In this article, we introduce a notion of an exponential matrix, which is a polynomial matrix with exponential properties, and a notion of an equivalence relation of two exponential matrices, and then we initiate to study classifying…

We analyze bipartite matrices and linear maps between matrix algebras, which are respectively, invariant and covariant, under the diagonal unitary and orthogonal groups' actions. By presenting an expansive list of examples from the…

We study connections between linear equations over various semigroups and recursively enumerable sets of positive integers. We give variants of the universal Diophantine representation of recursively enumerable sets of positive integers…

Fractional powers and polynomial maps preserving structured totally positive matrices, one-sided Polya frequency functions, or totally positive kernels are treated from a unifying perspective. Besides the stark rigidity of the polynomial…

Gamma-positivity appears frequently in finite geometries, combinatorics and number theory. Motivated by the recent work of Sagan and Tirrell (Adv. Math., 374 (2020), 107387), we study the relationships between gamma-positivity and…

We survey the history of totally positive matrices and the generalization to Lie groups. We describe a reduction of a bilinear form to a canonical form (generalizing the case of symplectic nondegenerate forms) using ideas from total…

In the paper, the author elementarily unifies and generalizes eight identities involving the functions $\frac{\pm1}{e^{\pm t}-1}$ and their derivatives. By one of these identities, the author establishes two explicit formulae for computing…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and let $f \in K[x]$. The $m$-th {\it cyclic resultant} of $f$ is \[r_m = \text{Res}(f,x^m-1).\] A generic monic polynomial is determined by its full sequence of cyclic…

Let $F$ be an infinite field and let $f$ be a nonzero multilinear polynomial with coefficients in $F$. We prove that for every positive integer $d$ there exists a positive integer $s$ such that $f(M_{s}(F))$, the image of $f$ in $M_{s}(F)$,…

We link the study of positive quantum maps, block positive operators, and entanglement witnesses with problems related to multivariate polynomials. For instance, we show how indecomposable block positive operators relate to biquadratic…

We investigate linear maps between matrix algebras that remain positive under tensor powers, i.e., under tensoring with $n$ copies of themselves. Completely positive and completely co-positive maps are trivial examples of this kind. We show…

The concept of the {\em half density matrix} is proposed. It unifies the quantum states which are described by density matrices and physical processes which are described by completely positive maps. With the help of the half-density-matrix…

We consider real sequences $(f_n)$ that satisfy a linear recurrence with constant coefficients. We show that the density of the positivity set of such a sequence always exists. In the special case where the sequence has no positive…

Ehrhart discovered that the function that counts the number of lattice points in dilations of an integral polytope is a polynomial. We call the coefficients of this polynomial Ehrhart coefficients, and say a polytope is Ehrhart positive if…

Let $E\subset \mathbb Z$ be a set of positive upper density. Suppose that $P_1,P_2,..., P_k\in \mathbb Z[X]$ are polynomials having zero constant terms. We show that the set $E\cap (E-P_1(p-1))\cap ... \cap (E-P_k(p-1))$ is non-empty for…

Completely positive graphs have been employed to associate with completely positive matrices for characterizing the intrinsic zero patterns. As tensors have been widely recognized as a higher-order extension of matrices, the…

We introduce a new factorial function which agrees with the usual Euler gamma function at both the positive integers and at all half-integers, but which is also entire. We describe the basic features of this function.

We prove that the enumerative polynomials of quasi-Stirling permutations of multisets with respect to the statistics of plateaux, descents and ascents are partial $\gamma$-positive, thereby confirming a recent conjecture posed by Lin, Ma…

A polynomial automorphism of $\mathbb{A}^n$ over a field of characteristic zero is called co-tame if, together with the affine subgroup, it generates the entire tame subgroup. We prove some new classes of automorphisms, including…

We give the first exact determinantal formula for the resultant of an unmixed sparse system of four Laurent polynomials in three variables with arbitrary support. This follows earlier work by the author on exact formulas for bivariate…
