If an n-side unit regular polygon is divided into m equal sized parts, then what is the minimum length of the split line ${l_{m,n}}$? This problem has its practical application in real world. This paper proved that ${l_{2,3}} = \sqrt…

Let ${\mathcal S}_m$ be the set of all $m\times m$ density matrices (Hermitian positively semi-definite matrices of unit trace). Consider a problem of estimation of an unknown density matrix $\rho\in {\mathcal S}_m$ based on outcomes of $n$…

We use nearly parallel pure states to characterize positive linear functionals $\phi$ on $\mathbb{M}_n$ as positive multiples of the trace if and only if $\phi(A \natural B) \leq \sqrt{\phi(A) \phi(B)}$ for all positive definite matrices…

Given an $m\times n$ binary matrix $M$ with $|M|=p\cdot mn$ (where $|M|$ denotes the number of 1 entries), define the discrepancy of $M$ as $\mbox{disc}(M)=\displaystyle\max_{X\subset [m], Y\subset [n]}\big||M[X\times Y]|-p|X|\cdot…

Let $M_n$ denote a random symmetric $n \times n$ matrix whose upper diagonal entries are independent and identically distributed Bernoulli random variables (which take values $1$ and $-1$ with probability $1/2$ each). It is widely…

In the recent years, the trace norm of graphs has been extensively studied under the name of graph energy. The trace norm is just one of the Ky Fan k-norms, given by the sum of the k largest singular values, which are studied more generally…

Given a matrix $M = (a_{i,j})$ a square is a $2 \times 2$ submatrix with entries $a_{i,j}$, $a_{i, j+s}$, $a_{i+s, j}$, $a_{i+s, j +s}$ for some $s \geq 1$, and a zero-sum square is a square where the entries sum to $0$. Recently,…

We study the matrix discrepancy problem in the average-case setting. Given a sequence of $m \times m$ symmetric matrices $A_1,\ldots,A_n$, its discrepancy is defined as the minimal spectral norm over all signed sums $\sum_{i=1}^n x_iA_i$…

Any associative bilinear multiplication on the set of n-by-n matrices over some field of characteristic not two, that makes the same vectors orthogonal and has the same trace as ordinary matrix multiplication, must be ordinary matrix…

Let $M_n$ be an $n$ by $n$ random matrix where each entry is +1 or -1 independently with probability 1/2. Our main result implies that the probability that $M_n$ is singular is at most $(1/\sqrt{2} + o(1))^n$, improving on the previous best…

The \textit{sepr-sequence} of an $n\times n$ real matrix $A$ is $(s_1,\ldots,s_n)$, where $s_k$ is the subset of those signs of $+,-,0$ that appear in the values of the $k\times k$ principal minors of $A$. The $12\times 12$ matrix…

The trace algebra C(n,d) over a field of characteristic 0 is generated by all traces of products of d generic nxn matrices, n,d>1. Minimal sets of generators of C(n,d) are known for n=2 and n=3 for any d as well as for n=4 and n=5 and d=2.…
