We establish fixed point theorems for nonlinear contractions on a metric space (not essentially complete) endowed with an arbitrary binary relation. Our results extend, generalize, modify and unify several known results especially those…

Given a null-cobordant oriented framed link $L$ in a closed oriented $3$--manifold $M$, we determine those links in $M \setminus L$ which can be realized as the singular point set of a generic map $M \to \mathbb{R}^2$ that has $L$ as an…

We introduce a notion of joint spectrum for a tuple of compact operators on a separable Hilbert space and show that in many situations these operators commute if and only if the joint spectrum consists of countably many, locally finite,…

In this paper, we study the action of special $n\times n $ linear (resp. symplectic) matrices which are homotopic to identity on the right invertible $n\times m$ matrices. We also prove that the commutator subgroup of $\rm{O}_{2n}(R[X])$ is…

Let ${\mathcal D}_{n,d}$ be the set of all $d$-regular directed graphs on $n$ vertices. Let $G$ be a graph chosen uniformly at random from ${\mathcal D}_{n,d}$ and $M$ be its adjacency matrix. We show that $M$ is invertible with probability…

This paper studies commuting matrices in max algebra and nonnegative linear algebra. Our starting point is the existence of a common eigenvector, which directly leads to max analogues of some classical results for complex matrices. We also…

Let $X$ be a compact metric space which is locally absolutely retract and let $\phi: C(X)\to C(Y, M_n)$ be a unital homomorphism, where $Y$ is a compact metric space with ${\rm dim}Y\le 2.$ It is proved that there exists a sequence of $n$…

The combinatorics of certain osculating lattice paths is studied, and a relationship with oscillating tableaux is obtained. More specifically, the paths being considered have fixed start and end points on respectively the lower and right…

A $n\times n$ matrix $A$ has normal defect one if it is not normal, however can be embedded as a north-western block into a normal matrix of size $(n+1)\times (n+1)$. The latter is called a minimal normal completion of $A$. A construction…

We study the dynamics of template iterations, consisting of arbitrary compositions of functions chosen from a finite set of polynomials. In particular, we focus on templates using complex unicritical maps in the family $\{ z^d + c, c \in…

In this text we study the regularity of matrices with special polynomial entries. Barring some mild conditions we show that these matrices are regular if a natural limit size is not exceeded. The proof draws connections to generalized…

Electronic transport through chaotic quantum dots exhibits universal, system independent, properties, consistent with random matrix theory. The quantum transport can also be rooted, via the semiclassical approximation, in sums over the…

Let $\widehat{\mathscr O}$ be a complete local principal ideal ring with residue field $k$ of characteristic not $2$ and $f\in \widehat{\mathscr O}[x_1,x_2,\dots,x_m]$. Take $A\in \mathrm M_n(\widehat{\mathscr O})$ with its reduction…

Let $(M,g)$ be a closed oriented negatively curved surface. A unitary connection on a Hermitian vector bundle over $M$ is said to be transparent if its parallel transport along the closed geodesics of $g$ is the identity. We study the space…

We explore geometric properties of the Mandelbrot set M, and the corresponding Julia sets J_c, near the main cardioid. Namely, we establish that: a) M is locally connected at certain infinitely renormalizable parameters c of bounded…

Transportation matrices are $m\times n$ non-negative matrices whose row sums and row columns are equal to, or dominated above with given integral vectors $R$ and $C$. Those matrices belong to a convex polytope whose extreme points have been…

In this paper, we study the relative perturbation bounds for joint eigenvalues of commuting tuples of normal $n \times n$ matrices. Some Hoffman-Wielandt type relative perturbation bounds are proved using the Clifford algebra technique. A…

In the early 1990's, Billera and Sturmfels introduced the monotone path polytope (MPP), a special case of the general theory of fiber polytopes that associates a polytope to a pair $(P,\varphi)$ of a polytope $P$ and linear functional…

We consider the set $\mathcal{M}_n(\mathbb Z; H)$ of $n\times n$-matrices with integer elements of size at most $H$ and obtain a new upper bound on the number of matrices from $\mathcal{M}_n(\mathbb Z; H)$ with a given characteristic…

We study path-connectedness and homotopy groups of sets of tensors defined by tensor rank, border rank, multilinear rank, as well as their symmetric counterparts for symmetric tensors. We show that over $\mathbb{C}$, the set of rank-$r$…
