We propose and justify a matrix reduction method for calculating the optimal approximation of an observed matrix $A \in {\mathbb C}^{m \times n}$ by a sum $\sum_{i=1}^p \sum_{j=1}^q B_iX_{ij}C_j$ of matrix products where each $B_i \in…

We study maximal distances in the commuting graphs of matrix algebras defined over algebraically closed fields. In particular, we show that the maximal distance can be attained only between two nonderogatory matrices. We also describe…

Let $n$ be a natural number. Recall that a C*-algebra is said to be $n$-subhomogeneous if all its irreducible representations have dimension at most $n$. In this short note, we give various approximation properties characterising…

The larger the distance to instability from a matrix is, the more robustly stable the associated autonomous dynamical system is in the presence of uncertainties and typically the less severe transient behavior its solution exhibits.…

We extend some classical theorems in the theory of orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle to the matrix case. In particular, we prove a matrix analogue of Szeg\H{o}'s theorem. As a by-product, we also obtain an elementary proof of the…

We realize many sharp spectral bounds of the spectral radius of a nonnegative square matrix $C$ by using the largest real eigenvalues of suitable matrices of smaller sizes related to $C$ that are very easy to find. As applications, we give…

In this paper we study higher-order difference equations which can be written as follows: $$ \mathbf{J} (y_0,y_1,...)^T = \lambda^N (y_0,y_1,...)^T, $$ where $\mathbf{J}$ is a $(2N+1)$-diagonal bounded banded matrix…

We give sufficient conditions allowing one to build a C*-algebraic structure on a self-adjoint linear subspace of a C*-algebra in such a way that the subspace is naturally identified with the resulting C*-algebra via a completely positive…

Newton's inequalities $c_n^2 \ge c_{n-1}c_{n+1}$ are shown to hold for the normalized coefficients $c_n$ of the characteristic polynomial of any $M$- or inverse $M$-matrix. They are derived by establishing first an auxiliary set of…

For $n$-by-$n$ and $m$-by-$m$ complex matrices $A$ and $B$, it is known that the inequality $w(A\otimes B)\le\|A\|w(B)$ holds, where $w(\cdot)$ and $\|\cdot\|$ denote, respectively, the numerical radius and the operator norm of a matrix. In…

We study the best coapproximation problem in the Banach space $ \ell_1^n, $ by using Birkhoff-James orthogonality techniques. Given a subspace $\mathbb{{Y}}$ of $\ell_1^n$, we completely identify the elements $x$ in $\ell_1^n,$ for which…

A metric space $\mathrm{M}=(M,\de)$ is {\em indivisible} if for every colouring $\chi: M\to 2$ there exists $i\in 2$ and a copy $\mathrm{N}=(N, \de)$ of $\mathrm{M}$ in $\mathrm{M}$ so that $\chi(x)=i$ for all $x\in N$. The metric space…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for orbits of commutative Hermann actions and actions of the direct product of two symmetric subgroups on compact Lie groups to be biharmonic in terms of symmetric triad with multiplicities. By…

Let $\bold G$ be a reductive algebraic group defined over $\Q$, and let $\Gamma$ be an arithmetic subgroup of $\bold G(\Q)$. Let $X$ be the symmetric space for $\bold G(\R)$, and assume $X$ is contractible. Then the cohomology (mod torsion)…

We initiate the study of orthogonal forms on a real C$^*$-algebra. Motivated by previous contributions, due to Ylinen, Jajte, Paszkiewicz and Goldstein, we prove that for every continuous orthogonal form $V$ on a commutative real…

This paper is concerned with the distance of a symmetric tridiagonal Toeplitz matrix $T$ to the variety of similarly structured singular matrices, and with determining the closest matrix to $T$ in this variety. Explicit formulas are…

Given a normal matrix $A$ and an arbitrary square matrix $B$ (not necessarily of the same size), what relationships between $A$ and $B$, if any, guarantee that $B$ is also a normal matrix? We provide an answer to this question in terms of…

Let $M^n\ (n\geq3)$ be a complete Riemannian manifold with $\sec_M\geq 1$, and let $M_i^{n_i}$ ($i=1,2$) be two comlplete totally geodesic submanifolds in $M$. We prove that if $n_1+n_2=n-2$ and if the distance $|M_1M_2|\geq\frac{\pi}{2}$,…

We find expressions for the Gateaux derivative of the matrix norms in operator spaces, and operator systems. Some applications of the results to quantum probability measures, states on C$^*$-algebras, and Birkhoff-James orthogonality are…

The validity conditions for the extended Birkhoff theorem in multidimensional gravity with $n$ internal spaces are formulated, with no restriction on space-time dimensionality and signature. Examples of matter sources and geometries for…
