In a previous paper, we have given an algebraic model to the set of intervals. Here, we apply this model in a linear frame. We define a notion of diagonalization of square matrices whose coefficients are intervals. But in this case, with…

Bidiagonal matrices are widespread in numerical linear algebra, not least because of their use in the standard algorithm for computing the singular value decomposition and their appearance as LU factors of tridiagonal matrices. We show that…

Let $a$ and $b$ be elements of an ordered normed algebra $\mathcal A$ with unit $e$. Suppose that the element $a$ is positive and that for some $\varepsilon>0$ there exists an element $x\in \mathcal A$ with $\|x\|\leq \varepsilon$ such that…

Let $A$ be a finite-dimensional simple algebra that is not a field. We show that every $a\in A$ can be written as $a=(bc-cb)(de-ed)$ for some $b,c,d,e\in A$. This is not always true for infinite-dimensional simple algebras. In fact, for any…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $n\geq1$ and $p\geq0$ two integers. Let $h_{k,\ i}$ be an element of $R$ for all $k\in\mathbb Z$ and $i\in [n]$. For any $\alpha\in\mathbb Z^n$, we define \[ t_{\alpha}:=\det\begin{pmatrix} h_{\alpha_1+1,\…

Let $\Lambda=\begin{pmatrix}A & 0 \\U & B \end{pmatrix}$ be a formal triangular matrix ring where $A,B$ are rings and $U$ is a $(B,A)$-bimodule. In this paper, we study some special classes over the formal triangular matrix ring $\Lambda$.…

A commutator of unipotent matrices of index 2 is a matrix of the form $XYX^{-1}Y^{-1}$, where $X$ and $Y$ are unipotent matrices of index 2, that is, $X\ne I_n$, $Y\ne I_n$, and $(X-I_n)^2=(Y-I_n)^2=0_n$. If $n>2$ and $\mathbb F$ is a field…

We briefly review the results of our paper hep-th/0009013: we study certain perturbative solutions of left-unilateral matrix equations. These are algebraic equations where the coefficients and the unknown are square matrices of the same…

In this paper, we exhibit explicitly a sequence of $2\times2$ matrix valued orthogonal polynomials with respect to a weight $W_{p,n}$, for any pair of real numbers $p$ and $n$ such that $0<p<n$. The entries of these polynomiales are…

We give explicit expressions for \vSapovalov elements in Type A Lie algebras and superalgebras. Explicit expressions were already given in arXiv:1710.10528 Section 9, using non-commutative determinants, and in fact our first main results,…

We show that a unital ring is generated by its commutators as an ideal if and only if there exists a natural number $N$ such that every element is a sum of $N$ products of pairs of commutators. We show that one can take $N \leq 2$ for…

Motivated by Hirano-Tominaga's work \cite{HT} on rings for which every element is a sum of two idempotents and by de Seguins Pazzis's results \cite{de} on decomposing every matrix over a field of positive characteristic as a sum of…

Random matrices are used in fields as different as the study of multi-orthogonal polynomials or the enumeration of discrete surfaces. Both of them are based on the study of a matrix integral. However, this term can be confusing since the…

Recently obtained recurrence formulae for relativistic hydrogenic radial matrix elements are cast in a simpler and perhaps more useful form. This is achieved with the help of a new relation between the $r^a$ and the $\beta r^b$ terms…

On the set of mappings of the given set, we define the product of mappings. If A is associative algebra, then we consider the set of matrices, whose elements are linear mappings of algebra A. In algebra of matrices of linear mappings we…

For two matrices $A$ and $B$, and large $n$, we show that most products of $n$ factors of $e^{A/n}$ and $n$ factors of $e^{B/n}$ are close to $e^{A + B}$. This extends the Lie-Trotter formula. The elementary proof is based on the relation…

This paper is devoted to revealing the relationship between matrix-valued $\theta$-deformed bi-orthogonal polynomials and non-commutative Toda-type hierarchies. In this procedure, Wronski quasi-determinants are widely used and play the role…

We study the Poincar\'e series of the mixed and pure trace rings of generic matrices. These series are known to be rational functions. We obtain an explicit formula in lowest terms in the case of $2\times2$ matrices; a denominator, which we…

For the second fundamental representation of the general linear group over a commutative ring $R$ we construct straightforward and uniform polynomial expressions of elementary generators as products of elementary conjugates of an arbitrary…

This paper determines the general formula for describing differentials of composite functions in terms of differentials of their factor functions. This generalises the formula commonly attributed to Faa di Bruno to functions in locally…
