We draw attention to the fact that a Hermitian matrix is always diagonalizable and has real discrete spectrum whereas the Hermitian Schr{\"o}dinger Hamiltonian: $H=p^2/2\mu+V(x)$, may not be so. For instance when $V(x)=x, x^3, -x^2$, $H$…
We study linear time-invariant Dissipative Hamiltonian (DH) systems arising in energy-based modeling of dynamical systems. An advantage of DH systems is that they are always stable due to the structure of their coefficient matrices, and,…

LMI (Linear Matrix Inequalities) regions is an important class of convex subsets of $\mathbb C$ arising in control theory. An LMI region $\mathfrak D$ is defined by its matrix-valued characteristic function $f_{\mathfrak D}(z) = {\mathbf L}…
A hermitian matrix can be parametrized by a set consisting of its determinant and the eigenvalues of its submatrices. We established a group of equations which connect these variables with the mixing parameters of diagonalization. These…
Pseudo-hermitian matrices are matrices hermitian with respect to an indefinite metric. They can be thought of as the truncation of pseudo-hermitian operators, defined over some Krein space, together with the associated metric, to a finite…

We consider random matrix ensembles on the set of Hermitian matrices that are heavy tailed, in particular not all moments exist, and that are invariant under the conjugate action of the unitary group. The latter property entails that the…
