We determine sufficient conditions for certain classes of $(n+k) \times n$ matrices $E$ to have all order-$n$ minors to be nonzero. For a special class of $(n+1) \times n$ matrices $E,$ we give the formula for the order-$n$ minors. As an…

Let $\{a_1, . . . , a_n\}$ be a set of positive integers with $a_1 < \dots < a_n$ such that all $2^n$ subset sums are distinct. A famous conjecture by Erd\H{o}s states that $a_n>c\cdot 2^n$ for some constant $c$, while the best result known…

In this paper we study the structure and give bounds for the eigenvalues of the $n\times n$ matrix, which $ij$ entry is $(i,j)^\alpha[i,j]^\beta$, where $\alpha,\beta\in\Rset$, $(i,j)$ is the greatest common divisor of $i$ and $j$ and…

We prove a conjectured determinantal inequality: \frac{\det J}{\prod_{i=1}^nJ_{ii}}\le 2(1-\frac{1}{n-1})^{n-1}, where $J$ is a real $n\times n$ ($n\ge 2$) diagonally balanced symmetric matrix.

Consider an operator that takes the Fourier transform of a discrete measure supported in $\mathcal{X}\subset[-\frac 12,\frac 12)^d$ and restricts it to a compact $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^d$. We provide lower bounds for its smallest singular…

Let $\sigma(n)$ denote the sum of the positive divisors of $n$. We say that $n$ is perfect if $\sigma(n) = 2 n$. Currently there are no known odd perfect numbers. It is known that if an odd perfect number exists, then it must be of the form…

Let $f_n$ be a random polynomial of degree $n$, whose coefficients are independent and identically distributed random variables with mean-zero and variance one. Let $\Delta(f_n)$ denote the discriminant of $f_n$, that is $\Delta(f_n) =…

In this note, we prove that $D_8\times C_2^{n-3}$ is the non-elementary abelian $2$-group of order $2^n$, $n\geq 3$, whose number of subgroups of possible orders is maximal. This solves a conjecture by Haipeng Qu [7]. A formula for counting…

The Binary Two-Up Sequence is the lexicographically earliest sequence of distinct nonnegative integers with the property that the binary expansion of the n-th term has no 1-bits in common with any of the previous floor(n/2) terms. We show…

Let $q\ge 5$ be a prime and put $q^*=(-1)^{(q-1)/2}\cdot q$. We consider the integer sequence $u_q(1),u_q(2),\ldots,$ with $u_q(j)=(3^j-q^*(-1)^j)/4$. No term in this sequence is repeated and thus for each $n$ there is a smallest integer…

In this article, we consider birational equivalence of exponential matrices. In characteristic zero, we give a birational classification of exponential matrices of size $n$-by-$n$ $(n \geq 2)$, which consists of two types. And in positive…

We give simple criteria to identify the exponential order of magnitude of the absolute value of the determinant for wide classes of random matrix models, not requiring the assumption of invariance. These include Gaussian matrices with…

Let $E$ denote a general complex binary form of order $d$ (seen as a point in $\P^d$), and let $\Omega_E \subseteq \P^d$ denote the closure of its $SL_2$-orbit. In this note, we calculate the equivariant minimal generators of its defining…

The main goal of this article is to establish several new upper and lower bounds for the $\mathbb{A}$-numerical radius of $2\times 2$ operator matrices, where $\mathbb{A}$ be the $2\times 2$ diagonal operator matrix whose diagonal entries…

We introduce a natural notion of determinant in matrix JB$^*$-algebras, i.e., for hermitian matrices of biquaternions and for hermitian $3\times 3$ matrices of complex octonions. We establish several properties of these determinants which…

We show that the maximal number of equal entries in a totally positive (resp. totally nonsingular) $n\textrm{-by-}n$ matrix is $\Theta(n^{4/3})$ (resp. $\Theta(n^{3/2}$)). Relationships with point-line incidences in the plane, Bruhat order…

Our main result shows that for every odd natural number n > 1 there is a partition of the rational numbers, x/2n in lowest terms, in the unit interval, the product of whose Gamma values takes the form of powers of 2 and pi.

Due to their rich algebraic structures and various applications, circulant matrices have been of interest and continuously studied. In this paper, the notions of Binomial-related matrices have been introduced. Such matrices are circulant…

Motivated by classic tree algorithms, in 1995 we designed a bottom-up $O(n)$ algorithm to compute the determinant of a tree's adjacency matrix $A$. In 2010 an $O(n)$ algorithm was found for constructing a diagonal matrix congruent to $A +…

In a series of papers we investigated the following question: given a family $\calF$ of binary forms having nonzero discriminant and integer coefficients, for each $d\geqslant 3$, we estimate the number of integers $m$ with $|m|\leqslant N$…
