Tridiagonal matrices with constant main diagonal and reciprocal pairs of off-diagonal entries are considered. Conditions for such matrices with sizes up to 6-by-6 to have elliptical numerical ranges are obtained.
Base on some simple facts of Hadamard product, characterizations of positive definite preserving linear transformations on real symmetric matrix spaces with an additional assumption "$\ra T(E_{ii})=1, i=1,2,..., n$" or "$T(A)>0\to A> 0$",…
By definition, reciprocal matrices are tridiagonal $n$-by-$n$ matrices $A$ with constant main diagonal and such that $a_{i,i+1}a_{i+1,i}=1$ for $i=1,\ldots,n-1$. For $n\leq 6$, we establish criteria under which the numerical range…
The present article includes the enumeration of $n$-polygons with a certain symmetry property: For an even number $n$ of vertices, we count the $n$-polygons with $\frac{n}{2}$ symmetry axes. In addition, if $n$ is a power of 2, we show the…

Orthogonal designs and weighing matrices have many applications in areas such as coding theory, cryptography, wireless networking and communication. In this paper, we first show that if positive integer $k$ cannot be written as the sum of…
A real symmetric n times n matrix is called copositive if the corresponding quadratic form is non-negative on the closed first orthant. If the matrix fails to be copositive there exists some non-negative certificate for which the quadratic…

In previous work [Adv. Math. 298, pp. 325-368, 2016], the structure of the simultaneous kernels of Hadamard powers of any positive semidefinite matrix were described. Key ingredients in the proof included a novel stratification of the cone…
In this paper we have discussed different possible orthogonalities in matrices, namely orthogonal, quasi-orthogonal, semi-orthogonal and non-orthogonal matrices including completely positive matrices, while giving some of their…
Reciprocal matrices are tridiagonal matrices $(a_{ij})_{i,j=1}^n$ with constant main diagonal and such that $a_{i,i+1}a_{i+1,i}=1$ for $i=1,\ldots,n-1$. For these matrices, criteria are established under which their Kippenhahn curves…

We introduce a countable collection of positivity classes for Hermitian symmetric functions on a complex manifold, and establish their basic properties. We study a related notion of stability. The first main result shows that, if the…
In this paper we characterize the nonnegative irreducible tridiagonal matrices and their permutations, using certain entries in their primitive idempotents. Our main result is summarized as follows. Let $d$ denote a nonnegative integer. Let…
A conference matrix of order $n$ is an $n\times n$ matrix $C$ with diagonal entries $0$ and off-diagonal entries $\pm 1$ satisfying $CC^\top=(n-1)I$. If $C$ is symmetric, then $C$ has a symmetric spectrum $\Sigma$ (that is,…
