We study linear functions on the space of $n \times n$ matrices over a field which preserve or strongly preserve each of Green's equivalence relations ($\mathcal{L}$, $\mathcal{R}$, $\mathcal{H}$ and $\mathcal{J}$) and the corresponding…

In this short note we prove a lemma about the dimension of certain algebraic sets of matrices. This result is needed in our paper arXiv:1201.1672. The result presented here has also applications in other situations and so it should appear…

K. S. S. Nambooripad intoduced nornal categories to enable to describe the structure of regular semigroups fully. In this paper we describe the ideal categories of the regular semigroup $OX_n,$ of non-invertible order-preserving…

We investigate linear operators $A:\mathbb{R}[x_1,\dots,x_n]\to\mathbb{R}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$. We give explicit operators $A$ such that, for fixed $d\in\mathbb{N}_0$ and closed $K\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$, $e^A\mathrm{Pos}(K)_{\leq…

The aim of this article is to solve the system $XA=Y$ where $A=(a_{ij})\in M_{m\times n}(S)$, $Y\in S^{m}$ and $X$ is an unknown vector of size $n$, being $S$ an additively idempotent semiring. If the system has solutions then we completely…

For any semiring, the concept of k-congruences is introduced, criteria for k-congruences are established, it is proved that there is an inclusion-preserving bijection between k-congruences and k-ideals, and an equivalent condition for the…

We prove that any vector bundle computing the rank-two Clifford index of a smooth projective algebraic curve is linearly semistable. We also identify conditions under which such bundles become linearly stable, thereby addressing a question…

We present a solution to the real multidimensional rational K-moment problem, where K is defined by finitely many polynomial inequalities. More precisely, let S be a finite set of real polynomials in X=(X_1,...,X_n) such that the…

Copositive and completely positive matrices play an increasingly important role in Applied Mathematics, namely as a key concept for approximating NP-hard optimization problems. The cone of copositive matrices of a given order and the cone…

This is part of an ongoing project to find a general algebraic framework for semiring theory. The structure theory of semirings is quite challenging, largely because of the lack of negation, and such basic properties such as unique…

In this paper we study the main properties of control sets with nonempty interior of linear control systems on semisimple Lie groups. We show that, unlike the solvable case, linear control systems on semisimple Lie groups may have more than…

Let A be a singular matrix of M_n(K), where K is an arbitrary field. Using canonical forms, we give a new proof that the sub-semigroup of (M_n(K),x) generated by the similarity class of A is the set of matrices of M_n(K) with a rank lesser…

In this paper, the geometry properties of Hankel form are studied, including their positive semi-definite (PSD) cone and sum-of-squares (SOS) cone. We denote them by $HPSD(m,n)$ and $HSOS(m,n)$, respectively. We show that both $HPSD(m,n)$…

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…

Let K be a field, then we exhibit two matrices in the full nxn matrix algebra M_{n}(K) which generate M_{n}(K) as a Lie K-algebra with the commutator Lie product. We also study Lie centralizers of a not necessarily commutative unitary…

We present a short review of geometric and algebraic approach to causal cones and describe cone preserving transformations and their relationship with causal structure related to special and general theory of relativity. We describe Lie…

Let K be an arbitrary (commutative) field and L be an algebraic closure of it. Let V be a linear subspace of M_n(K), with n>2. We show that if every matrix of V has at most one eigenvalue in K, then dim V<=1+n(n-1)/2. If every matrix of V…

Let ${\mathcal M}_2(\mathbb F)$ be the algebra of 2$\times$2 matrices over the real or complex field $\mathbb F$. For a given positive integer $k\geq 1$, the $k$-commutator of $A$ and $B$ is defined by $[A,B]_k=[[A,B]_{k-1},B]$ with…
