We consider spectra of $n$-by-$n$ irreducible tridiagonal matrices over a field and of their $n-1$-by-$n-1$ trailing principal submatrices. The real symmetric and complex Hermitian cases have been fully understood: it is necessary and…
We bound the tensor ranks of elementary symmetric polynomials, and we give explicit decompositions into powers of linear forms. The bound is attained when the degree is odd.
We show that the $Y_{ab}^c$ of Pradisi-Sagnotti-Stanev are indeed integers, and we prove a conjecture of Borisov-Halpern-Schweigert. We indicate some of the special features which arise when the order of the modular matrix T is odd. Our…
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…
We give a characterization of all pairs $(k,n)$ of positive integers for which the ratio $$ \frac{1^k-2^k+3^k-\dots+(-1)^{n+1} n^k}{1^k-2^k+3^k-\dots+(-1)^{n}(n-1)^k} $$ of two consecutive alternating power sums is an integer.
Chebyshev polynomials and their modifications are attributes of various fields of mathematics. In particular, they are generating functions of the rows elements of certain Riordan matrices. In paper, we give a selection of some…
Planar commutative n-complex numbers of the form u=x_0+h_1x_1+h_2x_2+...+h_{n-1}x_{n-1} are introduced in an even number n of dimensions, the variables x_0,...,x_{n-1} being real numbers. The planar n-complex numbers can be described by the…
By using the Newton interpolation formula, we generalize the recent identities on the Catalan triangle obtained by Miana and Romero as well as those of Chen and Chu. We further study divisibility properties of sums of products of binomial…
Using the simple properties of Riemman integrable functions, Ramanujan's formula for sum of the square roots of first n natural numbers has been generalized to include r'th roots where r is any real number greater than 1.As an application…
The reciprocal Pascal matrix is the Hadamard inverse of the symmetric Pascal matrix. We show that the ordinary matrix inverse of the reciprocal Pascal matrix has integer elements. The proof uses two factorizations of the matrix of super…
In contrast to the situation in classical linear algebra, not every tropically non-singular matrix can be factored into a product of tropical elementary matrices. We do prove the factorizability of any tropically non-singular 2x2 matrix…
Riordan matrices are infinite lower triangular matrices determined by a pair of formal power series over the real or complex field. These matrices have been mainly studied as combinatorial objects with an emphasis placed on the algebraic or…
We shall characterize the structure of invertible substitutions on three-letter alphabet. We show that any invertible substitution, after some cyclic operation, can be written as a finite product of permutations and Fibonacci's…
The ensemble of antagonistic matrices is introduced and studied. In antagonistic matrices the entries $\mathcal A_{i,j}$ and $\mathcal A_{j,i}$ are real and have opposite signs, or are both zero, and the diagonal is zero. This…
In this paper, we discuss sums of powers of the positive integers and compute both the exponential and ordinary generating functions for these sums. We express these generating functions in terms of exponential and geometric polynomials and…
We establish two new Waring--Goldbach type representations: every sufficiently large odd integer $n$ can be expressed as \[ n = p_1^2 + p_2^2 + p_3^3 + p_4^3 + p_5^5 + p_6^6 + p_7^c, \] where each $p_i$ is prime and $c \in \{6,7\}$.
For each integer $x$, the $x$-th generalized pentagonal number is denoted by $P_5(x)=(3x^2-x)/2$. Given odd positive integers $a,b,c$ and non-negative integers $r,s$, we employ the theory of ternary quadratic forms to determine when the sum…

We obtain using exponential quadratic sums, explicit expressions for the number of triple persymmetric matrices over F_2 of given rank. (A matrix [a(i,j)] is persymmetric if a(i,j) = a(r,s) for i+j = r+s)
