We define geometric matrix midranges for positive definite Hermitian matrices and study the midrange problem from a number of perspectives. Special attention is given to the midrange of two positive definite matrices before considering the…
We study the correspondence assigning the vertices of a certain quotient of the local Bruhat-Tits tree for the general linear group over a global function field, to conjugacy classes of maximal orders in some quaternion algebras. The…
We generalize classical results in spectral graph theory and linear algebra more broadly, from the case where the underlying matrix is Hermitian to the case where it is non-Hermitian. New admissibility conditions are introduced to replace…
We review the state of the art of the theory of Euclidean random matrices, focusing on the density of their eigenvalues. Both Hermitian and non-Hermitian matrices are considered and links with simpler, standard random matrix ensembles are…
Sensitivity of an eigenvalue $\lambda_i$ to the perturbation of matrix elements is controlled by the eigenvalue condition number defined as $\kappa_i = \sqrt{\left< L_i | L_i\right> \left< R_i|R_i \right> }$, where $\left<L_i\right|$ and…
For the unitary ensembles of $N\times N$ Hermitian matrices associated with a weight function $w$ there is a kernel, expressible in terms of the polynomials orthogonal with respect to the weight function, which plays an important role. For…
We introduce a measure of discrepancy of Hermitian matrices and establish an inequality between the second singular value of a Hermitian matrix and its discrepancy. These results are applied to answer two questions of Fan Chung about graph…
New definitions of determinant functionals over the quaternion skew field are given in this paper. The inverse matrix over the quaternion skew field is represented by analogues of the classical adjoint matrix. Cramer rule for right and left…
The Rayleigh-Ritz (RR) method finds the stationary values, called Ritz values, of the Rayleigh quotient on a given trial subspace as approximations to eigenvalues of a Hermitian operator $A$. If the trial subspace is $A$-invariant, the Ritz…
In this paper we study properties of regular solutions of quaternionic Riccati equations. The obtained results we use for study of the asymptotic behavior of solutions of two first-order linear quaternionic ordinary differential equations.
The eigenvalue problem of the spherically symmetric oscillator Hamiltonian is revisited in the context of canonical raising and lowering operators. The Hamiltonian is then factorized in terms of two not mutually adjoint factorizing…
