In the present paper it is proved that every inner 2-local derivation on the matrix ring $M_n(\Re)$ of $n\times n$ matrices over a commutative associative ring $\Re$ is an inner derivation. Also, it is proved that, every derivation on an…

Let $n\geq2$ be a natural number. Let $M_n(\mathbb{K})$ be the ring of all $n \times n$ matrices over a field $\mathbb{K}$. Fix natural number $k$ satisfying $1<k\leq n$. Under a mild technical assumption over $\mathbb{K}$ we will show that…

For an $n \times n$ matrix $M$ with entries in $\mathbb{Z}_2$ denote by $R(M)$ the minimal rank of all the matrices obtained by changing some numbers on the main diagonal of $M$. We prove that for each non-negative integer $k$ there is a…

This note deals with two topics of linear algebra. We give a simple and short proof of the multiplicative property of the determinant and provide a constructive formula for rotations. The derivation of the rotation matrix relies on simple…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a unital algebra, $\delta$ be a linear mapping from $\mathcal{A}$ into itself and $m$, $n$ be fixed integers. We call $\delta$ an (\textit{m, n})-derivable mapping at $Z$, if…

We establish lower bounds on the rank of matrices in which all but the diagonal entries lie in a multiplicative group of small rank. Applying these bounds we show that the distance sets of finite pointsets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ generate high…

A map $\phi$ on an associative ring is called a multiplicative Lie derivation if $\phi([x,y])=[\phi(x),y]+[x,\phi(y)]$ holds for any elements $x,y$, where $[x,y]=xy-yx$ is the Lie product. In the paper, we discuss the multiplicative Lie…

In this note, we show various minimality results for a geometric theory of fields $T$: $T$ is stable if and only if it is strongly minimal, $T$ is simple if and only if it has SU-rank 1, and $T$ is rosy if and only if $T$ is surgical.…

Let $K$ be a 2-torsion free ring with identity. We give a description of the Lie derivations of $R=R_{n}(K,J)=NT_{n}(K)+M_{n}(J)$, the ring of all $n\times n$ matrices over $K$ such that the entries on and above the main diagonal are…

We characterize derivations and 2-local derivations from $M_{n}(\mathcal{A})$ into $M_{n}(\mathcal{M})$, $n \ge 2$, where $\mathcal{A}$ is a unital algebra over $\mathbb{C}$ and $\mathcal{M}$ is a unital $\mathcal{A}$-bimodule. We show that…

An MDS matrix is a matrix whose minors all have full rank. A question arising in coding theory is what zero patterns can MDS matrices have. There is a natural combinatorial characterization (called the MDS condition) which is necessary over…

Let $r$ and $n$ be positive integers such that $r<n$, and $\mathbb{K}$ be an arbitrary field. In a recent work, we have determined the maximal dimension for a linear subspace of $n$ by $n$ symmetric matrices with rank less than or equal to…

It is well known that the full matrix ring over a skew-field is a simple ring. We generalize this theorem to the case of semirings. We characterize the case when the matrix semiring $\mathbf{M}_n(S)$, of all $n\times n$ matrices over a…

Given an $m\times n$ binary matrix $M$ with $|M|=p\cdot mn$ (where $|M|$ denotes the number of 1 entries), define the discrepancy of $M$ as $\mbox{disc}(M)=\displaystyle\max_{X\subset [m], Y\subset [n]}\big||M[X\times Y]|-p|X|\cdot…

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…

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 develop tractable convex relaxations for rank-constrained quadratic optimization problems over $n \times m$ matrices, a setting for which tractable relaxations are typically only available when the objective or constraints admit spectral…

Let $\mathfrak{R}$ and $\mathfrak{R}'$ be two associative rings (not necessarily with the identity elements). A bijective map $\varphi$ of $\mathfrak{R}$ onto $\mathfrak{R}'$ is called a \textit{$m$-multiplicative isomorphism} if {$\varphi…

We consider the problem of exact low-rank matrix completion from a geometric viewpoint: given a partially filled matrix M, we keep the positions of specified and unspecified entries fixed, and study how the minimal completion rank depends…

Given an arbitrary (commutative) field K, let V be a linear subspace of M_n(K) consisting of matrices of rank lesser than or equal to some r<n. A theorem of Atkinson and Lloyd states that, if dim V>nr-r+1 and #K>r, then either all the…
