Let $D(n)$ be the maximal determinant for $n \times n$ $\{\pm 1\}$-matrices, and ${\mathcal R}(n) = D(n)/n^{n/2}$ be the ratio of $D(n)$ to the Hadamard upper bound. We give several new lower bounds on ${\mathcal R}(n)$ in terms of $d$,…
Let ${\mathcal D}(n)$ be the maximal determinant for $n \times n$ $\{\pm 1\}$-matrices, and $\mathcal R(n) = {\mathcal D}(n)/n^{n/2}$ be the ratio of ${\mathcal D}(n)$ to the Hadamard upper bound. Using the probabilistic method, we prove…
We show that the maximal determinant D(n) for $n \times n$ ${\pm 1}$-matrices satisfies $R(n) := D(n)/n^{n/2} \ge \kappa_d > 0$. Here $n^{n/2}$ is the Hadamard upper bound, and $\kappa_d$ depends only on $d := n-h$, where $h$ is the maximal…
In seminal work, Lov\'asz, Spencer, and Vesztergombi [European J. Combin., 1986] proved a lower bound for the hereditary discrepancy of a matrix $A \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times n}$ in terms of the maximum $|\det(B)|^{1/k}$ over all $k \times k$…
We give general lower bounds on the maximal determinant of n by n {+1,-1}-matrices, both with and without the assumption of the Hadamard conjecture. Our bounds improve on earlier results of de Launey and Levin (2010) and, for certain…
We prove that $\det A\leq 6^\frac{n}{6}$ whenever $A\in\{0,1\}^{n\times n}$ contains at most $2n$ ones. We also prove an upper bound on the determinant of matrices with the $k$-consecutive ones property, a generalisation of the consecutive…
We give upper bounds for the determinant of an $n\times n$ zero-one matrix containing $kn$ ones for integral $k$. Our results improve upon a result of Ryser for $k=o(n^{1/3})$. For fixed $k\ge 3$ it was an open question whether Hadamard's…
In a celebrated paper of 1893, Hadamard established the maximal determinant theorem, which establishes an upper bound on the determinant of a matrix with complex entries of norm at most $1$. His paper concludes with the suggestion that…
We derive upper and lower bounds on the determinant of an exponential matrix. They can be transformed into corresponding bounds for the determinant of a univariate Gaussian matrix.
We develop deterministic perturbation bounds for singular values and vectors of orthogonally decomposable tensors, in a spirit similar to classical results for matrices such as those due to Weyl, Davis, Kahan and Wedin. Our bounds…
Let $$ A=\left(\begin{array}{cc} H_1 & E^*\\ E & H_2\end{array}\right) \quad \hbox{ and } \quad \wtd A=\left(\begin{array}{cc} H_1 & O\\ O & H_2\end{array}\right)$$ be two $N$-by-$N$ Hermitian matrices with eigenvalues $\lambda_1 \ge \cdots…
Let $K_n$ denote the set of all nonsingular $n\times n$ lower triangular $(0,1)$-matrices. Hong and Loewy (2004) introduced the number sequence $$ c_n=\min\{\lambda\mid\lambda~\text{is an eigenvalue of}~XX^{\rm T},~X\in K_n\},\quad…
We prove a conjectured determinantal inequality: \frac{\det J}{\prod_{i=1}^nJ_{ii}}\le 2(1-\frac{1}{n-1})^{n-1}, where $J$ is a real $n\times n$ ($n\ge 2$) diagonally balanced symmetric matrix.
Let $A$ be an irreducible (entrywise) nonnegative $n\times n$ matrix with eigenvalues $$\rho, b+ic,b-ic, \lambda_4,\cdots,\lambda_n,$$ where $\rho$ is the Perron eigenvalue. It is shown that for any $t \in [0, \infty)$ there is a…
In this paper, we study the class of relatively $D$-stable matrices and provide the conditions, sufficient for relative $D$-stability. We generalize the well-known Hadamard inequality, to provide upper bounds for the determinants of…
Recently there has been several works estimating the number of $n\times n$ matrices with elements from some finite sets $\mathcal X$ of arithmetic interest and of a given determinant. Typically such results are compared with the trivial…
When $\{\alpha_i\}_{1 \leq i \leq m}$ is a sequence of distinct non-zero elements of an integral domain $A$ and $\gamma$ is a common multiple of the $\alpha_i$ in $A$ we obtain, by means of a simple identity for the Vandermonde determinant,…
In 1986 Lovasz, Spencer, and Vesztergombi proved a lower bound for the hereditary a discrepancy of a set system F in terms of determinants of square submatrices of the incidence matrix of F. As shown by an example of Hoffman, this bound can…
In Part I we construct the upper bound, in the spirit of $\Gamma$- $\limsup$, achieved by multidimensional profiles, for some general classes of singular perturbation problems, with or without the prescribed differential constraint, taking…
We study the question of finding the maximal determinant of matrices of odd order with entries {-1,1}. The most general upper bound on the maximal determinant, due to Barba, can only be achieved when the order is the sum of two consecutive…
