The largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a network plays an important role in several network processes (e.g., synchronization of oscillators, percolation on directed networks, linear stability of equilibria of network coupled…

This paper addresses two different but related questions regarding an unbounded symmetric tridiagonal operator: its self-adjointness and the approximation of its spectrum by the eigenvalues of its finite truncations. The sufficient…

We consider first-order differential operators with locally bounded measurable coefficients on vector bundles with measurable coefficient metrics. Under a mild set of assumptions, we demonstrate the equivalence between the essential…

A new proof for adjoint systems of linear equations is presented. The argument is built on the principles of Algorithmic Differentiation. Application to scalar multiplication sets the base line. Generalization yields adjoint inner vector,…

We prove conditions for equality between the extreme eigenvalues of a matrix and its quotient. In particular, we give a lower bound on the largest singular value of a matrix and generalize a result of Finck and Grohmann about the largest…

This paper is concerned with the characterizations of quasi self-adjoint extensions of a class of formally non-self-adjoint discrete Hamiltonian systems. Some properties of the solutions and the characterization of the minimal linear…

We introduce the triangulant of two matrices, and relate it to the existence of orthogonal eigenvectors. We also use it for a new characterization of mutually unbiased bases. Generalizing the notion, we introduce higher order triangulants…

An oriented hypergraph is an oriented incidence structure that generalizes and unifies graph and hypergraph theoretic results by examining its locally signed graphic substructure. In this paper we obtain a combinatorial characterization of…

Differential completions and compactifications of differential spaces are introduced and investigated. The existence of the maximal differential completion and the maximal differential compactification is proved. A sufficient condition for…

In this paper we characterize the definiteness of the discrete symplectic system, study a nonhomogeneous discrete symplectic system, and introduce the minimal and maximal linear relations associated with these systems. Fundamental…

The problem of approximating the discrete spectra of families of self-adjoint operators that are merely strongly continuous is addressed. It is well-known that the spectrum need not vary continuously (as a set) under strong perturbations.…

We present a novel class of real symmetric matrices in arbitrary dimension $d$, linearly dependent on a parameter $x$. The matrix elements satisfy a set of nontrivial constraints that arise from asking for commutation of pairs of such…

Typically, graph structures are represented by one of three different matrices: the adjacency matrix, the unnormalised and the normalised graph Laplacian matrices. The spectral (eigenvalue) properties of these different matrices are…

We determine the existential completion of a primary doctrine, and we prove that the 2-monad obtained from it is lax-idempotent, and that the 2-category of existential doctrines is isomorphic to the 2-category of algebras for this 2-monad.…

We study rings of real-valued continuous functions in terms of pseudocomplementation conditions on various lattices attached to their prime spectrum. We fully characterize pseudocomplementation in all cases and have an almost complete…

We study the algebraic matroid induced by the ideal of (r+1)-minors of a matrix of variables over a field. This is inherently connected to the bounded-rank matrix completion problem, in which the aim is to complete a partially observed rank…

We show that an adjoint of a loopless matroid is connected if and only if it itself is connected. Our first goal is to study the adjoint of modular matroids. We prove that a modular matroid has only one adjoint (up to isomorphism) which can…

We construct an abelian category C and exact functors in C which on the Grothendieck group descend to the action of a simply-laced quantum group in its adjoint representation. The braid group action in the adjoint representation lifts to an…

This paper has two parts. In the first part we recall the important role that weak proregularity of an ideal in a commutative ring has in derived completion and in adic flatness. We also introduce the new concepts of idealistic and…

We exhibit an adjunction between a category of abstract algebras of partial functions and a category of set quotients. The algebras are those atomic algebras representable as a collection of partial functions closed under relative…
