Let $B(n,p)$ denote a binomial random variable with parameters $n$ and $p$. Vas\v{e}k Chv\'{a}tal conjectured that for any fixed $n\geq 2$, as $m$ ranges over $\{0,\ldots,n\}$, the probability $q_m:=P(B(n,m/n)\leq m)$ is the smallest when…

The Minimum Covariance Determinant (MCD) approach robustly estimates the location and scatter matrix using the subset of given size with lowest sample covariance determinant. Its main drawback is that it cannot be applied when the dimension…

In this note we describe the singular locus of diagonally-dominant Hermitian matrices with nonnegative diagonal entries over the reals, the complex numbers, and the quaternions. This yields explicit expressions for the probability that such…

Given a subset $\mathcal{S}\subseteq \mathbb{F}_q[x]$ and fixed integers $n,m\in \mathbb{N}$, we study the distribution of the smallest denominator $Q\in \mathcal{S}$ for which there exists $\mathbf{P}\in \mathbb{F}_q[x]^m$ such that…

In Communication theory and Coding, it is expected that certain circulant matrices having $k$ ones and $k+1$ zeros in the first row are nonsingular. We prove that such matrices are always nonsingular when $2k+1$ is either a power of a…

Let $V$ be a vector space of rectangular $n\times k$ matrices annihilating the Cullis' determinant. We show that $\dim(V) \le (n-1)k$, extending Dieudonn{\'{e}}'s result on the dimension of vector spaces of square matrices annihilating the…

We prove two conjectures in spectral extremal graph theory involving the linear combinations of graph eigenvalues. Let $\lambda_1(G)$ be the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a graph $G$, and $\bar{G}$ be the complement of $G$.…

The Redheffer matrix $A_n \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ is defined by setting $A_{ij} = 1$ if $j=1$ or $i$ divides $j$ and 0 otherwise. One of its many interesting properties is that $\det(A_n) = O(n^{1/2 + \varepsilon})$ is equivalent to…
