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…
This article examines matrices whose entries are determined by recursive relations of the form $A_{i, j} = x A_{i, j-1} + y A_{i-1, j-1} + z A_{i-1, j}$, where $x, y, z$ are constants, and the initial conditions are defined along the first…
We study characteristic polynomials of symmetric matrices with entries ${i+j\choose i}$ the binomial coefficients, over finite fields.
We prove several evaluations of determinants of matrices, the entries of which are given by the recurrence $a_{i,j}=a_{i-1,j}+a_{i,j-1}$, or variations thereof. These evaluations were either conjectured or extend conjectures by Roland…
This paper provides an accurate method to obtain the bidiagonal factorization of many generalized Pascal matrices, which in turn can be used to compute with high relative accuracy the eigenvalues, singular values and inverses of these…
We prove certain identities involving Euler and Bernoulli polynomials that can be treated as recurrences. We use these and also other known identities to indicate connection of Euler and Bernoulli numbers with entries of inverses of certain…
We present a few factorizations of polynomials over finite fields. These factorizations are related to traces, compositions of polynomials and binomial coefficients. As a corollary we obtain a description of all irreducible polynomials…
If L, respectively R are matrices with entries binom{i-1,j-1}, respectively binom{i-1,n-j}, it is known that L^2 = I (mod 2), respectively R^3 = I (mod 2), where I is the identity matrix of dimension n > 1 (see P10735-May 1999 issue of the…
The Pascal matrix, which is related to Pascal's triangle, appears in many places in the theory of uniform distribution and in many other areas of mathematics. Examples are the construction of low-discrepancy sequences as well as normal…
We give a formula for the inverse matrix to an infinite matrix with possibly noncommutative entries, generalizing the Newton interpolation formula and the Taylor formula.
A general theorem on factorization of matrices with polynomial entries is proven and it is used to reduce polynomial Darboux matrices to linear ones. Some new examples of linear Darboux matrices are discussed.
In this paper we propose a unified approach to matrix representations of different types of Appell polynomials. This approach is based on the creation matrix - a special matrix which has only the natural numbers as entries and is closely…
A novel factorization for the sum of two single-pair matrices is established as product of lower-triangular, tridiagonal, and upper-triangular matrices, leading to semi-closed-form formulas for tridiagonal matrix inversion. Subsequent…
We prove that the inverse of the Hankel matrix of the reciprocals of the Catalan numbers has integer entries. We generalize the result to an infinite family of generalized Catalan numbers. The Hankel matrices that we consider are associated…
Three combinatorial matrices are considered and their LU-decompositions were found. This is typically done by (creative) guessing, and necessary proofs are more or less routine calculations.
In this article, we consider the reciprocal antisymmetric polynomial \[P(z) = \sum_{j = 0}^{s}(-1)^j\gamma_j\left(z^j - z^{N + s + 1 - j}\right), \ \gamma_0 = 1.\] It is shown that if all the zeros of $P(z)$ are located on the unit circle,…

We consider two distinct $q$-analogues of the bipartite distance matrix, namely the $q$-bipartite distance matrix and the exponential distance matrix. We provide formulae of the inverse for these matrices, which extend the existing results…
We give a formula for matrix exponentials and partial fraction decompositions.
Following Benjamin et al., a matrix with entries being sums of two neighbouring Catalan numbers is considered. Its LU-decomposition is given, by guessing the results and later prove it by computer algebra, with lots of human help.…
