This paper proposes uni-orthogonal and bi-orthogonal nonnegative matrix factorization algorithms with robust convergence proofs. We design the algorithms based on the work of Lee and Seung [1], and derive the converged versions by utilizing…
We introduce the problem of constructing weighted complex projective 2-designs from the union of a family of orthonormal bases. If the weight remains constant across elements of the same basis, then such designs can be interpreted as…
In this note we investigate the existence of flat orthogonal matrices, i.e. real orthogonal matrices with all entries having absolute value close to $\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}$. Entries of $\pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}$ correspond to Hadamard matrices,…
We investigate the indicators for certain groups of the form $\BZ_k\rtimes D_l$ and their doubles, where $D_l$ is the dihedral group of order $2l$. We subsequently obtain an infinite family of totally orthogonal, completely real groups…
An auxiliary free construction $*_{i=1}^{r}(K_i, L_i, t_i)_M$ based on HNN-extensions and on generalized free product of groups with amalgamated subgroups is suggested, and some of its basic properties are displayed. The proposed…
Algorithmic methods for the explicit inversion of the indefinite double covering maps are proposed. These are based on either the Givens decomposition or the polar decomposition of the given matrix in the proper, indefinite orthogonal group…
A new condition, the strong inner product property, is introduced and used to construct sign patterns of row orthogonal matrices. Using this property, infinite families of sign patterns allowing row orthogonality are found. These provide…
Classifying orthogonal arrays is a well known important class of problems that asks for finding all non-isomorphic, non-negative integer solutions to a class of systems of constraints. Solved instances are scarce. We develop two new methods…
Unitary $t$-designs are `good' finite subsets of the unitary group $U(d)$ that approximate the whole unitary group $U(d)$ well. Unitary $t$-designs have been applied in randomized benchmarking, tomography, quantum cryptography and many…
It is well-known that plane partitions, lozenge tilings of a hexagon, perfect matchings on a honeycomb graph, and families of non-intersecting lattice paths in a hexagon are all in bijection. In this work we consider regions that are more…
Our main result is the construction of symmetric Hadamard matrices of order q(1 + q) where q is a prime power congruent to 3 mod 8.
We propose an algorithm which for any recursive group $G$, given by its effectively enumerable generators and recursively enumerable relations, outputs an explicit embedding of $G$ into a finitely presented group directly written by its…
We study isometric actions of Steinberg groups on Hadamard manifolds. We prove some rigidity properties related to these actions. In Particular we show that every isometric action of $St_n(F_p\langle t_1,\ldots ,t_k \rangle)$ on Hadamard…
Self-orthogonal codes have been of interest due to there rich algebraic structures and wide applications. Euclidean self-orthogonal codes have been quite well studied in literature. Here, we have focused on Hermitian self-orthogonal codes.…
Together with David Schlang we computed the discriminants of the invariant Hermitian forms for all indicator $o$ even degree absolutely irreducible characters of the ATLAS groups supplementing the tables of orthogonal determinants computed…
We show that a rectangle can be signed tiled by ribbon L n-ominoes, n odd, if and only if it has a side divisible by n. A consequence of our technique, based on the exhibition of an explicit Groebner basis, is that any k-inflated copy of…
We study chip-firing on a signed graph $G_\phi$, employing a general theory of chip-firing on invertible matrices introduced by Guzm\'an and Klivans. Here a negative edge designates an adversarial relationship, so that firing a vertex…
We prove the following two results relating real mutually unbiased bases and representations of finite groups of odd order. Let $q$ be a power of 2 and $r$ a positive integer. Then we can find a $q^{2r}\times q^{2r}$ real orthogonal matrix…
The orthogonal groups are a series of simple Lie groups associated to symmetric bilinear forms. There is no analogous series associated to symmetric trilinear forms. We introduce an infinite dimensional group-like object that can be viewed…
Unitary designs are essential tools in several quantum information protocols. Similarly to other design concepts, unitary designs are mainly used to facilitate averaging over a relevant space, in this case, the unitary group…
