For any real division algebra A of finite dimension greater than one, the signs of the determinants of left multiplication and right multiplication by a non-zero element are shown to form an invariant of A, called its double sign. The…

Let $(s_n)_{n\ge 0}$ denote an indeterminate Hamburger moment sequence and let $\mathcal H=\{s_{m+n}\}$ be the corresponding positive definite Hankel matrix. We consider the question if there exists an infinite symmetric matrix $\mathcal…

Let $\pi(A)$, $\xi(A)$ and $\nu(A)$, respectively, denote the number of positive, zero and negative eigenvalues of the matrix $A$. Then the triplet $(\pi(A), \xi(A), \nu(A))$ is called the \emph{inertia} of $A$ and is denoted by…

An involution of a real commutative algebra $A$ is a real-linear homomorphism $f : A \rightarrow A$ such that $f^2 = \mathrm{Id}$. We show that there are six involutions of the algebra of bicomplex numbers, contrary to the actual number of…

A real square matrix $A$ of order $n \times n~ (n \geq 3)$ is called an $F_0$-matrix, if it is a $Z$-matrix (off-diagonal entries nonpositive), all of whose principal submatrices of orders at most $n-2$ are $M$-matrices while there is at…

For an $n \times n$ matrix $A$, let $q(A)$ be the number of distinct eigenvalues of $A$. If $G$ is a connected graph on $n$ vertices, let $\mathcal{S}(G)$ be the set of all real symmetric $n \times n$ matrices $A=[a_{ij}]$ such that for…

A Hopf bifurcation criterion of fractional-order systems with order 1 < {\alpha} < 2 is established in this paper, in which all conditions are explicitly expressed by parameters without solving the roots of the relevant characteristic…

A positive definiteness criterion and, under the additional conditions, a nonnegativity criterion for a self-adjoint continuous operator matrix, acting in product of an arbitrary number of real separable Hilbert spaces, are obtained. As…

The sign patterns of inverse doubly-nonnegative matrices are examined. A necessary and sufficient condition is developed for a sign matrix to correspond to an inverse doubly-nonnegative matrix. In addition, for a doubly-nonnegative matrix…

In this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a real symmetric matrix, and in particular, for the distance matrix $D(H_n)$ of a helm graph $H_n$ to have their Moore-Penrose inverses as the sum of a symmetric Laplacian-like…

Let $A$ be a nonempty subset of finite abelian group $G$ of order $n$. For an integer $h \geq 2$, the restricted $h$-fold sumset $h^\wedge A$ is the set of all sums of $h$ distinct elements of $A$. It is known that if $G$ is a group of…

Let $F_n$ be an $n$ by $n$ symmetric matrix whose entries are bounded by $n^{\gamma}$ for some $\gamma>0$. Consider a randomly perturbed matrix $M_n=F_n+X_n$, where $X_n$ is a random symmetric matrix whose upper diagonal entries $x_{ij}$…

Discrete time evolution of one-dimensional maps is embedded in continuous time by truncating the Taylor series expansion of the time evolution operator to a finite order N. Truncations with N > 4 leads to unconditional instability.…

The irreducible representations (irreps) of the Hecke algebra $H_n(q)$ are shown to be completely characterized by the fundamental invariant of this algebra, $C_n$. This fundamental invariant is related to the quadratic Casimir operator,…

Let S be a K3 surface and S^[n] the Hilbert scheme of length n subschemes of S. Over the cartesian square of S^[n] there exists a natural reflexive rank 2n-2 coherent sheaf E, which is locally free away from the diagonal. The fiber of E,…

The Horn inequalities characterise the possible spectra of triples of $n$-by-$n$ Hermitian matrices $A+B=C$. We study integral inequalities that arise as limits of Horn inequalities as $n \to \infty$. These inequalities are parametrised by…

For every odd prime $p$ and every integer $n\geq 12$ there is a Heisenberg group of order $p^{5n/4+O(1)}$ that has $p^{n^2/24+O(n)}$ pairwise nonisomorphic quotients of order $p^{n}$. Yet, these quotients are virtually indistinguishable.…

Sylvester's law of inertia states that the number of positive, negative and zero eigenvalues of Hermitian matrices is preserved under congruence transformations. The same is true of generalized Hermitian definite eigenvalue problems, in…
