The concepts of differentiation and integration for matrices are known. As far as each matrix is differentiable, it is not clear a priori whether a given matrix is integrable or not. Recently some progress was obtained for diagonalizable…
The Symmetric Nonnegative Matrix Trifactorization (SN-Trifactorization) is a factorization of an $n \times n$ nonnegative symmetric matrix $A$ of the form $BCB^T$, where $C$ is a $k \times k$ symmetric matrix, and both $B$ and $C$ are…
We introduce the operation of forming the tensor product in the theory of analytic Frobenius manifolds. Building on the results for formal Frobenius manifolds which we extend to the additional structures of Euler fields and flat identities,…
A Kronecker product model is the set of visible marginal probability distributions of an exponential family whose sufficient statistics matrix factorizes as a Kronecker product of two matrices, one for the visible variables and one for the…
The absolute value of matrices is used in order to give inequalities for the trace of products. An application gives a very short proof of the tracial matrix Hoelder inequality
Factorization of compact wavelet matrices into primitive ones has been known for more than 20 years. This method makes it possible to generate wavelet matrix coefficients and also to specify them by their first row. Recently, a new…
We want to construct a homological link invariant whose Euler characteristic is MOY polynomial as Khovanov and Rozansky constructed a categorification of HOMFLY polynomial. The present paper gives the first step to construct a…
We formulate and prove a criterion for reducibility of a quadratic polynomial over the integers. The main theorem was suggested by the teaching experience with the concrete material called "the polynomial box". Through the corollaries we…
In this note we give an elementary demonstration of the fact that AB=I implies BA=I for square matrices A,B with coefficients in a field K. By elementary we mean that our proof follows from the very definitions of matrix and product of a…
Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a field. We show that given any $n$th degree monic polynomial $q(x)\in \mathbb{F}[x]$ and any matrix $A\in\mathbb{M}_n(\mathbb{F})$ whose trace coincides with the trace of $q(x)$ and consisting in its main diagonal of…
We present explicit algorithms for computing structured matrix-vector products that are optimal in the sense of Strassen, i.e., using a provably minimum number of multiplications. These structures include Toeplitz/Hankel/circulant,…
This manuscript describes a technique for computing partial rank-revealing factorizations, such as, e.g, a partial QR factorization or a partial singular value decomposition. The method takes as input a tolerance $\varepsilon$ and an…
We give one more proof of the fact that symplectic matrices over real and complex fields have determinant one. While this has already been proved many times, there has been lasting interest in finding an elementary proof. Our result is…
We give conditions for when the tensor product of two positive maps between matrix algebras is a positive map. This happens when one map belongs to a symmetric mapping cone and the other to the dual cone. Necessary and sufficient conditions…
Motivated by a concept studied in [1], we consider a property of matrices over finite fields that generalizes triangular totally nonsingular matrices to block matrices. We show that (1) matrices with this property suffice to construct good…
We construct a graph of Kummer elements in a given cyclic algebra of prime degree and study its properties. In case of degree 5, we provide sufficient conditions for two elements to have a chain of Kummer elements connecting them, such that…
We give factorizations for weighted spanning tree enumerators of Cartesian products of complete graphs, keeping track of fine weights related to degree sequences and edge directions. Our methods combine Kirchhoff's Matrix-Tree Theorem with…
Matrix factorizations of a hypersurface yield a description of the asymptotic structure of minimal free resolutions over the hypersurface. We introduce a new concept of matrix factorizations for complete intersections that allows us to…
In this paper, we review the problem of matrix completion and expose its intimate relations with algebraic geometry, combinatorics and graph theory. We present the first necessary and sufficient combinatorial conditions for matrices of…
A symmetric positive semi-definite matrix A is called completely positive if there exists a matrix B with nonnegative entries such that A=BB^T. If B is such a matrix with a minimal number p of columns, then p is called the cp-rank of A. In…
