In this paper we study sequences of vector orthogonal polynomials. The vector orthogonality presented here provides a reinterpretation of what is known in the literature as matrix orthogonality. These systems of orthogonal polynomials…

Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a finite field of odd characteristic. When $|\mathbb{F}|\ge 5$, we prove that every matrix $A$ admits a decomposition into $D+M$ where $D$ is diagonalizable and $M^2=0$. For $\mathbb{F}=\mathbb{F}_3$, we show that such…

We first summarize the basic structure of the outer distribution module of a completely regular code. Then, employing a simple lemma concerning eigenvectors in association schemes, we propose to study the tightest case, where the indices of…

The Noether-like operators that play an essential role in writing down the invariants for systems of two ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are constructed. The classification of such operators is carried out with the help of analytic…

Let $U$ and $V$ be finite-dimensional vector spaces over a (commutative) field $\mathbb{K}$, and $\mathcal{S}$ be a linear subspace of the space $\mathcal{L}(U,V)$ of all linear operators from $U$ to $V$. A map $F : \mathcal{S} \rightarrow…

The dimension of a linear space is the maximum positive integer $d$ such that any $d$ of its points generate a proper subspace. For a set $K$ of integers at least two, recall that a pairwise balanced design PBD$(v,K)$ is a linear space on…

We define an algebra on two generators which we call the Tridiagonal algebra, and we consider its irreducible modules. The algebra is defined as follows. Let K denote a field, and let $\beta, \gamma, \gamma^*, \varrho, \varrho^*$ denote a…

Let $V$ be the set of $n\times n$ complex or real general matrices, Hermitian matrices, symmetric matrices, positive definite (resp. semi-definite) matrices, diagonal matrices, or upper triangular matrices. Fix $k\in \mathbb{Z}\setminus…

Suppose $F$ is an infinite field and let $f \in F\{X_1, \dots,X_m\}$ be a noncommutative polynomial. Partially answering a query of Makar-Limanov, we show that there are numbers $d$ and $m'$ such that, if $F$ is closed under taking $d$th…

The positive part $U^+_q$ of $U_q(\hat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)$ has a presentation with two generators $W_0$, $W_1$ and two relations called the $q$-Serre relations. The algebra $U^+_q$ contains some elements, said to be alternating. There are…

Given two nilpotent endomorphisms, we determine when their lattices of hyperinvariant subspaces are isomorphic. The study of the lattice of hyperinvariant subspaces can be reduced to the nilpotent case when the endomorphism has a…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ denote an algebraically closed field and let $V$ denote a vector space over $\mathbb{K}$ with finite positive dimension. Let $A,A^*$ denote a tridiagonal pair on $V$. We assume that $A,A^*$ belongs to a family of…

We study the Hadamard product of the linear forms defining a hyperplane arrangement with those of its dual, which we view as generating an ideal in a certain polynomial ring. We use this ideal, which we call the ideal of pairs, to study…

The vector transform operators are investigated; these operators are used at the solution of boundary value problems in piecewise homogeneous spherically symmetric areas. In particular, examples of transformation operators for vector…

Pairs of metrics in a three-dimensional linear vector space are considered, one of which is a Minkowski type metric with the signature (+,-,-). Such metric pairs are classified and canonical presentations for them in each class are…

We consider a Ziegler pair of plane arrangements, that is two plane arrangements $\mathcal{A}:f=0$ and $\mathcal{A}':f'=0$ in the projective space $\mathbb{P}^3$, such that the intersection lattices $L(\mathcal{A})$ and $L(\mathcal{A}')$…

We compute systematically for the planar double box Feynman integral relevant to top pair production with a closed top loop the Laurent expansion in the dimensional regularisation parameter $\varepsilon$. This is done by transforming the…

We prove a proposition that connects constant-PAF sequences and the corresponding Legendre pairs with integer PSD values. We show how to determine explicitly the complete spectrum of the $(\ell/3)$-rd value of the discrete Fourier transform…

We give canonical matrices of a pair (A,B) consisting of a nondegenerate form B and a linear operator A satisfying B(Ax,Ay)=B(x,y) on a vector space over F in the following cases: (i) F is an algebraically closed field of characteristic…

Let $A$ be a proper Riordan array with general element $a_{n,k}$. We study the one parameter family of matrices whose general elements are given by $a_{2n+r, n+k+r}$. We show that each such matrix can be factored into a product of a Riordan…
