We study the limiting spectral measure of large random Helson matrices and large random matrices of certain patterned structures. Given a real random variable $X \in L^{2+ \varepsilon}(\mathbb{P}) $ for some $\varepsilon > 0$ and…
We study the Identity Problem, the problem of determining if a finitely generated semigroup of matrices contains the identity matrix; see Problem 3 (Chapter 10.3) in ``Unsolved Problems in Mathematical Systems and Control Theory'' by…
Consider a bounded symmetric domain $\Omega$ with a finite pseudo-reflection group acting on it as a subgroup of the group of automorphisms. This gives rise to quotient domains by means of basic polynomials $\theta$ which by virtue of being…
Nonlinear statistics (i.e. statistics of permanents) on the eigenvalues of invariant random matrix models are considered for the three Dyson's symmetry classes $\beta=1,2,4$. General formulas in terms of hyperdeterminants are found for…
We consider sets and maps defined over an o-minimal structure over the reals, such as real semi-algebraic or subanalytic sets. A {\em monotone map} is a multi-dimensional generalization of a usual univariate monotone function, while the…
Ortega-Cerd\`a -- Seip demonstrated that there are bounded multiplicative Hankel forms which do not arise from bounded symbols. On the other hand, when such a form is in the Hilbert-Schmidt class $\mathcal{S}_2$, Helson showed that it has a…
We propose two different strategies to find eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a given, not necessarily Hermitian, matrix $A$. Our methods apply also to the case of complex eigenvalues, making the strategies interesting for applications to…
We address facts and open questions concerning the degree of ill-posedness of the composite Hausdorff moment problem aimed at the recovery of a function $x \in L^2(0,1)$ from elements of the infinite dimensional sequence space $\ell^2$ that…
We initiate the study of the norm-squared of the momentum map as a rigorous tool in infinite dimensions. In particular, we calculate the Hessian at a critical point, show that it is positive semi-definite along the complexified orbit, and…
In this paper, we study the truncated matrix moment problem in one variable through recursive matrix extensions. \ We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a recursive matrix extension of finite data to be a matrix moment sequence in…
We study the closure of the projection of the (nonconvex) cone of rank restricted positive semidefinite matrices onto subsets of the matrix entries. This defines the feasible sets for semidefinite completion problems with restrictions on…
Let $\mathcal{H}$ and $\mathcal{H}_0$ be Hilbert spaces and $\{A_n\}_n$ be a sequence of bounded linear operators from $\mathcal{H}$ to $\mathcal{H}_0$. The study frames for Hilbert spaces initiated the study of operators of the form…
Given an element $f$ in a regular local ring, we study matrix factorizations of $f$ with $d \ge 2$ factors, that is, we study tuples of square matrices $(\varphi_1,\varphi_2,\dots,\varphi_d)$ such that their product is $f$ times an identity…
In this paper we study how perturbing a matrix changes its non-negative rank. We prove that the non-negative rank is upper-semicontinuos and we describe some special families of perturbations. We show how our results relate to Statistics in…
Tensors, or multi-linear forms, are important objects in a variety of areas from analytics, to combinatorics, to computational complexity theory. Notions of tensor rank aim to quantify the "complexity" of these forms, and are thus also…
A rectangular matrix is called totally positive, if all its minors are positive. A point of a real Grassmanian manifold $G_{l,m}$ of $l$-dimensional subspaces in $\mathbb R^m$ is called strictly totally positive, if one can normalize its…
The prevalence of hidden Markov models (HMMs) in various applications of statistical signal processing and communications is a testament to the power and flexibility of the model. In this paper, we link the identifiability problem with…
Inspired by Borcherds' questions, Guerzhoy constructed a new type of Hecke operators $\mathcal{T}(p)$, called the multiplicative Hecke operators, which acts on the space of meromorphic modular forms on the full modular group ${\rm SL}(\Z)$.…
We investigate convex polytopes of doubly stochastic matrices having special structures: symmetric, Hankel symmetric, centrosymmetric, and both symmetric and Hankel symmetric. We determine dimensions of these polytopes and classify their…
A randomized algorithm for computing a compressed representation of a given rank-structured matrix $A \in \mathbb{R}^{N\times N}$ is presented. The algorithm interacts with $A$ only through its action on vectors. Specifically, it draws two…
