The scaling and mass expansion (shortly 'sm-expansion') is a new axiom for causal perturbation theory, which is a stronger version of a frequently used renormalization condition in terms of Steinmann's scaling degree. If one quantizes the…
In this paper it is shown that a generalized circulant matrix underlies every weakly Coupled Map Lattice (CML), independently of the form of the coupling term. Therefore, this matrix will appear always perturbative methods are used to get…
The problem of approximating a matrix by a low-rank one has been extensively studied. This problem assumes, however, that the whole matrix has a low-rank structure. This assumption is often false for real-world matrices. We consider the…
The Laplace expansion expresses the $n \times n$ determinant $\det_n$ as a sum of $n$ products. Do shorter expansions exist? In this paper we: - Fully determine the slice rank decompositions of $\det_n$ (where each product must contain a…
The problem of computing the class expansion of some symmetric functions evaluated in Jucys-Murphy elements appears in different contexts, for instance in the computation of matrix integrals. Recently, M. Lassalle gave a unified algebraic…
As well known, permanent of a square (0,1)-matrix $A$ of order $n$ enumerates the permutations $\beta$ of $1,2,...,n$ with the incidence matrices $B\leq A.$ To obtain enumerative information on even and odd permutations with condition…
We consider a number of generalizations of the $\beta$-extended MacMahon Master Theorem for a matrix. The generalizations are based on replacing permutations on multisets formed from matrix indices by partial permutations or derangements…
For a standard path of connections going to a generic point at infinity in the moduli space $M_{DR}$ of connections on a compact Riemann surface, we show that the Laplace transform of the family of monodromy matrices has an analytic…
The ordinary continued fractions expansion of a real number is based on the Euclidean division. Variants of the latter yield variants of the former, all encompassed by a more general Dynamical Systems framework. For all these variants the…
The paper provides new upper and lower bounds for the multivariate Laplace approximation under weak local assumptions. Their range of validity is also given. An application to an integral arising in the extension of the Dixon's identity is…
We prove an extension of Yuan's Lemma to more than two matrices, as long as the set of matrices has rank at most 2. This is used to generalize the main result of [A. Baccari and A. Trad. On the classical necessary second-order optimality…
We revisit the proof of the de Moivre--Laplace theorem, which is the ancestor of the central limit theorem for the binomial distribution. Our goal is to provide a proof that can be reasonably presented to undergraduate students within a…
We present expressions for the coefficients which arise in asymptotic expansions of multiple integrals of Laplace type (the first term of which is known as Laplace's approximation) in terms of asymptotic series of the functions in the…
Matrix concentration inequalities provide a direct way to bound the typical spectral norm of a random matrix. The methods for establishing these results often parallel classical arguments, such as the Laplace transform method. This work…
A new class of structured matrices is presented and a closed form formula for their determinant is established. This formula has strong connections with the one for Vandermonde matrices.
In this paper, we present an algorithm of simple exponential growth called COPOMATRIX for determining the copositivity of a real symmetric matrix. The core of this algorithm is a decomposition theorem, which is used to deal with simplicial…
In this tutorial, exponentiation and factorization (decomposition) formulas are derived and discussed for common matrix operators that arise in studies of classical dynamics, linear and nonlinear optics, and special relativity. To…
We consider a product of $2 \times 2$ random matrices which appears in the physics literature in the analysis of some 1D disordered models. These matrices depend on a parameter $\epsilon >0$ and on a positive random variable $Z$. Derrida…
Consideration of a question of E. R. Berlekamp led Carlitz, Roselle, and Scoville to give a combinatorial interpretation of the entries of certain matrices of determinant~1 in terms of lattice paths. Here we generalize this result by…
The problem of expressing a specific polynomial as the determinant of a square matrix of affine-linear forms arises from algebraic geometry, optimisation, complexity theory, and scientific computing. Motivated by recent developments in this…
