We study the real algebraic variety of real symmetric matrices with eigenvalue multiplicities determined by a partition. We present formulas for the dimension and Euclidean distance degree. We give a parametrization by rational functions.…
We prove certain duality properties and present recurrence relations for a four-parameter family of self-dual Koornwinder-Macdonald polynomials. The recurrence relations are used to verify Macdonald's normalization conjectures for these…
The integrable structure of Ginibre's Orthogonal Ensemble of random matrices is looked at through the prism of the probability "p_{n,k}" to find exactly "k" real eigenvalues in the spectrum of an "n" by "n" real asymmetric Gaussian random…
The aim of this paper is to study determinants of matrices related to the Pascal triangle.
The triangle of sorted binomial coefficients $\left\langle {n \atop k} \right\rangle = \binom{n}{\lfloor \frac{n - k}{2} \rfloor}$ for $0 \leq k \leq n$ has appeared several times in recent combinatorial works but has evaded dedicated…
We introduce a method for describing Riordan matrices via recurrence relations along their diagonals. This provides a new structural description that complements the classical row-wise and column-wise constructions via the A-sequence. As an…
A new family of asymmetric matrices of Walsh-Hadamard type is introduced. We study their properties and, in particular, compute their determinants and discuss their eigenvalues. The invertibility of these matrices implies that certain…
We study a three-parameter family of PT-symmetric Hamiltonians, related via the ODE/IM correspondence to the Perk-Schultz models. We show that real eigenvalues merge and become complex at quadratic and cubic exceptional points, and explore…
The generalized Fibonacci recurrence $g_n=g_{n-k}+g_{n-m}$ was recently used to demonstrate the theoretically optimal nature of limited senescence in morphologically symmetrically dividing bacteria. Here, we study this recurrence from a…
We confirm a recent conjecture of Xin and Zhang, which establishes a simple product formula for the characteristic polynomial of an $(n-1) \times (n-1)$ tridiagonal matrix $C$. This characteristic polynomial arises from a recurrence…
Given a symmetric polynomial $P$ in $2n$ variables, there exists a unique symmetric polynomial $Q$ in $n$ variables such that \[ P(x_1,\ldots,x_n,x_1^{-1},\ldots,x_n^{-1}) =Q(x_1+x_1^{-1},\ldots,x_n+x_n^{-1}). \] We denote this polynomial…
Building on previous work that provided analytical solutions to generalised matrix eigenvalue problems arising from numerical discretisations, this paper develops exact eigenvalues and eigenvectors for a broader class of $n$-dimensional…
Cauchy's interlace theorem states that the characteristic polynomial of a symmetric matrix is interlaced by the characteristic polynomial of any principle submatrix. We prove this in two sentences using only the linearity of the…
We present a real symmetric tri-diagonal matrix of order $n$ whose eigenvalues are $\{2k \}_{k=0}^{n-1}$ which also satisfies the additional condition that its leading principle submatrix has a uniformly interlaced spectrum, $\{2l + 1…
In this paper, we construct Pell matrices, analogous to Fibonacci matrices, to study algebraic properties of Pell numbers via linear algebra. This framework yields identities involving the trace, inverse, and determinant, as well as matrix…
We define and characterize the $\gamma$-matrix associated to Pascal-like matrices that are defined by ordinary and exponential Riordan arrays. We also define and characterize the $\gamma$-matrix of the reversions of these triangles, in the…
In this paper, we evaluate determinants of some families of Toeplitz-Hessenberg matrices having tribonacci number entries. These determinant formulas may also be expressed equivalently as identities that involve sums of products of…
It is well known that many problems in interval computation are intractable, which restricts our attempts to solve large problems in reasonable time. This does not mean, however, that all problems are computationally hard. Identifying…
Orthogonal polynomials on the real line always satisfy a three-term recurrence relation. The recurrence coefficients determine a tridiagonal semi-infinite matrix (Jacobi matrix) which uniquely characterizes the orthogonal polynomials. We…
Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a field of characteristic $p$, and let $UT_n(\mathbb{F})$ be the algebra of $n \times n$ upper triangular matrices over $\mathbb{F}$ with an involution of the first kind. In this paper we describe: the set of all…
