Let $n>m$, and let $A$ be an $(m\times n)$-matrix of full rank. Then obviously the estimate $\|Ax\|\leq\|A\|\|x\|$ holds for the euclidean norm of $x$ and $Ax$ and the spectral norm as the assigned matrix norm. We study the sets of all $x$…

Let $k$ be a natural number and $s$ be real. In the 1-dimensional case, the $k$-th order derivatives of the functions $\lvert x\rvert^s$ and $\log \lvert x\rvert$ are multiples of $\lvert x\rvert^{s-k}$ and $\lvert x\rvert^{-k}$,…

Let V be a linear subspace of M_{n,p}(K) with codimension lesser than n, where K is an arbitrary field and n >=p. In a recent work of the author, it was proven that V is always spanned by its rank p matrices unless n=p=2 and K is isomorphic…

Given an input matrix polynomial whose coefficients are floating point numbers, we consider the problem of finding the nearest matrix polynomial which has rank at most a specified value. This generalizes the problem of finding a nearest…

The nonnegative integer rank of a matrix is a variant of the classical nonnegative rank, introduced in the 1980s, where factorizations are required to have integer entries. While computing nonnegative integer rank is generally very hard, we…

This paper is motivated by basic complexity and probability questions about permanents of random matrices over finite fields, and in particular, about properties separating the permanent and the determinant. Fix $q = p^m$ some power of an…

Let $n$ and $p$ be non-negative integers with $n \geq p$, and $S$ be a linear subspace of the space of all $n$ by $p$ matrices with entries in a field $\mathbb{K}$. A classical theorem of Flanders states that $S$ contains a matrix with rank…

We prove that any multi-variate Hasse-Schmidt derivation can be decomposed in terms of substitution maps and uni-variate Hasse-Schmidt derivations. As a consequence we prove that the bracket of two $m$-integrable derivations is also…

Robust low-rank matrix estimation is a topic of increasing interest, with promising applications in a variety of fields, from computer vision to data mining and recommender systems. Recent theoretical results establish the ability of such…

The aim of this work is to study some lattice diagram polynomials $\Delta_D(X,Y)$. We recall that $M_D$ denotes the space of all partial derivatives of $\Delta_D$. In this paper, we want to study the space $M^k_{i,j}(X,Y)$ which is the sum…

For a polynomial $P$ of degree $n$ and an $m$-tuple $\Lambda=(\lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_m)$ of distinct complex numbers, the dope matrix of $P$ with respect to $\Lambda$ is $D_P(\Lambda)=(\delta_{ij})_{i\in [1,m],j\in[0,n]}$, where…

A transversal matroid $M$ of rank $r$ on $[n]$ can be associated to a family of binary matrices corresponding to different presentations of $M$. We describe those matrices which arise from unique maximal presentations of size $r$- giving a…

Let $M$ and $N$ be matroids such that $N$ is the image of $M$ under a rank-preserving weak map. Generalizing results of Lucas, we prove that, for $x$ and $y$ positive, $T(M;x,y)\geq T(N;x,y)$ if and only if $x+y\geq xy$ or $M\cong N$. We…

Let $S_{n}$ denote the space of all $n \times n$ real symmetric matrices. For n=2 or n>2 we characterize maps F from $S_{n}$ to $S_{m}$ which preserve adjacency, i.e. if rank(A-B)=1, then rank(F(A)-F(B))=1.

We study the problem of determining a matrix whose $k$th multiplicative compound is a prescribed matrix~$M$. The cardinality of the set of matrices whose $k$th multiplicative compound equals~$M$ is characterized in terms of $\rank(M)$. On…
