To a generic configuration of eight points in convex position in the plane, we associate a list consisting of the following information: for all of the 56 conics determined by five of the points, we specify the position of each remaining…
For each square matrix polynomial $P(\lambda)$ of odd degree, a block-symmetric block-tridiagonal pencil $\mathcal{T}_{P}(\lambda)$ was introduced by Antoniou and Vologiannidis in 2004, and a variation $\mathcal{R}_P(\lambda)$ was…
Suppose that c is a linear operator acting on an n-dimensional complex Hilbert Space H, and let tau denote the normalized trace on B(H). Set b_1 = (c+c*)/2 and b_2 = (c-c*)/2i, and write B for the the spectral scale of {b_1, b_2} with…
We elaborate on the deviation of the Jordan structures of two linear relations that are finite-dimensional perturbations of each other. We compare their number of Jordan chains of length at least $n$. In the operator case, it was recently…
To understand the solution of a linear, time-invariant differential-algebraic equation, one must analyze a matrix pencil (A,E) with singular E. Even when this pencil is stable (all its finite eigenvalues fall in the left-half plane), the…
In this paper we study a generalization of the class of orthogonal polynomials on the real line. These polynomials satisfy the following relation: $(J_5 - \lambda J_3) \vec p(\lambda) = 0$, where $J_3$ is a Jacobi matrix and $J_5$ is a…
We generalise the Elliptical Range Theorem to characterise the numerical range of matrices belonging to a subspace of the space of \(3 \times 3\) matrices. Using Specht's Theorem, which characterizes when two matrices are unitarily…
We extend the proof in [M.~Crouzeix and C.~Palencia, {\em The numerical range is a $(1 + \sqrt{2})$-spectral set}, SIAM Jour.~Matrix Anal.~Appl., 38 (2017), pp.~649-655] to show that other regions in the complex plane are $K$-spectral sets.…
Let $(S,D)$ be a minimal log pair of general type with $S$ a smooth projective surface and $D$ a simple normal corssing reduced divisor on $S$. We assume that its log canonial linear system $|K_S+D|$ is composed of a penciel, let $f\colon…
We obtain the generic complete eigenstructures of complex Hermitian $n\times n$ matrix pencils with rank at most $r$ (with $r\leq n$). To do this, we prove that the set of such pencils is the union of a finite number of bundle closures,…
We provide a sufficient condition for the numerical range of a nilpotent matrix N to be circular in terms of the existence of cycles in an undirected graph associated with N. We prove that if we add to this matrix N a diagonal real matrix…
We introduce the notion of a bisector field, which is a maximal collection of pairs of lines such that for each line in each pair, the midpoint of the points where the line crosses every pair is the same, regardless of choice of pair. We…
We study the essential spectrum of operator pencils associated with anisotropic Maxwell equations, with permittivity $\varepsilon$, permeability $\mu$ and conductivity $\sigma$, on finitely connected unbounded domains. The main result is…
Complete eigenstructure, e.g., eigenvalues with multiplicities and minimal indices, of a skew-symmetric matrix pencil may change drastically if the matrix coefficients of the pencil are subjected to (even small) perturbations. These changes…
A rooted planar map is a connected graph embedded in the 2-sphere, with one edge marked and assigned an orientation. A term of the pure lambda calculus is said to be linear if every variable is used exactly once, normal if it contains no…
By a result of Helton and McCullough, open bounded convex free semialgebraic sets are exactly open (matricial) solution sets D_L of a linear matrix inequality (LMI) L(X)>0. This paper gives a precise algebraic certificate for a polynomial…
This note treats a simple minded question: what does a typical random matrix range look like? We study the relationship between various modes of convergence for tuples of operators, on the one hand, and continuity of matrix ranges with…
Given a pair $A,B$ of matrices of size $n\times n$, we consider the matrix function $e^{At+B}$ of the variable $t\in\mathbb{C}$. If the matrix $A$ is Hermitian, the matrix function $e^{At+B}$ is representable as the bilateral Laplace…
Bundles of matrix pencils (under strict equivalence) are sets of pencils having the same Kronecker canonical form, up to the eigenvalues (namely, they are an infinite union of orbits under strict equivalence). The notion of bundle for…
Our goal is to study statistical properies of "dielectric resonances" which are poles of conductance of a large random $LC$ network. Such poles are a particular example of eigenvalues $\lambda_n$ of matrix pencils ${\bf H}-\lambda {\bf W}$,…
