We show that every n-by-n matrix is generically a product of [n/2] + 1 Toeplitz matrices and always a product of at most 2n+5 Toeplitz matrices. The same result holds true if the word "Toeplitz" is replaced by "Hankel", and the generic…

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 $d$,…

Denote by $\P_n$ the set of $n\times n$ positive definite matrices. Let $D = D_1\oplus \dots \oplus D_k$, where $D_1\in \P_{n_1}, \dots, D_k \in \P_{n_k}$ with $n_1+\cdots + n_k=n$. Partition $C\in \P_n$ according to $(n_1, \dots, n_k)$ so…

In this paper, we would like to study the critical exponent for semi-linear damped wave equations with power nonlinearity and the initial data belonging to Sobolev spaces of negative order $\dot{H}_m^{-\gamma}$. Precisely, we obtain a new…

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…

Oscillatory matrices were introduced in the seminal work of Gantmacher and Krein. An $n\times n$ matrix $A$ is called oscillatory if all its minors are nonnegative and there exists a positive integer $k$ such that all minors of $A^k$ are…

Let $d(N )$ (resp. $p(N )$) be the number of summands in the determinant (resp. permanent) of an $N\times N$ circulant matrix $A = (a_{ij} )$ given by $a_{ij} = X_{i+j}$ where $i + j$ should be considered $\mod N$ . This short note is…

We investigate the existence of ground states for the focusing nonlinear Schroedinger equation on a prototypical doubly periodic metric graph. When the nonlinearity power is below 4, ground states exist for every value of the mass, while,…

Dual complex matrices have found applications in brain science. There are two different definitions of the dual complex number multiplication. One is noncommutative. Another is commutative. In this paper, we use the commutative definition.…

It is well known that the dominant eigenvalue of a real essentially nonnegative matrix is a convex function of its diagonal entries. This convexity is of practical importance in population biology, graph theory, demography, analytic…

Critical exponents in the CP^{N-1} model, which describes localized-moment ferro- and antiferromagnets (N=2 in the Heisenberg model), are calculated from two-particle Green's functions to first order in 1/N. For d=2+\epsilon the results…

The critical dynamics of superconductors is studied using renormalization group and duality arguments. We show that in extreme type II superconductors the dynamic critical exponent is given exactly by $z=3/2$. This result does not rely on…

For a fixed integer $e \geqslant 3$ and $n$ large enough, we show that the number of congruence classes modulo $2^e$ of characteristic polynomials of $n \times n$ symmetric $\{\pm 1\}$-matrices with constant diagonal is equal to…

An $n$-independent set in two dimensions is a set of nodes admitting (not necessarily unique) bivariate interpolation with polynomials of total degree at most $n.$ For an arbitrary $n$-independent node set $\mathcal X$ we are interested…

In (Kabanets, Impagliazzo, 2004) it is shown how to decide the circuit polynomial identity testing problem (CPIT) in deterministic subexponential time, assuming hardness of some explicit multilinear polynomial family for arithmetical…

We investigate the problem asking when any square matrix whose entries lie in a finite field of characteristic 2 is decomposable into the sum of a diagonalizable matrix and a nilpotent matrix with index of nilpotency at most 2 and, as a…

We reconsider generalizations of Hardy's inequality corresponding to the case of (point) dipole potentials $V_{\gamma}(x) = \gamma (u, x) |x|^{-3}$, $x \in \mathbb{R}^n \backslash \{0\}$, $\gamma \in [0,\infty)$, $u \in \mathbb{R}^n$,…

Let $A = \begin{bmatrix} E & F \\ F^T & G \end{bmatrix}$ be a $2n \times 2n$ real positive definite matrix, where $E, F,$ and $G$ are $n \times n$ blocks. It is shown that $\ d(E \oplus G) \prec^w d(A)$. Here $d(A)$ denotes the $n$-vector…

We prove Dual Smale's mean value conjecture for all odd polynomials with nonzero linear term. Precisely, if $P$ is an odd polynomial of degree $d\ge3$ with $P(0)=0$ and $P'(0)=1$, then there exists a critical point $\zeta$ of $P$ such that…
