We discuss the use of matrices for providing sequences of rationals that approximate algebraic irrationalities. In particular, we study the regular representation of algebraic extensions, proving that ratios between two entries of the…
To apportion a complex matrix means to apply a similarity so that all entries of the resulting matrix have the same magnitude. We initiate the study of apportionment, both by unitary matrix similarity and general matrix similarity. There…
We consider linear systems $Ax = b$ where $A \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times n}$ consists of normalized rows, $\|a_i\|_{\ell^2} = 1$, and where up to $\beta m$ entries of $b$ have been corrupted (possibly by arbitrarily large numbers). Haddock,…
Several matrix/operator inequalies are given. Most of them are unexpected extensions of the Araki Log-majorization theorem, obtained thanks to a new log-majorization for positive linear maps and normal operators (Theorem 2.9). The main idea…
We construct a new class of positive indecomposable maps in the algebra of 'd x d' complex matrices. Each map is uniquely characterized by a cyclic bistochastic matrix. This class generalizes a Choi map for d=3. It provides a new reach…
Distance well-defined graphs consist of connected undirected graphs, strongly connected directed graphs and strongly connected mixed graphs. Let $G$ be a distance well-defined graph, and let ${\sf D}(G)$ be the distance matrix of $G$.…
The Lang map, namely the universal dominant rational map to a variety of general type, is constructed and briefly discussed in relation with arithmetic conjectures of Harris, Lang and Manin. Existence of the Lang map follows from the…
A commutative associative algebra A with an identity over the field of real numbers which has a basis, where all elements are invertible, is considered in the work. Moreover, among matrixes consisting of the structure constants of A, there…
Let L_n be the n-dimensional Lorentz cone. A linear map M from R^m to R^n is called Lorentz-positive if M[L_m] is contained in L_n. We extend the notion of concurrence, which was initially introduced to quantify the entanglement of…
Given a totally positive matrix, can one insert a line (row or column) between two given lines while maintaining total positivity? This question was first posed and solved by Johnson and Smith who gave an algorithm that results in one…
Every positive multilinear map between $C^*$-algebras is separately weak$^*$-continuous. We show that the joint weak$^*$-continuity is equivalent to the joint weak$^*$-continuity of the multiplications of $C^*$-algebras under consideration.…
We prove that the sequence of eigencones (i.e., cones of nonnegative eigenvectors) of positive powers A^k of a nonnegative square matrix A is periodic both in max algebra and in nonnegative linear algebra. Using an argument of Pullman, we…
We suggest that a certain one-to-one parametrization of completely positive maps on the matrix algebra might be useful in the study of quantum channels. This is illustrated in the case of binary quantum channels. While the algorithm is…
A real square matrix is algebraically positive if there exists a real polynomial $f$ such that $f(A)$ is a positive matrix. In this paper, we give a sufficient condition for a sign pattern matrix to allow algebraic positivity, and give some…
We comment on the article by M. Ozdemir and M. Erdogdu. We indicate that the exponential map onto the Lorentz group can be obtained in two elementary ways. The first way utilizes a commutative algebra involving a conjugate of a…
A linear map between matrix algebras corresponds to the Choi matrix in the tensor product of two matrix algebras, whose definition depends on the matrix units. Paulsen and Shultz [J. Math. Phys. {\bf 54} (2013), 072201] considered the…
The most general evolution of the density matrix of a quantum system with a finite-dimensional state space is by stochastic maps which take a density matrix linearly into the set of density matrices. These dynamical stochastic maps form a…
Bilinear maps and their classifying tensor products are well-known in the theory of linear algebra, and their generalization to algebras of commutative monads is a classical result of monad theory. Motivated by constructions needed in…
We study the images of polynomial maps over algebraically closed division rings. Our first result generalizes the classical Ax-Grothendieck theorem: We show that if $ f_1, \ldots, f_m $ are elements of the free associative algebra $…
An oriented graph is said positively multiplicative when its adjacency matrix $A$ embeds in a matrix algebra admitting a basis $\mathsf{B}$ with nonnegative structure constants in which the matrix of the multiplication by $A$ coincides with…
