We study statistical properties of the ensemble of large $N\times N$ random matrices whose entries $ H_{ij}$ decrease in a power-law fashion $H_{ij}\sim|i-j|^{-\alpha}$. Mapping the problem onto a nonlinear $\sigma-$model with non-local…

We study transport properties of an array created by alternating $(a,b)$ layers with balanced loss/gain characterized by the key parameter $\gamma$. It is shown that for non-equal widths of $(a,b)$ layers, i.e., when the corresponding…

For all $n > k \ge 1$, we give formulas for the nullity $N(n,k)$ of the $n \times n$ skew-symmetric Toeplitz band matrix whose first $k$ superdiagonals have all entries $1$ and whose remaining superdiagonals have all entries $0$. This is…

Digital array orthogonal transformations that can be presented as a decomposition over basis items or basis images are considered. The orthogonal transform provides digital data scattering, a process of pixel energy redistributing, that is…

We show that in one dimension the transfer matrix M of any scattering potential v coincides with the S-matrix of an associated time-dependent non-Hermitian 2 x 2 matrix Hamiltonian H(\tau). If v is real-valued, H(\tau) is pseudo-Hermitian…

We study the matrix discrepancy problem in the average-case setting. Given a sequence of $m \times m$ symmetric matrices $A_1,\ldots,A_n$, its discrepancy is defined as the minimal spectral norm over all signed sums $\sum_{i=1}^n x_iA_i$…

The Hamiltonian of a recently proposed supersymmetric matrix model has been shown to become block-diagonal in the large-N, infinite 't Hooft coupling limit. We show that (most of) these blocks can be mapped into seemingly non-supersymmetric…

The paper studies the global convergence of the block Jacobi me\-thod for symmetric matrices. Given a symmetric matrix $A$ of order $n$, the method generates a sequence of matrices by the rule $A^{(k+1)}=U_k^TA^{(k)}U_k$, $k\geq0$, where…

Nonsymmorphic symmetries can enforce band connectivity that obstructs a single-band Wannier description. We show that a fractional translation $\mathcal{L}$ connecting distinct high-symmetry Wyckoff positions generically renders the Wannier…

This paper presents a study of the properties of a matrix model that was introduced to describe transitions between all Wigner surmises of Random Matrix theory. New results include closed-form exact analytical expressions for the…

We study Landau-Zener interband transitions for a non-symmetric optical lattice in the presence of an external force. We show that gain and losses of the light beam, as well as the relative occupation probabilities of the bands involved in…

I consider the N-step transfer matrix T for a general block Hamiltonian, with eigenvalue equation L_n \psi_{n+1} + H_n \psi_n + L_{n-1}^\dagger \psi_{n-1} = E \psi_n where H_n and L_n are matrices, and provide its explicit representation in…

In this paper we study higher-order difference equations which can be written as follows: $$ \mathbf{J} (y_0,y_1,...)^T = \lambda^N (y_0,y_1,...)^T, $$ where $\mathbf{J}$ is a $(2N+1)$-diagonal bounded banded matrix…
