Consider the ensemble of Real Symmetric Toeplitz Matrices, each entry iidrv from a fixed probability distribution p of mean 0, variance 1, and finite higher moments. The limiting spectral measure (the density of normalized eigenvalues)…
In this paper, we introduce a particular class of matrices. We study the concept of a matrix to be \emph{balanced}. We study some properties of this concept in the context of matrix operations. We examine the behaviour of various matrix…
Pairwise comparison matrix as a crucial component of AHP, presents the prefer- ence relations among alternatives. However, in many cases, the pairwise comparison matrix is difficult to complete, which obstructs the subsequent operations of…
Many unconventional computing models, including some that appear to be quite different from traditional ones such as Turing machines, happen to characterise either the complexity class P or PSPACE when working in deterministic polynomial…
Consistent approximations obtained by geometric means ($GM$) and the principal eigenvector ($EV$), turned out to be close enough for 1,000,000 not-so-inconsistent pairwise comparisons matrices. In this respect both methods are accurate…
Toeplitz matrices are ubiquitous and play important roles across many areas of mathematics. In this paper, we present some algebraic results concerning block Toeplitz matrices with block entries belonging to a commutative algebra $\AA$. The…
A quasi-Toeplitz (QT) matrix is a semi-infinite matrix of the form $A=T(a)+E$ where $T(a)$ is the Toeplitz matrix with entries $(T(a))_{i,j}=a_{j-i}$, for $a_{j-i}\in\mathbb C$, $i,j\ge 1$, while $E$ is a matrix representing a compact…

Matrices are typically considered over fields or rings. Motivated by applications in parametric differential equations and data-driven modeling, we suggest to study matrices with entries from a Hilbert space and present an elementary theory…
We consider partial symmetric Toeplitz matrices where a positive definite completion exists. We characterize those patterns where the maximum determinant completion is itself Toeplitz. We then extend these results with positive definite…
We give lower bounds on the largest singular value of arbitrary matrices, some of which are asymptotically tight for almost all matrices. To study when these bounds are exact, we introduce several combinatorial concepts. In particular, we…
The Cooperative Patent Classifications (CPC) jointly developed by the European and US Patent Offices provide a new basis for mapping and portfolio analysis. This update provides an occasion for rethinking the parameter choices. The new maps…

Thurstonian and Bradley-Terry models are the most commonly applied models in the analysis of paired comparison data. Since their introduction, numerous developments have been proposed in different areas. This paper provides an updated…
Iterative methods based on matrix splittings are useful in solving large sparse linear systems. In this direction, proper splittings and its several extensions are used to deal with singular and rectangular linear systems. In this article,…

We study the eigenvalue problem for some special class of anti-triangular matrices. Though the eigenvalue problem is quite classical, as far as we know, almost nothing is known about properties of eigenvalues for anti-triangular matrices.…
A problem that is frequently encountered in a variety of mathematical contexts, is to find the common invariant subspaces of a single, or set of matrices. A new method is proposed that gives a definitive answer to this problem. The key idea…
