Under suitable asymptotic and convexity conditions on a function $g\colon\mathbb{R}_+\to\mathbb{R}$, the solution to $\Delta f=g$, where $\Delta$ is the forward difference operator, is unique up to an additive constant and is called the…
We describe the variety of fixed points of a unipotent operator acting on the space of matrices. We compute the determinant and the rank of a generic (symmetric, or anti-symmetric) matrix in the fixed variety, yielding information about the…
For an arbitrary function f:\Omega \rightarrow C (where \Omega is a subset of the field C) and a positive integer k let f act on all diagonalizable complex matrices whose all eigenvalues lie in Omega in the following way: f[P…
We introduce a general purpose algorithm for rapidly computing certain types of oscillatory integrals which frequently arise in problems connected to wave propagation and general hyperbolic equations. The problem is to evaluate numerically…
We introduce a method for calculating individual elements of matrix functions. Our technique makes use of a novel series expansion for the action of matrix functions on basis vectors that is memory efficient even for very large matrices. We…
We show that the n-fold integrals $\chi^{(n)}$ of the magnetic susceptibility of the Ising model, as well as various other n-fold integrals of the "Ising class", or n-fold integrals from enumerative combinatorics, like lattice Green…
We consider two ensembles of nxn matrices. The first is the set of all nxn matrices with entries zeroes and ones such that all column sums and all row sums equal r, uniformly weighted. The second is the set of nxn matrices with zero and one…
Reference [1] established an index theory for a class of linear selfadjoint operator equations covering both second order linear Hamiltonian systems and first order linear Hamiltonian systems as special cases. In this paper based upon this…

An integer sequence that is defined by initial values and a linear recurrence with constant integer coefficients, can be represented by the difference of two arithmetic terms containing exponentiation. All constants occuring in the term are…
The permanent of a non-negative matrix appears naturally in many information processing scenarios. Because of the intractability of the permanent beyond small matrices, various approximation techniques have been developed in the past. In…
We develop the integral calculus for quasi-standard smooth functions defined on the ring of Fermat reals. The approach is by proving the existence and uniqueness of primitives. Besides the classical integral formulas, we show the…
The proposed system of integer functions is logically fully independent from the traditional mathematical analysis of the real functions, but there is a well-defined mutual correspondence between the two disciplines. The system of integer…
There is a digraph corresponding to every square matrix over $\mathbb{C}$. We generate a recurrence relation using the Laplace expansion to calculate the characteristic, and permanent polynomials of a square matrix. Solving this recurrence…
We offer a consistent dynamical formulation of stationary scattering in two and three dimensions that is based on a suitable multidimensional generalization of the transfer matrix. This is a linear operator acting in an infinite-dimensional…
We consider an infinite-dimensional non-linear operator related to a hard core (HC) model with a countable set $\mathbb{N}$ of spin values. It is known that finding the fixed points of an infinite-dimensional operator is generally…
Immanants are polynomial functions of n by n matrices attached to irreducible characters of the symmetric group S_n, or equivalently to Young diagrams of size n. Immanants include determinants and permanents as extreme cases. Valiant proved…
We propose a notion of iterating functions $f:X^{k}\rightarrow X$ in a way that represents recurrence relations of the form $a_{n+k}=f(a_{n},a_{n+1},...,a_{n+k-1})$. We define a function as $n$-involutory when its $n$th iterate is the…
The explicit formula for the elements of the successive intermediate matrices of the Gauss-Jordan elimination procedure for the solution of systems of linear equations is applied to error analysis. Stability conditions in terms of relative…
Most ideas about what an algorithm is are very similar. Basic operations are used for transforming objects. The evaluation of internal and external states by relations has impact on the further process. A more precise definition can lead to…
