A class of derivatives is defined for the pseudo determinant $Det(A)$ of a Hermitian matrix $A$. This class is shown to be non-empty and to have a unique, canonical member $\mathbf{\nabla Det}(A)=Det(A)A^+$, where $A^+$ is the Moore-Penrose…
This paper is the second in a series of planned papers which provide first bijective proofs of alternating sign matrix results. Based on the main result from the first paper, we construct a bijective proof of the enumeration formula for…
We study the irreducibility of Wronskian Hermite polynomials labelled by partitions. It is known that these polynomials factor as a power of x times a remainder polynomial. We show that the remainder polynomial is irreducible for the…
This paper studies generic and perturbation properties inside the linear space of $m\times (m+n)$ polynomial matrices whose rows have degrees bounded by a given list $d_1, \ldots, d_m$ of natural numbers, which in the particular case $d_1 =…
We establish a new class of examples of the multivariate Bateman-Horn conjecture by using tools from dynamics. These cases include the determinant polynomial on the space of $n\times n$ matrices, the Pfaffian on the space of skew-symmetric…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $n\geq1$ and $p\geq0$ two integers. Let $h_{k,\ i}$ be an element of $R$ for all $k\in\mathbb Z$ and $i\in [n]$. For any $\alpha\in\mathbb Z^n$, we define \[ t_{\alpha}:=\det\begin{pmatrix} h_{\alpha_1+1,\…
Let $n$ and $s$ be fixed integers such that $n\geq 2$ and $1\leq s\leq \frac{n}{2}$. Let $M_n(\mathbb{K})$ be the ring of all $n\times n$ matrices over a field $\mathbb{K}$. If a map $\delta:M_n(\mathbb{K})\rightarrow M_n(\mathbb{K})$…
This paper is intended to give closed formulae for binomial determinants with consecutive or almost consecutive rows or columns, as well as calculating the generator of left nullspaces defined by some binomial matrices. In the meantime, we…
We examine relationships between two minors of order n of some matrices of n rows and n+r columns. This is done through a class of determinants, here called $n$-determinants, the investigation of which is our objective. We prove that…
A symbolic determinant under rank-one restriction computes a polynomial of the form $\det(A_0+A_1y_1+\ldots+A_ny_n)$, where $A_0,A_1,\ldots,A_n$ are square matrices over a field $\mathbb{F}$ and $rank(A_i)=1$ for each $i\in[n]$. This class…
One tuple of probability vectors is more informative than another tuple when there exists a single stochastic matrix transforming the probability vectors of the first tuple into the probability vectors of the other. This is called matrix…
We show that every matrix $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ is at least $\delta$$\|A\|$-close to a real matrix $A+E \in \mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ whose eigenvectors have condition number at most $\tilde{O}_{n}(\delta^{-1})$. In fact, we prove…
We use earlier defined notion of $n$- determinant to investigate sub-determinants of an extended Vandermonde matrix. Firstly, we demonstrate our method on a number of particular cases. Then we prove that all these results may be stated in…
We prove a quantitative version of a Silverstein's Theorem on a condition for convergence in probability of the norm of random matrix. More precisely, we show that for a random matrix whose entries are i.i.d. random variables, $w_{i,j}$,…
In this paper, we prove a conjecture which was presented in a recent paper [Linear Algebra Appl. 2016; 496: 549--593]. We derive some practical necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution to a system of coupled…
We introduce two equations expressing the inverse determinant of a full rank matrix $\mathbf{A} \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ in terms of expectations over matrix-vector products. The first relationship is $|\mathrm{det} (\mathbf{A})|^{-1} =…
We provide new Schmidt-type results through an investigation of two bijections, which are results involving partitions with parts counted only at given indices. Mork's bijection, the first of these, was originally given as a proof of…
We consider the set of $n\times n$ matrices with rational entries having numerator and denominator of size at most $H$ and obtain upper and lower bounds on the number of such matrices of a given rank and then apply them to count such…
In this paper we use a formula for the $n$-th power of a $2\times2$ matrix $A$ (in terms of the entries in $A$) to derive various combinatorial identities. Three examples of our results follow. 1) We show that if $m$ and $n$ are positive…
This paper presents a novel primality test based on the eigenvalue structure of circulant matrices constructed from roots of unity. We prove that an integer $n > 2$ is prime if and only if the minimal polynomial of the circulant matrix $C_n…
