For a nonnegative matrix A and real diagonal matrix D, two known inequalities on the spectral radius, r(A^2 D^2) >= r(AD)^2 and r(A) r(A D^2) >= r(AD)^2, leave open the question of what determines the order of r(A^2 D^2) with respect to…

We prove an inequality for the spectral radius of products of non-negative matrices conjectured by X. Zhan. We show that for all $n\times n$ non-negative matrices $A$ and $B$, $\rho(A\circ B)\le\rho((A\circ A)(B\circ B))^{1/2}\le\rho(AB)$,…

Given a subset $\mathbf{S}=\{A_1, \dots, A_m\}$ of $\mathbb{S}^n$, the set of $n \times n$ real symmetric matrices, we define its {\it spectrahull} as the set $SH(\mathbf{S}) = \{p(X) \equiv (Tr(A_1 X), \dots, Tr(A_m X))^T : X \in…

A square matrix of order n with $n\geq 2$ is called permutative matrix when all its rows (up to the frst one) are permutations of precisely its frst row. In this paper recalling spectral results for partitioned into $2$-by-$2$ symmetric…

A spectrahedron is the feasible set of a semidefinite program, SDP, i.e., the intersection of an affine set with the positive semidefinite cone. While strict feasibility is a generic property for random problems, there are many classes of…

We axiomatize and study the matrices of type $H\in M_N(A)$, having unitary entries, $H_{ij}\in U(A)$, and whose rows and columns are subject to orthogonality type conditions. Here $A$ can be any $C^*$-algebra, for instance $A=\mathbb C$,…

In this paper we show how to construct diagonal scalings for arbitrary matrix pencils $\lambda B-A$, in which both $A$ and $B$ are complex matrices (square or nonsquare). The goal of such diagonal scalings is to "balance" in some sense the…

Our goal is to study statistical properies of "dielectric resonances" which are poles of conductance of a large random $LC$ network. Such poles are a particular example of eigenvalues $\lambda_n$ of matrix pencils ${\bf H}-\lambda {\bf W}$,…
