nxn (entrywise) positive matrix and let f(t)=det(I-t A). We prove that there always exists a positive integer N such that 1-f(t)^{1/N} has positive coefficients.

For a real matrix $M$, we denote by $sp(M)$ the spectrum of $M$ and by $\left \vert M\right \vert $ its absolute value, that is the matrix obtained from $M$ by replacing each entry of $M$ by its absolute value. Let $A$ be a nonnegative real…

In this paper, we present different characterizations of tripotent orthogonal matrices (i.e., A^3 = A = A^* ) in terms of matrix equations, integer powers of AA^* and A^*A, average of A, A^*, and A^{\dagger}, rank of matrices, and trace of…

Convenient parameterizations of matrices in terms of vectors transform (certain classes of) matrix equations into covariant (hence rotation-invariant) vector equations. Certain recently introduced such parameterizations are tersely…

We give a complete characterization of nonnegative integers $j$ and $k$ and a positive integer $n$ for which there is an $n$-by-$n$ matrix with its power partial isometry index equal to $j$ and its ascent equal to $k$. Recall that the power…

The attainment of accurate numerical solutions of ill-conditioned linear algebraic problems involving totally positive matrices has been gathering considerable attention among researchers over the last years. In parallel, the interest of…

We recall criteria on the spectrum of Jacobi matrices such that the corresponding isospectral torus consists of periodic operators. Motivated by those known results for Jacobi matrices, we define a new class of operators called GMP…

This article is a contribution to the spectral theory of so-called eventually positive operators, i.e.\ operators $T$ which may not be positive but whose powers $T^n$ become positive for large enough $n$. While the spectral theory of such…
