We study a class of overdetermined algebraic systems of equations. We prove that the number of distinct solutions equals to the maximal possible if and only if certain matrices are commuting and semisimple. This gives a characterization of…

Let $I,J$ be componentwise linear ideals in a polynomial ring $S$. We study necessary and sufficient conditions for $I+J$ to be componentwise linear. We provide a complete characterization when $\dim S=2$. As a consequence, any…

This article studies the equation $[A,B]^k = {\rm Id}_n$ for matrices over $\mathbb{C}$, characterizing the pairs $(k,n)$ for which solutions exist via a classical result of Lam and Leung on sums of roots of unity. The problem is next…

We study rings with infinitely (only finitely) many maximal subrings. We prove that if $M$ is a maximal left/right ideal of a ring $T$ which is not an ideal of $T$, and $R$ is the idealizer of $M$, then $T$ has at least $|R/M|+1$ maximal…

In this paper, we study convolutional codes with a specific cyclic structure. By definition, these codes are left ideals in a certain skew polynomial ring. Using that the skew polynomial ring is isomorphic to a matrix ring we can describe…

The main goal of the paper is the discussion of a deeper interaction between matrix theory over polynomial rings over a field and typical methods of commutative algebra and related algebraic geometry. This is intended in the sense of…

Circulant matrices over finite fields and over commutative finite chain rings have been of interest due to their nice algebraic structures and wide applications. In many cases, such matrices over rings have a closed connection with diagonal…

Motivated by some recent developments in abstract theories of quadratic forms, we start to develop in this work an expansion of Linear Algebra to multivalued structures (a multialgebraic structure is essentially an algebraic structure but…

We discuss various methods and their effectiveness for solving linear equations over finitely generated abelian groups. More precisely, if $\varphi\colon G\to H$ is a homomorphism of finitely generated abelian groups and $b\in H$, we…

For a subset $B$ of $\mathbb{R}$, denote by $\operatorname{U}(B)$ be the semiring of (univariate) polynomials in $\mathbb{R}[X]$ that are strictly positive on $B$. Let $\mathbb{N}[X]$ be the semiring of (univariate) polynomials with…

Regularization techniques are widely employed in optimization-based approaches for solving ill-posed inverse problems in data analysis and scientific computing. These methods are based on augmenting the objective with a penalty function,…

In earlier work, the author classified rigid representations of a quiver by finitely generated free modules over a principal ideal ring. Here we extend the results to representations of a quiver by finitely generated projective modules over…

We prove that the variety V of commutative multiplicatively idempotent semirings satisfying x + y + xyz = x + y is generated by single semirings. Moreover, we describe a normal form system for terms in V and we show that the word problem in…

It is well known that the full matrix ring over a skew-field is a simple ring. We generalize this theorem to the case of semirings. We characterize the case when the matrix semiring $\mathbf{M}_n(S)$, of all $n\times n$ matrices over a…

When studying the properties of a ring $R$, it is often useful to compare $R$ to other rings whose properties are already known. In this paper, we define three ways in which a subring $R$ might be compared to a larger ring $T$: being…

Let $R$ be a local principal ideal ring of length two, for example, the ring $R=\Z/p^2\Z$ with $p$ prime. In this paper we develop a theory of normal forms for similarity classes in the matrix rings $M_n(R)$ by interpreting them in terms of…

In this note we develop a coalgebraic approach to the study of solutions of linear difference equations over modules and rings. Some known results about linearly recursive sequences over base fields are generalized to linearly (bi)recursive…
