Let $V$ be a left vector space over a division ring and let ${\mathcal P}(V)$ be the associated projective space. We describe all finite subsets $X\subset V$ such that every permutation on $X$ can be extended to a linear automorphism of $V$…
Birkhoff polytope is the set of all bistochastic matrices (also known as doubly stochastic matrices). Bistochastic matrices form a special class of stochastic matrices where each row and column sums up to one. Permutation matrices and…
A very simple and short proof of the polynomial matrix spectral factorization theorem (on the unit circle as well as on the real line) is presented, which relies on elementary complex analysis and linear algebra.
If a tuple of matrices has a common invariant subspace, its projective joint spectrum has an algebraic component. In general, the converse is not true, and there might be algebraic components in the projective joint spectrum without…
The main result of the note describes certain optimal-score partitions, which can be interpreted as optimal resource allocations. This result is based on the fact that any nonnegative square matrix whose column sums are the same as the…
A matrix polynomial is a polynomial in a complex variable $\lambda$ with coefficients in $n \times n$ complex matrices. The spectral curve of a matrix polynomial $P(\lambda)$ is the curve $\{ (\lambda, \mu) \in \mathbb{C}^2 \mid…
It is proved that each of compact linear groups of one special type admits a polynomial factorization map onto a real vector space. More exactly, the group is supposed to be non-commutative one-dimensional and to have two connected…
A matrix is totally positive if all of its minors are positive. This notion of positivity coincides with the type A version of Lusztig's more general total positivity in reductive real-split algebraic groups. Since skew-symmetric matrices…
A non-Hermitean random matrix model proposed a few years ago has a remarkably intricate spectrum. Various attempts have been made to understand the spectrum, but even its dimension is not known. Using the Dyson-Schmidt equation, we show…
We present a complex frame of eleven vectors in 4-space and prove that it defines injective measurements. That is, any rank-one $4\times 4$ Hermitian matrix is uniquely determined by its values as a Hermitian form on this collection of…
We define a magic square to be a square matrix whose entries are nonnegative integers and whose rows, columns, and main diagonals sum up to the same number. We prove structural results for the number of such squares as a function of the…
We realize many sharp spectral bounds of the spectral radius of a nonnegative square matrix $C$ by using the largest real eigenvalues of suitable matrices of smaller sizes related to $C$ that are very easy to find. As applications, we give…
We develop a procedure for determining whether a square complex matrix is unitarily equivalent to a complex symmetric (i.e., self-transpose) matrix. Our approach has several advantages over existing methods. We discuss these differences and…
Given a matrix with partitions of its rows and columns and entries from a field, we give the necessary and sufficient conditions that it has a non--singular submatrix with certain number of rows from each row partition and certain number of…
Every polynomial of the form $P=(x+1)(x^{n-1}+c_1x^{n-2}+\cdots +c_{n-1})$ is representable as Schur-Szeg\H{o} composition of $n-1$ polynomials of the form $(x+1)^{n-1}(x+a_i)$, where the numbers $a_i$ are unique up to permutation. We give…
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…
If every element of a matrix group is similar to a permutation matrix, then it is called a permutation-like matrix group. References [4] and [5] showed that, if a permutation-like matrix group contains a maximal cycle of length equal to a…
A permutation polytope is the convex hull of a group of permutation matrices. In this paper we investigate the combinatorics of permutation polytopes and their faces. As applications we completely classify permutation polytopes in…
An invertible matrix is called a Perron similarity if it diagonalizes an irreducible, nonnegative matrix. Each Perron similarity gives a nontrivial polyhedral cone, called the spectracone, and polytope, called the spectratope, of realizable…
We associate with a matrix over an arbitrary field an infinite family of matrices whose sizes vary from one to infinity; their entries are traces of powers of the original matrix. We explicitly evaluate the determinants of matrices in our…
