Let M be a b*b nonzero {0,1}-matrix. Let \rho(M) be its spectral radius and let |M^n| be the norm of its n-th iteration. In the case \rho(M)>1, we see from the spectral radius formula that {|M^n|}_{n=1}^\infty tends to \infty exponentially…

An $F$-algebra $A$ with unit $1$ is said to be a locally matrix algebra if an arbitrary finite collection of elements $a_1,$ $\ldots,$ $a_s $ from $ A$ lies in a subalgebra $B$ with $1$ of the algebra $A$, that is isomorphic to a matrix…

We define a monodromy, directly from the spectrum of small non-selfadjoint perturbations of a selfadjoint semiclassical operator with two degrees of freedom, which is classically integrable. It is a combinatorial invariant that obstructs…

We consider unimodular matrices $M$ such that neither $M$ nor $M^{-1}$ contain zero entries. Matrices typically exhibit a trade-off: small $M$ imply large $M^{-1}$. We investigate rare cases where both remain small, classify these matrices…

It is well known that a non-negative definite polynomial matrix (a polynomial Gramian) $G(t)$ can be written as a product of its polynomial spectral factors, $G(t) = X(t)^H X(t)$. In this paper, we give a new algebraic characterization of…

We characterize the spectrum (and its parts) of operators which can be represented as G=A+BC for a simpler operator A and a structured perturbation BC. The interest in this kind of perturbations is motivated, e.g., by perturbations of the…

Suppose that $T_n$ is a Toeplitz matrix whose entries come from a sequence of independent but not necessarily identically distributed random variables with mean zero. Under some additional tail conditions, we show that the spectral norm of…

We prove that if $F$ is a Lipschitz map from the set of all complex $n\times n$ matrices into itself with $F(0)=0$ such that given any $x$ and $y$ we have that $% F\left( x\right) -F\left( y\right) $ and $x-y$ have at least one common…

A matroid of rank $r$ on $n$ elements is a positroid if it has a representation by an $r$ by $n$ matrix over $\mathbb{R}$, each $r$ by $r$ submatrix of which has nonnegative determinant. Earlier characterizations of connected positroids and…
