Let $n,p,r$ be positive integers with $n \geq p\geq r$. A rank-$\overline{r}$ subset of $n$ by $p$ matrices (with entries in a field) is a subset in which every matrix has rank less than or equal to $r$. A classical theorem of Flanders…

The problem of finding the maximal dimension of linear or affine subspaces of matrices whose rank is constant, or bounded below, or bounded above, has attracted many mathematicians from the sixties to the present day. The problem has caught…

We use tools of additive combinatorics for the study of subvarieties defined by {\it high rank} families of polynomials in high dimensional $\mathbb{F} _q$-vector spaces. In the first, analytic part of the paper we prove a number properties…

A sparsity pattern in $\mathbb{R}^{n \times m}$, for $m\geq n$, is a vector subspace of matrices admitting a basis consisting of canonical basis vectors in $\mathbb{R}^{n \times m}$. We represent a sparsity pattern by a matrix with…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and ${P_n=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]}$ the polynomial ring. Any $K$-derivation $D$ on $P_n$ is of the form ${ D=\sum_{i=1}^n f_i(x_1,\ldots,x_n)\frac{\partial}{\partial x_i} },$ where…

Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a field, and $n \geq p \geq r>0$ be integers. In a recent article, Rubei has determined, when $\mathbb{F}$ is the field of real numbers, the greatest possible dimension for an affine subspace of $n$--by--$p$ matrices…

In structured system theory, a pattern matrix is a matrix with entries either fixed to zero or free to take arbitrary numbers. The (generic) rank of a pattern matrix is the rank of almost all its realizations. The resilience of various…
