A nonstandard application of bivariate polynomial interpolation is discussed: the implicitization of a rational algebraic curve given by its parametric equations. Three different approaches using the same interpolation space are considered,…
Combinatorial transition matrices arise frequently in the theory of symmetric functions and their generalizations. The entries of such matrices often count signed, weighted combinatorial structures such as semistandard tableaux, rim-hook…
Cumulants are a notion that comes from the classical probability theory, they are an alternative to a notion of moments. We adapt the probabilistic concept of cumulants to the setup of a linear space equipped with two multiplication…
A geometric view of the polarimetric properties of a nondepolarizing medium is presented by means of a pair of vectors in the Poincar\'e sphere. An alternative representation constituted by a set of vectors contained in the equatorial plane…
In this paper polynomial maps are represented by the use of matrices whose entries are numbered by pair of multiindices and a new product of such matrices is introduced. A matrix representation of composition of polynomial maps is given. In…
Circulant matrices play a central role in a recently proposed formulation of three-way data computations. In this setting, a three-way table corresponds to a matrix where each "scalar" is a vector of parameters defining a circulant. This…
Let A=(a_(ij)) be the generic n by n circulant matrix given by a_(ij)=x_(i+j), with subscripts on x interpreted mod n. Define d(n) (resp. p(n)) to be the number of terms in the determinant (resp. permanent) of A. The function p(n) is…
The $\mathcal{A}$-tracial algebras are algebras endowed with multi-linear forms, compatible with the product, and indexed by partitions. Using the notion of $\mathcal{A}$-cumulants, we define and study the $\mathcal{A}$-freeness property…
In a recent work, Maciej Do\l{}e\k{}ga and the author have given a formula of the expansion of the Jack polynomial $J^{(\alpha)}_\lambda$ in the power-sum basis as a non-orientability generating series of bipartite maps whose edges are…
Fourier PCA is Principal Component Analysis of a matrix obtained from higher order derivatives of the logarithm of the Fourier transform of a distribution.We make this method algorithmic by developing a tensor decomposition method for a…
Consider the $2n$-by-$2n$ matrix $M=(m_{i,j})_{i,j=1}^{2n}$ with $m_{i,j} = 1$ for $i,j$ satisfying $|2i-2n-1|+|2j-2n-1| \leq 2n$ and $m_{i,j} = 0$ for all other $i,j$, consisting of a central diamond of 1's surrounded by 0's. When $n \geq…
We derive formulas for $(i)$ the number of toroidal $n\times n$ binary arrays, allowing rotation of rows and/or columns as well as matrix transposition, and $(ii)$ the number of toroidal $n\times n$ binary arrays, allowing rotation and/or…
Explicit evaluations of matrix-variate gamma and beta integrals in the complex domain by using conventional procedures is extremely difficult. Such an evaluation will reveal the structure of these matrix-variate integrals. In this article,…
For a commutative ring $A$ we consider a related graph, $\Gamma(A)$, whose vertices are the unimodular rows of length $2$ up to multiplication by units. We prove that $\Gamma(A)$ is path-connected if and only if $A$ is a…
In this paper, we study a structured family of matrices whose entries are given by products of $k$-Fibonacci and $k$-Lucas numbers. For this family, we obtain explicit and unified formulas for several classical matrix invariants, including…
Given two second order free random variables $a$ and $b$, we study the second order free cumulants of their product $ab$, their commutator $ab-ba$, and their anti-commutator $ab+ba$. Let $(\kappa_n^a)_{n\geq 1}$ and…
The binomial interpolated transform of a sequence is a generalization of the well-known binomial transform. We examine a Pascal-like triangle, on which a binomial interpolated transform works between the left and right diagonals, focusing…
If ${A}$ has no eigenvalues on the closed negative real axis, and $B$ is arbitrary square complex, the matrix-matrix exponentiation is defined as $A^B:=e^{\log({A}){B}}$. This function arises, for instance, in Von Newmann's…
We develop a theory of formal multivariate polynomials over commutative rings by treating them as ring terms. Our main result is that two ring terms are s-equivalent (when expanded they yield the same standard polynomial) iff they are…
A foundational question in the theory of linear compartmental models is how to assess whether a model is structurally identifiable -- that is, whether parameter values can be inferred from noiseless data -- directly from the combinatorics…
