We present a prescription for forming matrices with specified eigenvalues and known eigenvectors. With this method, we can form Hermitian, anti-Hermitian, symmetric and general matrices with arbitrary eigenvalues. In addition we propose an…
Positive semidefinite Hermitian matrices that are not fully specified can be completed provided their underlying graph is chordal. If the matrix is positive definite the completion can be uniquely characterized as the matrix that maximizes…
We propose to consider a mutual incidence matrix $M$ of two balanced incomplete block designs built on the same finite set. In the simplest case, this matrix reduces to the standard incidence matrix of one block design. We find all…
This text, which appeared in volume 2313 of the Springer Lecture Notes in Math. dedicated to Catriona Byrne, presents problems in two different areas of algebraic geometry. The first concerns the role of ``infinitely singular'' or ``non…
In the paper we provide some polynomial identities for finite-dimensional algebras. A list of well known single polynomial identities is exposed and the classification of all $2$-dimensional algebras with respect to these identities is…
A unified theory of orthogonal polynomials of a discrete variable is presented through the eigenvalue problem of hermitian matrices of finite or infinite dimensions. It can be considered as a matrix version of exactly solvable Schr\"odinger…
A new property, the strong singular value property, is introduced, developed, and utilized to study the problem of which lists of nonnegative real numbers occur as the singular values of a matrix with a prescribed zero-nonzero pattern.
We review some of the recent developments in two dimensional statistical mechanics in which corner transfer matrices provide the vital link between the physical system and the representation theory of quantum affine algebras. This opens…
This article has two interpenetrating motifs. One is an exposition of some major ideas and techniques behind the use of block matrices, and especially their positivity properties. This is done by focussing on one major problem:…
The existence and construction of common invariant cones for families of real matrices is considered. The complete results are obtained for 2x2 matrices (with no additional restrictions) and for families of simultaneously diagonalizable…
In this paper we express the eigenvalues of a sort of real heptadiagonal symmetric matrices as the zeros of explicit rational functions establishing upper and lower bounds for each of them. From these prescribed eigenvalues we compute also…
In this paper we consider pentadiagonal $(n+1)\times(n+1)$ matrices with two subdiagonals and two superdiagonals at distances $k$ and $2k$ from the main diagonal where $1\le k<2k\le n$. We give an explicit formula for their determinants and…
We study one-dimensional integral inequalities, with quadratic integrands, on bounded domains. Conditions for these inequalities to hold are formulated in terms of function matrix inequalities which must hold in the domain of integration.…
We follow a stream of the history of positive matrices and positive functionals, as applied to algebraic sums of squares decompositions, with emphasis on the interaction between classical moment problems, function theory of one or several…
We review our recent results on pseudo-hermitian random matrix theory which were hitherto presented in various conferences and talks. (Detailed accounts of our work will appear soon in separate publications.) Following an introduction of…
We present some new inequalities related to determinant and trace for positive semidefinite block matrices by using symmetric tensor product, which are extensions of Fiedler-Markham's inequality and Thompson's inequality.
We establish necessary and sufficient conditions on simultaneous symplectic spectral decomposition of a family of $2n \times 2n$ real positive semidefinite matrices with symplectic kernels. We also provide a precise algebraic condition on a…
We generalize several inequalities involving powers of the numerical radius for off-diagonal part of $2\times2$ operator matrices of the form $T=\left[\begin{array}{cc} 0&B, C&0 \end{array}\right]$, where $B, C$ are two operators. In…
In this article, we show multiple inequalities for the singular values of the difference of matrix means. The obtained results refine and complement some well established results in the literature. Although we target singular values…
In this note, simple proofs of certain well-known results involving the positive square root of positive matrices are given.
