We explore how the combinatorial arrangement of prescribed zeros in a matrix affects the possible eigenvalues that the matrix can obtain. We demonstrate that there are inertially arbitrary patterns having a digraph with no 2-cycle, unlike…

In a recent paper, Chan, \L aba, and Pramanik investigated geometric configurations inside thin subsets of the Euclidean set possessing measures with Fourier decay properties. In this paper we ask which configurations can be found inside…

Exhausters are families of convex compact sets that allow one to represent directional derivative of the studied function at the considered point in the form of InfMax or SupMin of linear functions. Functions for which such a representation…

In this paper, we introduce and study the iterates of the following family of functions $\varphi_k$ defined on natural numbers which exhibits nice properties. $$\varphi_k(x)=\left\lbrace \begin{array}{ll} x+k, & \mbox{ if $x$ is prime;}\\…

Non-autonomous self-similar sets are a family of compact sets which are, in some sense, highly homogeneous in space but highly inhomogeneous in scale. The main purpose of this note is to clarify various regularity properties and separation…

In this paper we introduce the \emph{robust random number generation} problem where the goal is to design an abstract tile assembly system (aTAM system) whose terminal assemblies can be split into $n$ partitions such that a resulting…

Groups of almost upper triangular infinite matrices with entries indexed by integers are studied. It is shown that, when the matrices are over a finite field, these groups admit a nondiscrete totally disconnected, locally compact group…

We give an example of an $\mathsf{FIID}$ vertex-labeling of $\mathbb{T}_3$ whose marginals are uniform on $[0,1]$, and if we delete the edges between those vertices whose labels are different, then some of the remaining clusters are…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a one-dimensional regular and Hausdorff topological space definable in a definably complete uniformly locally o-minimal structure of the second kind having definable bounded multiplication…

Six non-affine 3-parameter families of complex Hadamard matrices of order 8 are presented. These families contain Hadamard matrices that are not equivalent to any previously known Hadamard matrices in the literature. Each family arises from…

Let A be an n*n matrix with entries a_ij in the field C. Consider the following two involutive operations on such matrices: the matrix inversion I: A -> A^-1 and the element-by-element (or Hadamard) inversion J: a_ij -> a_ij^-1. We study…

In this paper we study a family of limsup sets that are defined using iterated function systems. Our main result is an analogue of Khintchine's theorem for these sets. We then apply this result to the topic of intrinsic Diophantine…

We prove that if $\mathbb{F}$ is a field of positive odd characteristic $p,$ and $m,$ and $n$ are positive integers such that $m\geq2,$ and $n\leq p,$ every $n\times n$ nonderogatory matrix $A\in \mathbb{M}_n(\mathbb{F})$ which is sum of…

Let $v_1$,..., $v_n$ be $n$ vectors in an inner product space. Can we find a natural number $d$ and positive (semidefinite) complex matrices $A_1$,..., $A_n$ of size $d \times d$ such that ${\rm Tr}(A_kA_l)= <v_k, v_l>$ for all $k,l=1,...,…

We consider a matrix semigroup $T: [0,\infty) \to \mathbb{R}^{d \times d}$ without assuming any measurability properties and show that, if $T$ is bounded close to $0$ and $T(t) \ge 0$ entrywise for all $t$, then $T$ is continuous. This…

Let $A$ be an expanding integer $n\times n$ matrix and $D$ be a finite subset of $Z^n$. The self-affine set $T=T(A,D)$ is the unique compact set satisfying the equality $A(T)=\cup_{d\in D} (T+d)$. We present an effective algorithm to…

We study the set of intrinsic singularities of flat affine systems with $n-1$ controls and $n$ states using the notion of Lie-B\"acklund atlas, previously introduced by the authors. For this purpose, we prove two easily computable…

The orbit of a point $x\in X$ in a classical iterated function system (IFS) can be defined as $\{f_u(x)=f_{u_n}\circ\cdots \circ f_{u_1}(x):$ $u=u_1\cdots u_n$ is a word of a full shift $\Sigma$ on finite symbols and $f_{u_i}$ is a…

Let $F=\{\mathbf{p}_0,\ldots,\mathbf{p}_n\}$ be a collection of points in $\mathbb{R}^d.$ The set $F$ naturally gives rise to a family of iterated function systems consisting of contractions of the form $$S_i(\mathbf{x})=\lambda \mathbf{x}…
