A symmetric matrix $A$ is completely positive (CP) if there exists an entrywise nonnegative matrix $B$ such that $A = BB^T$. We characterize the interior of the CP cone. A semidefinite algorithm is proposed for checking interiors of the CP…
In this article we consider products of real random matrices with fixed size. Let $A_1,A_2, \dots $ be i.i.d $k \times k$ real matrices, whose entries are independent and identically distributed from probability measure $\mu$. Let $X_n =…
Let p$\ge$2 be a given prime number. We prove, for any number field kappa and any integer e$\ge$1, the p-rank $\epsilon$-conjecture, on the p-class groups Cl\_F, for the family F\_kappa^p^e of towers F/kappa built as successive degree p…
In this paper we settle a weak version of a conjecture (i.e. Conjecture 6) by Mills, Robbins and Rumsey in the paper "Self-complementary totally symmetric plane partitions" (J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 42, 277-292). In other words we show that…
We give partial results on the factorization conjecture on codes proposed by Schutzenberger. We consider finite maximal codes C over the alphabet A = {a, b} with C \cap a^* = a^p, for a prime number p. Let P, S in Z <A>, with S = S_0 + S_1,…
The log-rank conjecture is a longstanding open problem with multiple equivalent formulations in complexity theory and mathematics. In its linear-algebraic form, it asserts that the rank and partitioning number of a Boolean matrix are…
In this paper, we discuss several additional properties a power linear Keller map may have. The Structural Conjecture by Druzkowski in [Dru] asserts that two such properties are equivalent, but we show that one of this properties is…
We discuss several conjectures about the real-rootedness of polynomials whose coefficients are determinants of coefficients of a real-rooted polynomial. We also consider some questions about matrices generalizing totally positive matrices,…
We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an LU factorization $A=LU$ for an arbitrary square matrix $A$, including singular and rank-deficient cases, without the use of row or column permutations. We prove that…
Let $(X_{jk})_{j,k\geq 1}$ be an infinite array of i.i.d. complex random variables, with mean 0 and variance 1. Let $\la_{n,1},...,\la_{n,n}$ be the eigenvalues of $(\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}X_{jk})_{1\leq j,k\leq n}$. The strong circular law…
Recently, Andrews, Chan, Kim and Osburn introduced a $q$-series $h(q)$ for the study of the first positive rank and crank moments for overpartitions. They conjectured that for all integers $m \geq 3$, \begin{equation*}\label{hqcon}…
All $\textrm{SL}(n)$ contravariant matrix-valued valuations on polytopes in $\mathbb{R}^n$ are completely classified without any continuity assumptions. Moreover, the symmetry assumption of matrices is removed. The general Lutwak-Yang-Zhang…
An operator convex function on (0,\infty) which satisfies the symmetry condition k(1/x) = x k(x) can be used to define a type of non-commutative multiplication by a positive definite matrix (or its inverse) using the primitive concepts of…
In this work, new closed-form formulas for the matrix exponential are provided. Our method is direct and elementary, it gives tractable and manageable formulas not current in the extensive literature on this essential subject. Moreover,…
An $n\times n$ matrix $X$ is called completely positive semidefinite (cpsd) if there exist $d\times d$ Hermitian positive semidefinite matrices $\{P_i\}_{i=1}^n$ (for some $d\ge 1$) such that $X_{ij}= {\rm Tr}(P_iP_j),$ for all $i,j \in \{…
Entangled states with a positive partial transpose (PPTES) have interest both in quantum information and in the theory of positive maps. In $3\otimes 3$ there is a conjecture by Sanpera, Bru{\ss} and Lewenstein [PRA, 63, 050301] that all…
We investigate linear maps between matrix algebras that remain positive under tensor powers, i.e., under tensoring with $n$ copies of themselves. Completely positive and completely co-positive maps are trivial examples of this kind. We show…
Jacobian conjectures (that nonsingular implies invertible) for rational everywhere defined maps of real n-space to itself are considered, with no requirement for a constant Jacobian determinant or a rational inverse. The associated…
Jacobian conjectures (that nonsingular implies a global inverse) for rational everywhere defined maps of real n-space to itself are considered, with no requirement for a constant Jacobian determinant or a rational inverse. The birational…
Log-concavity and almost log-convexity of the cycle index polynomials were proved by Bender and Canfield [J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 74 (1996)]. Schirmacher [J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 85 (1999)] extended them to $q$-log-concavity and almost…
