The characteristic polynomial for a chain of dipole-dipole coupled two-level atoms with nearest-neighbour and next-nearest-neighbour interactions is developed for the study of eigenvalues and eigenvectors for single-photon excitations. We…
We find a class of block graphs whose binomial edge ideals have minimal regularity. As a consequence, we characterize the trees whose binomial edge ideals have minimal regularity. Also, we show that the binomial edge ideal of a block graph…
Two matrices are said to be principal minor equivalent if they have equal corresponding principal minors of all orders. We give a characterization of principal minor equivalence and a deterministic polynomial time algorithm to check if two…
We show that the sequence of moduli of the eigenvalues of a matrix polynomial is log-majorized, up to universal constants, by a sequence of "tropical roots" depending only on the norms of the matrix coefficients. These tropical roots are…
We present and analyse a Monte-Carlo algorithm to compute the minimal polynomial of an $n\times n$ matrix over a finite field that requires $O(n^3)$ field operations and O(n) random vectors, and is well suited for successful practical…
A characteristic pair is a pair (G,C) of polynomial sets in which G is a reduced lexicographic Groebner basis, C is the minimal triangular set contained in G, and C is normal. In this paper, we show that any finite polynomial set P can be…
The notion of root polynomials of a polynomial matrix $P(\lambda)$ was thoroughly studied in [F. Dopico and V. Noferini, Root polynomials and their role in the theory of matrix polynomials, Linear Algebra Appl. 584:37--78, 2020]. In this…
We study an infinite class of sequences of sparse polynomials that have binomial coefficients both as exponents and as coefficients. This generalizes a sequence of sparse polynomials which arises in a natural way as graph theoretic…
Some known results for locating the roots of polynomials are extended to the case of matrix polynomials. In particular, a theorem by A.E. Pellet [Bulletin des Sciences Math\'ematiques, (2), vol 5 (1881), pp.393-395], some results of D.A.…
The minrank of a graph $G$ on the set of vertices $[n]$ over a field $\mathbb{F}$ is the minimum possible rank of a matrix $M\in\mathbb{F}^{n\times n}$ with nonzero diagonal entries such that $M_{i,j}=0$ whenever $i$ and $j$ are distinct…
Eigenvectors associated with non-degenerate eigenvalues are shown to correspond to columns of the adjugate of the characteristic matrix. Degenerate eigenvalues are associated with eigenvectors that correspond to reduced complement tensors…
In this paper, we consider the condition when the characteristic polynomials of the Seidel matrix of the graphs are decomposed into products of linear polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_3$. We also show the equality over $\mathbb{F}_3$ between…
We revisit the notion of root polynomials, thoroughly studied in [F. Dopico and V. Noferini, Root polynomials and their role in the theory of matrix polynomials, Linear Algebra Appl. 584:37--78, 2020] for general polynomial matrices, and…
We give two determinantal representations for a bivariate polynomial. They may be used to compute the zeros of a system of two of these polynomials via the eigenvalues of a two-parameter eigenvalue problem. The first determinantal…
Recently, in a work that grew out of their exploration of interlacing polynomials, Marcus, Spielman and Srivastava and then Marcus studied certain combinatorial polynomial convolutions. These convolutions preserve real-rootedness and…
This paper studies generic and perturbation properties inside the linear space of $m\times (m+n)$ polynomial matrices whose rows have degrees bounded by a given list $d_1, \ldots, d_m$ of natural numbers, which in the particular case $d_1 =…
A new measure called min-max elementwise backward error is introduced for approximate roots of scalar polynomials $p(z)$. Compared with the elementwise relative backward error, this new measure allows for larger relative perturbations on…
Linearized polynomials appear in many different contexts, such as rank metric codes, cryptography and linear sets, and the main issue regards the characterization of the number of roots from their coefficients. Results of this type have…
Extended affine root systems appear as the root systems of extended affine Lie algebras. A subclass of extended affine root systems, whose elements are called ``minimal" turns out to be of special interest mostly because of the geometric…
In this paper, we study functions of the roots of a univariate polynomial in which the roots have a given multiplicity structure $\mu$. Traditionally, root functions are studied via the theory of symmetric polynomials; we extend this theory…
