Ky Fan's trace minimization principle is extended along the line of the Brockett cost function $\mathrm{trace}(DX^H AX)$ in $X$ on the Stiefel manifold, where $D$ of an apt size is positive definite. Specifically, we investigate $\inf_X…

This paper studies algebraic properties of Hermitian solutions and Hermitian definite solutions of the two types of matrix equation $AX = B$ and $AXA^* = B$. We first establish a variety of rank and inertia formulas for calculating the…

Uhlmann showed that there exists a positive, unital and trace-preserving map transforming a Hermitian matrix $A$ into another $B$ if and only if the vector of eigenvalues of $A$ majorizes that of $B$. In this work I characterize the…

W.Specht (1940) proved that two $n\times n$ complex matrices $A$ and $B$ are unitarily similar if and only if $\operatorname{trace} w(A,A^{\ast}) = \operatorname{trace} w(B,B^{\ast})$ for every word $w(x,y)$ in two noncommuting variables.…

We obtain tight lower bounds for the trace norm $\Vert \cdot \Vert_1$ of some matrices with diagonal zero, in terms of the entry-wise $L^1$-norm (denoted by $\Vert \cdot \Vert_{(1)}$). It is shown that on the space of nonzero real symmetric…

Let X be a compact convex set and let ext X stand for the set of extreme points of X. We show that an affine function with the point of continuity property on X satisfies the minimum principle. As a corollary we obtain a generalization of a…

We first obtain a trace formula for immanants of generalized principal submatrix of any complex matrix based on any weight space for finite dimensional representations of the general linear group. Our trace formula contains Kostant's famous…

Let $T$ be a rooted tree, and $V(T)$ its set of vertices. A subset $X$ of $V(T)$ is called an infima closed set of $T$ if for any two vertices $u,v\in X$, the first common ancestor of $u$ and $v$ is also in $X$. This paper determines the…

The notions of infimum and maximal lower bounds of a set $\mathfrak M$ of bounded self-adjoint operators were mainly studied for a set $\mathfrak M$ of two elements. The present paper deals with more general sets $\mathfrak M$, where it is…

Matrix rank and inertia optimization problems are a class of discontinuous optimization problems in which the decision variables are matrices running over certain matrix sets, while the ranks and inertias of the variable matrices are taken…

In the present paper, fixed trace $\beta$-Hermite ensembles generalizing the fixed trace Gaussian Hermite ensemble are considered. For all $\beta$, we prove the Wigner semicircle law for these ensembles by using two different methods: one…

It has been shown that, regarding a terminating right-linear overlay term rewrite system (TRS), any rewrite sequence ending with a normal form can be simulated by the innermost reduction. In this paper, using this simulation property, we…

In this work we solve, for given bounded operators $B,C$ and Hilbert-Schmidt operator $M$ acting on potentially infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert spaces, the reduced rank approximation problem, $\min\{\lVert M-BXC\rVert_{L_2}:\…

Here is one of the results obtained in this paper: Let $X, Y$ be two convex sets each in a real vector space, let $J:X\times Y\to {\bf R}$ be convex and without global minima in $X$ and concave in $Y$, and let $\Phi:X\to {\bf R}$ be…

We consider the uniform approximation of the smallest eigenvalue of a large parameter-dependent Hermitian matrix by that of a smaller counterpart obtained through projections. The projection subspaces are constructed iteratively by means of…

We give canonical matrices of a pair (A,B) consisting of a nondegenerate form B and a linear operator A satisfying B(Ax,Ay)=B(x,y) on a vector space over F in the following cases: (i) F is an algebraically closed field of characteristic…

This paper explores the fibers of the principal minor map over a general field. The principal minor map is the map that assigns to each $n\times n$ matrix the $2^n$-vector of its principal minors. In $1984$, Hartfiel and Loewy proposed a…

Motivated by [9] we study the existence of the inverse of infinite Hermitian moment matrices associated with measures with support on the complex plane. We relate this problem to the asymptotic behaviour of the smallest eigenvalues of…

We introduce a transfer matrix method for the spectral analysis of discrete Hermitian operators with locally finite hopping. Such operators can be associated with a locally finite graph structure and the method works in principle on any…
