In this article we study the structured distance to singularity for a nonsingular matrix $A\in\mathbb{C}^{n\times n}$, with a prescribed linear structure $\mathcal{S}$ (for instance, a sparsity pattern, or a real Toeplitz structure), i.e.,…
Given a family of systems, identifying stabilizing switching signals in terms of infinite walks constructed by concatenating cycles on the underlying directed graph of a switched system that satisfy certain conditions, is a well-known…
In this paper, we consider the problem of stabilizing discrete-time linear systems by computing a nearby stable matrix to an unstable one. To do so, we provide a new characterization for the set of stable matrices. We show that a matrix $A$…
When a matrix A with n columns is known to be well approximated by a linear combination of basis matrices B_1,..., B_p, we can apply A to a random vector and solve a linear system to recover this linear combination. The same technique can…
We give the criterion for the irreducibility, the Schur irreducibility and the indecomposability of the set of two $n\times n$ matrices $\Lambda_n$ and $A_n$ in terms of the subalgebra associated with the "support" of the matrix $A_n$,…
This work focuses on the problem of exact model reduction of positive linear systems, by leveraging minimal realization theory. While determining the existence of a positive reachable realization remains in general an open problem, we are…
In this paper we discuss the notion of reducibility for matrix weights and introduce a real vector space $\mathcal C_\mathbb{R}$ which encodes all information about the reducibility of $W$. In particular a weight $W$ reduces if and only if…
We revisit the concept of a minimal basis through the lens of the theory of modules over a commutative ring $R$. We first review the conditions for the existence of a basis for submodules of $R^n$ where $R$ is a B\'{e}zout domain. Then, we…
A complete theory of the relationship between the minimal bases and indices of rational matrices and those of their strong linearizations is presented. Such theory is based on establishing first the relationships between the minimal bases…

Let $A$ be a $d \times d$ matrix with rational entries which has no eigenvalue $\lambda \in \mathbb{C}$ of absolute value $|\lambda| < 1$ and let $\mathbb{Z}^d[A]$ be the smallest nontrivial $A$-invariant $\mathbb{Z}$-module. We lay down a…
We study the backward stability of running a backward stable eigenstructure solver on a pencil $S(\lambda)$ that is a strong linearization of a rational matrix $R(\lambda)$ expressed in the form $R(\lambda)=D(\lambda)+ C(\lambda…
Inversion of sparse matrices with standard direct solve schemes is robust, but computationally expensive. Iterative solvers, on the other hand, demonstrate better scalability; but, need to be used with an appropriate preconditioner (e.g.,…
A discrete-time linear dynamical system (LDS) is given by an update matrix $M \in \mathbb{R}^{d\times d}$, and has the trajectories $\langle s, Ms, M^2s, \ldots \rangle$ for $s \in \mathbb{R}^d$. Reachability-type decision problems of…
We describe a type system for the linear-algebraic $\lambda$-calculus. The type system accounts for the linear-algebraic aspects of this extension of $\lambda$-calculus: it is able to statically describe the linear combinations of terms…
We show that for any positive integer $d$, there are families of switched linear systems---in fixed dimension and defined by two matrices only---that are stable under arbitrary switching but do not admit (i) a polynomial Lyapunov function…
We define observability and detectability for linear switching systems as the possibility of reconstructing and respectively of asymptotically reconstructing the hybrid state of the system from the knowledge of the output for a suitable…
We prove that strong structural controllability of a pair of structural matrices $(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B})$ can be verified in time linear in $n + r + \nu$, where $\mathcal{A}$ is square, $n$ and $r$ denote the number of columns of…
