The complete eigenstructure, or structural data, of a rational matrix $R(s)$ is comprised by its invariant rational functions, both finite and at infinity, which in turn determine its finite and infinite pole and zero structures,…

We study the combinatorial and algebraic properties of Nonnegative Matrices. Our results are divided into three different categories. 1. We show a quantitative generalization of the 100 year-old Perron-Frobenius theorem, a fundamental…

Numerical radius $r(A)$ is the radius of the smallest ball with the center at zero containing the field of values of a given square matrix $A$. It is well known that $r(A)\leq \|A\| \leq 2r(A)$, where $\| \cdot \|$ is the matrix 2-norm.…
