This note deals with a simultaneous approximation of several matrices by a finite family of diagonalizable matrices satisfying an additional condition for the spectrum of a matrix product. That is the simplicity of all eigenvalues.

In this paper, a matrix is said to be prime if the row and column of this matrix are both prime numbers. We establish various necessary and sufficient conditions for developing matrices into the sum of tensor products of prime matrices. For…

We consider polynomial maps described by so-called "(multivariate) linearized polynomials". These polynomials are defined using a fixed prime power, say q. Linearized polynomials have no mixed terms. Considering invertible polynomial maps…

Let F be a perfect field. Then the diagonal quadratic form $a_iX_i^2$ over $F$ is universal over $M_2(F)$ if and only if atleast two of the $a_i$ are non-zero.

In [2], while studying a relevant class of polyominoes that tile the plane by translation, i.e., double square polyominoes, the authors found that their boundary words, encoded by the Freeman chain coding on a four letters alphabet, have…

We investigate invertible matrices over finite additively idempotent semirings. The main result provides a criterion for the invertibility of such matrices. We also give a construction of the inverse matrix and a formula for the number of…

We present a formula for the trace of any symmetric power of a $n\times n$ matrix (with coefficients in a field) in terms of the ordinary powers of the matrix, an arbitrarily chosen linear function which vanishes on the identity matrix, and…

We identify a recursive structure among factorizations of polynomial values into two integer factors. Polynomials for which this recursive structure characterizes all non-trivial representations of integer factorizations of the polynomial…

A real quadratic matrix is generalized doubly stochastic (g.d.s.) if all of its row sums and column sums equal one. We propose numerically stable methods for generating such matrices having possibly orthogonality property or/and satisfying…

The problem of classifying all unitary R-matrices of arbitrary finite dimension that have precisely two distinct eigenvalues is described, working up to a natural equivalence relation given by the characters of their braid group…

An arbitrary Mueller matrix can be decomposed into a sum of up to four deterministic Mueller-Jones matrices, with strengths given by the eigenvalues of an associated Hermitian matrix. A geometrical representation of the eigenvalues in terms…

Symmetric polynomials of the roots of a polynomial can be written as polynomials of the coefficients, and by applying this to the characteristic polynomial we can write a symmetric polynomial of the eigenvalues $a_{i}$ of an $n\times n$…

Matrix functions extend scalar function concepts to linear operators, offering a unified framework with broad applications in mathematics, science, and engineering. Classical definitions--via power series, spectral calculus, or Jordan…

We study a nonlinear decomposition of a positive definite matrix into two components: the inverse of another positive definite matrix and a symmetric matrix constrained to lie in a prescribed linear subspace. Equivalently, the inverse…

We initiate a study of linear maps on $M_n(\mathbb{C})$ that have the property that they factor through a tracial von Neumann algebra $(\mathcal{A,\tau})$ via operators $Z\in M_n(\mathcal{A})$ whose entries consist of positive elements from…

We resolve a conjecture of Cooper-Fenner-Purewal that a certain sequence of combinatorial matrices which can be used to bound small product-Ramsey numbers is positive semidefinite. Because the connection to Ramsey Theory involves solving…

We consider a condition for non-degenerate commuting squares of matrix algebras (finite dimensional von Neumann algebras) called the \emph{span condition}, which in the case of the $n$-dimensional standard spin models is shown to be…

For an nxn matrix A over a Lie nilpotent ring R of index k, we prove that an invariant "power" Cayley-Hamilton identity of degree (n^2)2^{k-2} holds. The right coefficients are not uniquely determined by A, and the cosets lambda_i+D, with D…

In a recent paper a class of infinite Jacobi matrices with discrete character of spectra has been introduced. With each Jacobi matrix from this class an analytic function is associated, called the characteristic function, whose zero set…
