As was detailed by Loewy and London in [Linear and Multilinear Algebra 6 (1978/79), no.~1, 83--90], the cone of polynomials that preserve the nonnegativity of matrices may play an important role in the solution to the nonnegative inverse…

We consider polynomials in R[x] which map the set of nonnegative (element-wise) matrices of a given order into itself. Let n be a positive integer and define P(n)= {p in R[x] : p(A) is nonnegative (element-wise), for all A, A an n-by-n…

A known characterization for entire functions that preserve all nonnegative matrices of order two is shown to characterize polynomials that preserve nonnegative matrices of order two. Equivalent conditions are derived and used to prove that…

A recently-established necessary condition for polynomials that preserve the class of entrywise nonnegative matrices of a fixed order is shown to be necessary and sufficient for the class of nonnegative monomial matrices. Along the way, we…

We study the inverse problem in the theory of (standard) orthogonal polynomials involving two polynomials families $(P_n)_n$ and $(Q_n)_n$ which are connected by a linear algebraic structure such as $$P_n(x)+\sum_{i=1}^N…

Let $\A$ be an algebra and let $f(x_1,...,x_d)$ be a multilinear polynomial in noncommuting indeterminates $x_i$. We consider the problem of describing linear maps $\phi:\A\to \A$ that preserve zeros of $f$. Under certain technical…

This note is an introduction to the properties of stable polynomials in several variables with real or complex coefficients. These polynomials are defined in terms of where the polynomial is non-vanishing. We do not cover well-known topics…

For an $n \times n$ nonnegative matrix $P$, an isomorphism is obtained between the lattice of initial subsets (of ${1,...,n}$) for $P$ and the lattice of $P$-invariant faces of the nonnegative orthant $\IR^{n}_{+}$. Motivated by this…

Following the classical approach of P\'olya-Schur theory we initiate in this paper the study of linear operators acting on $\mathbb{R}[x]$ and preserving either the set of positive univariate polynomials or similar sets of non-negative and…

We consider homogeneous multiaffine polynomials whose coefficients are the Pl\"ucker coordinates of a point $V$ of the Grassmannian. We show that such a polynomial is stable (with respect to the upper half plane) if and only if $V$ is in…

Our focus is upon {\it irreducible} nonnegative $n$-by-$n$ matrix realizations of nonnegatively realizable spectra or, equivalently, characteristic polynomials. After giving some general background, we make some useful new observations and…

This work is divided into three parts. The first part concerns polynomials in one variable with all real roots. We consider linear transformations that preserve real rootedness, as well as matrices that preserve interlacing. The second part…

We introduce the concept of shape partition of a tensor and formulate a general tensor eigenvalue problem that includes all previously studied eigenvalue problems as special cases. We formulate irreducibility and symmetry properties of a…

Given a closed, convex cone $K\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$, a multivariate polynomial $f\in\mathbb{C}[\mathbf{z}]$ is called $K$-stable if the imaginary parts of its roots are not contained in the relative interior of $K$. If $K$ is the…

Let $\mathbb F$ be a field and $P \in \mathbb F [x_1,\ldots, x_n]$ be a homogeneous polynomial such that $|\mathbb F| > \deg(P)$ and $\phi, \psi\colon \mathbb F^n \to \mathbb F^n$ be two maps such that $P(\mathbf{x} + \lambda\mathbf{y}) =…

The nonnegative inverse eigenvalue problem (NIEP) asks which lists of $n$ complex numbers (counting multiplicity) occur as the eigenvalues of some $n$-by-$n$ entry-wise nonnegative matrix. The NIEP has a long history and is a known hard…

We say that a list of complex numbers is "realisable" if it is the spectrum of some (entrywise) nonnegative matrix. The Nonnegative Inverse Eigenvalue Problem (NIEP) is the problem of characterising all realisable lists. Although the NIEP…
