In this note, we define a Gaussian probability distribution over matrices. We prove some useful properties of this distribution, namely, the fact that marginalization, conditioning, and affine transformations preserve the matrix Gaussian…

We develop subordinacy theory for extended CMV matrices. That is, we provide explicit supports for the singular and absolutely continuous parts of the canonical spectral measure associated with a given extended CMV matrix in terms of the…

We introduce an algebraic model, based on the determinantal expansion of the product of two matrices, to test combinatorial reductions of set functions. Each term of the determinantal expansion is deformed through a monomial factor in d…

We give a general Lagrange multiplier rule for mathematical programming problems in a Hausdorff locally convex space. We consider infinitely many inequality and equality constraints. Our results gives in particular a generalisation of the…

We generalize the notion of expanded degenerations and pairs for a simple degeneration or smooth pair to the case of smooth Deligne-Mumford stacks. We then define stable quotients on the classifying stacks of expanded degenerations and…

Given a function on diagonal matrices, there is a unique way to extend this to an invariant (by conjugation) function on symmetric matrices. We show that the extension preserves regularity -- that is, if the original function is k times…

We show that the existence of $\{\pm 1\}$-matrices having largest possible determinant is equivalent to the existence of certain tournament matrices. In particular, we prove a recent conjecture of Armario. We also show that large…

At the ANZIAM conference in Hobart in February, 2018, there were several talks on the solution of Laplace problems in multiply connected domains by means of conformal mapping. It appears to be not widely known that such problems can also be…

A polynomial is expansive if all of its roots lie outside the unit circle. We define some special determinants involving the coefficients of a real polynomial and formulate necessary and sufficient conditions for expansivity using these…

Rank-one update of the spectrum of a matrix is a fundamental problem in classical perturbation theory. In this paper, we consider its variant where only part of the spectrum is known. We address this variant using an efficient scheme for…

In this article, we define a matrix multinomial distribution. We prove some properties of the matrix multinomial distribution. We prove that the matrix Poisson distribution can be used as an approximation to the matrix multinomial…

We give one more proof of the fact that symplectic matrices over real and complex fields have determinant one. While this has already been proved many times, there has been lasting interest in finding an elementary proof. Our result is…

An algebra $\mathcal{A}$ of $n\times n$ complex matrices is said to be \textit{idempotent compressible} if $E\mathcal{A}E$ is an algebra for all idempotents $E\in\mathbb{M}_n(\mathbb{C})$. Analogously, $\mathcal{A}$ is said to be…

We consider the spectrum of the Laplace operator acting on $\mathcal{L}^p$ over a conformally compact manifold for $1 \leq p \leq \infty$. We prove that for $p \neq 2$ this spectrum always contains an open region of the complex plane. We…

We show that certain determinantal functions of multiple matrices, when summed over the symmetries of the cube, decompose into functions of the original matrices. These are shown to be true in complete generality; that is, no properties of…

We introduced a generalized Wishart distribution, namely, the Kotz-Wishart distribution. Several existing results based on the normality assumption have been extended. Inspired by the particular form of the pdf of the Kotz-Wishart matrix,…

Mirsky proved that, for the existence of a complex matrix with given eigenvalues and diagonal entries, the obvious necessary condition is also sufficient. We generalize this theorem to matrices over any field and provide a short proof.…

We consider parametrized systems of generalized polynomial equations (with real exponents) in $n$ positive variables, involving $m$ monomials with positive parameters; that is, $x\in\mathbb{R}^n_>$ such that ${A \, (c \circ x^B)=0}$ with…

We generalize Gaeta's Theorem to the family of determinantal schemes. In other words, we show that the schemes defined by minors of a fixed size of a matrix with polynomial entries belong to the same G-biliaison class of a complete…

Laplace problems on planar domains can be solved by means of least-squares expansions associated with polynomial or rational approximations. Here it is shown that, even in the context of an analytic domain with analytic boundary data, the…
