We give the exact upper and lower bounds of the M{\"o}bius inverse of monotone and normalized set functions (a.k.a. normalized capacities) on a finite set of n elements. We find that the absolute value of the bounds tend to 4 n/2 $\sqrt$…

Let $n$ be a large integer and $M_n$ be a random $n$ by $n$ matrix whose entries are i.i.d. Bernoulli random variables (each entry is $\pm 1$ with probability 1/2). We show that the probability that $M_n$ is singular is at most $(3/4…

The maximal dimension of commutative subspaces of $M_n(\mathbb{C})$ is known. So is the structure of such a subspace when the maximal dimension is achieved. We consider extensions of these results and ask the following natural questions: If…

This paper centers on the limit eigenvalue distribution for random Vandermonde matrices with unit magnitude complex entries. The phases of the entries are chosen independently and identically distributed from the interval $[-\pi,\pi]$.…

From the application point of view, it is important to have a good upper bound for the maximum norm of the inverse of a given matrix A. In this paper we will give two simple and practical upper bounds for the maximum norm of the inverse of…

In this paper, we present a novel method to compute an explicit formula for the inverse of the confluent Vandermonde matrices. Our proposed results may have many interesting perspectives in diverse areas of mathematics and natural sciences,…

A Filbert matrix is a matrix whose (i,j) entry is 1/F_(i+j-1), where F_n is the nth Fibonacci number. The inverse of the n by n Filbert matrix resembles the inverse of the n by n Hilbert matrix, and we prove that it shares the property of…

We investigate invertible matrices over finite additively idempotent semirings. The main result provides a criterion for the invertibility of such matrices. We also give a construction of the inverse matrix and a formula for the number of…

Let $A$ and $B$ be two maximal abelian *-subalgebras of the $n\times n$ complex matrices $M_n(\mathbb{C}).$ To study the movement of the inner automorphisms of $M_n(\mathbb{C}),$ we modify the Connes-St$\o$rmer relative entropy $H(A | B)$…

The aim of this work is to characterize linear maps of inner pro\-duct infinite-dimensional vector spaces where the Moore-Penrose inverse exists. This MP inverse generalizes the well-known Moore-Penrose inverse of a matrix $A\in…

We revisit the classical problem of inverting dimension-reducing linear mappings using the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) criterion. In the literature, solutions are problem-dependent, inconsistent, and use different entropy measures. We propose…

The problem is related to all-or-nothing transforms (AONT) suggested by Rivest as a preprocessing for encrypting data with a block cipher. Since then there have been various applications of AONTs in cryptography and security. D'Arco,…

Let $F_n$ be an $n$ by $n$ symmetric matrix whose entries are bounded by $n^{\gamma}$ for some $\gamma>0$. Consider a randomly perturbed matrix $M_n=F_n+X_n$, where $X_n$ is a random symmetric matrix whose upper diagonal entries $x_{ij}$…

Square matrices of the form $\widetilde{\mathbf{A}} =\mathbf{A} + \mathbf{e}D \mathbf{f}^*$ are considered. An explicit expression for the inverse is given, provided $\widetilde{\mathbf{A}}$ and $D$ are invertible with…

Given a $d \times n$ integer matrix $A$, the main result is an elementary, simple-to-state algorithm that finds the largest $A$-graded ideal contained in any ideal $I$ in a polynomial ring $\Bbbk[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$. The special case where $A$…

Let $p_n$ be the maximal sum of the entries of $A^2$, where $A$ is a square matrix of size $n$, consisting of the numbers $1,2,\ldots,n^2$, each appearing exactly once. We prove that $m_n=\Theta(n^7)$. More precisely, we show that…

For a rational number $r>1$, a set $A$ of positive integers is called an $r$-multiple-free set if $A$ does not contain any solution of the equation $rx = y$. The extremal problem on estimating the maximum possible size of $r$-multiple-free…

We prove that the maximum determinant of an $n \times n $ matrix, with entries in $\{0,1\}$ and at most $n+k$ non-zero entries, is at most $2^{k/3}$, which is best possible when $k$ is a multiple of 3. This result solves a conjecture of…

In 2023, the first author and Vandehey proved that the largest $k$ for which the string of equalities $\lambda(n+1)=\lambda(n+2)=\cdots=\lambda(n+k)$ holds for some $n\leq x$, where $\lambda$ is the Carmichael $\lambda$ function, is bounded…
