We are interested in matrices of minors of order p of a invertible matrix. Special cases are studied when this matrix is in SL(n) or SO(n)

Double circulant matrices are introduced and studied. A formula to compute the rank r of a double circulant matrix is exhibited; and it is shown that any consecutive r rows of the double circulant matrix are linearly independent. As a…

We identify all minimal chordal graphs that are not circular-arc graphs, thereby resolving one of ``the main open problems'' concerning the structures of circular-arc graphs as posed by Dur{\'{a}}n, Grippo, and Safe in 2011. The problem had…

In this work we give a complete description of the set covering polyhedron of circulant matrices $C^k_{sk}$ with $s = 2,3$ and $k\geq 3 $ by linear inequalities. In particular, we prove that every non boolean facet defining inequality is…

In this paper, we investigate PN-sequences with ideal autocorrelation property and the consequences of this property on the number of +1s and -1s and run structure of sequences. We begin by discussing and surveying about the length of…

We introduce two refinements of the class of $5/2$-groups, inspired by the classes of automorphism groups of configurations and automorphism groups of unit circulant digraphs. We show that both of these classes have the property that any…

The most elusive problem around the class of circular-arc graphs is identifying all minimal graphs that are not in this class. The main obstacle is the lack of a systematic way of enumerating these minimal graphs. McConnell [FOCS 2001]…

Here we consider the image of the principal minor map of symmetric matrices over an arbitrary unique factorization domain $R$. By exploiting a connection with symmetric determinantal representations, we characterize the image of the…

The paper concerns the automorphism groups of Cayley graphs over cyclic groups which have a rational spectrum (rational circulant graphs for short). With the aid of the techniques of Schur rings it is shown that the problem is equivalent to…

In this note we study the induced $p$-norm of circulant matrices $A(n,\pm a, b)$, acting as operators on the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$. For circulant matrices whose entries are nonnegative real numbers, in particular for $A(n,a,b)$, we…

We describe algorithms for computing maximal determinants of binary circulant matrices of small orders. Here "binary matrix" means a matrix whose elements are drawn from $\{0,1\}$ or $\{-1,1\}$. We describe efficient parallel algorithms for…

In this note we investigate some matroid minor structure results. In particular, we present sufficient conditions, in terms of {\em triangles}, for a matroid to have either $U_{2,4}$ or $F_7$ or $M(K_5)$ as a minor.

Let $A=(a_{j,k})_{j,k \ge 1}$ be a non-negative matrix. In this paper, we characterize those $A$ for which $\|A\|_{\ell_p,\ell_q}$ are determined by their actions on non-negative decreasing sequences, where one of $p$ and $q$ is 1 or…

McDonald and Paparella [Linear Algebra Appl. 498 (2016), 145--159] gave a necessary condition on the structure of Jordan chains of $h$-cyclic matrices. In this work, that necessary condition is shown to be sufficient. As a consequence, we…

We propose a generic mechanism for the formation of narrow rings in rotating systems. For this purpose we use a system of discs rotating about a common center lying well outside the discs. A discussion of this system shows that narrow rings…

We say that a digraph is essentially cyclic if its Laplacian spectrum is not completely real. The essential cyclicity implies the presence of directed cycles, but not vice versa. The problem of characterizing essential cyclicity in terms of…

In this paper we present a characterisation, by an infinite family of minimal forbidden induced subgraphs, of proper circular arc graphs which are intersection graphs of paths on a grid, where each path has at most one bend (turn).

We give one more proof of the fact that symplectic matrices over real and complex fields have determinant one. While this has already been proved many times, there has been lasting interest in finding an elementary proof. Our result is…

This paper examines the properties of real symmetric square matrices with a constant value for the main diagonal elements and another constant value for all off-diagonal elements. This matrix form is a simple subclass of circulant matrices,…

One generalization of ordinary matroids is symplectic matroids. While symplectic matroids were initially defined by their collections of bases, there has been no cryptomorphic definition of symplectic matroids in terms of circuits. We give…
