Bidiagonal matrices are widespread in numerical linear algebra, not least because of their use in the standard algorithm for computing the singular value decomposition and their appearance as LU factors of tridiagonal matrices. We show that…

We prove that the known sufficient conditions on the real parameters $(p,q)$ for which the matrix power mean inequality $((A^p+B^p)/2)^{1/p}\le((A^q+B^q)/2)^{1/q}$ holds for every pair of matrices $A,B>0$ are indeed best possible. The proof…

For $n\ge 5$, we prove that every $n\times n$ matrix $M=(a_{i,j})$ with entries in $\{-1,1\}$ and absolute discrepancy $|\mathrm{disc}(M)|=|\sum a_{i,j}|\le n$ contains a zero-sum square except for the split matrix (up to symmetries). Here,…

It is a classical fact that domains of convergence of power series of several complex variables are characterized as logarithmically convex complete Reinhardt domains; let $D \subsetneq \mathbb{C}^N$ be such a domain. We show that a…

Applied to a nonnegative $m\times n$ matrix with a nonzero $\sigma$-diagonal, the sequence of matrices constructed by alternate row and column scaling conveges to a doubly stochastic matrix. It is proved that if this sequence converges…

The recursive relation starts to appear by putting a function $y(x)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty }d_n x^n$ into a linear ordinary differential equation (ODE). There can be $d$-term of sequences in the recurrence relation of a power series where…

We will prove several congruences modulo a power of a prime such as $$ \sum_{0<k_1<...<k_{n}<p}\leg{p-k_{n}}{3} {(-1)^{k_{n}}\over k_1... k_{n}}\equiv {lll} -{2^{n+1}+2\over 6^{n+1}} p B_{p-n-1}({1\over 3}) &\pmod{p^2} &{if $n$ is odd}…

In this note we prove results of the following types. Let be given distinct complex numbers $z_j$ satisfying the conditions $|z_j| = 1, z_j \not= 1$ for $j=1,..., n$ and for every $z_j$ there exists an $ i$ such that $z_i = \bar{z_j}. $…

In this paper, we consider matrices whose entries are combinatorial sequences which can be expressed in terms of a convolution of elementary and complete homogeneous symmetric functions. We establish the total positivity of these matrices…

We show that the maximal number of equal entries in a totally positive (resp. totally nonsingular) $n\textrm{-by-}n$ matrix is $\Theta(n^{4/3})$ (resp. $\Theta(n^{3/2}$)). Relationships with point-line incidences in the plane, Bruhat order…

In this note we prove that Tr (MN+ PQ)>= 0 when the following two conditions are met: (i) the matrices M, N, P, Q are structured as follows: M = A -B, N = inv(B)-inv(A), P = C-D, Q =inv (B+D)-inv(A+C), where inv(X) denotes the inverse…

In this paper we consider matrix and vector models in the large N limit ($N \times N$ matrices and vectors with N^{2} components). For the case of zero-dimensional model (D=0) it is proved that in the strong coupling limit $g \to \infty$…

It is known that every complex trace-zero matrix is the sum of four square-zero matrices, but not necessarily of three such matrices. In this note, we prove that for every trace-zero matrix $A$ over an arbitrary field, there is a…

We consider the infinite sequences $(A\_n)\_{n\in\NN}$ of $2\times2$ matrices with nonnegative entries, where the $A\_n$ are taken in a finite set of matrices. Given a vector $V=\pmatrix{v\_1\cr v\_2}$ with $v\_1,v\_2>0$, we give a…

We address the issue of establishing standard forms for nonnegative and Metzler matrices by considering their similarity to nonnegative and Metzler Hessenberg matrices. It is shown that for dimensions $n \geq 3$, there always exists a…

We consider real orthogonal $n\times n$ matrices whose diagonal entries are zero and off-diagonal entries nonzero, which we refer to as $\mathrm{OMZD}(n)$. We show that there exists an $\mathrm{OMZD}(n)$ if and only if $n\neq 1,\ 3$, and…

We present a systematic study on the linear convergence rates of the powers of (real or complex) matrices. We derive a characterization when the optimal convergence rate is attained. This characterization is given in terms of…

Let $\mathcal{Q}$ be a quaternion division algebra over a field, and $n \geq 2$ be an integer. In a recent article, de La Cruz et al have proved that every $n$-by-$n$ matrix with entries in $\mathcal{Q}$ and pure quaternionic trace is the…

For any $n\ge 2$ and fixed $k\ge 1$, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for an arbitrary nonzero square matrix in the matrix ring $\mathbb{M}_n(\mathbb{F})$ to be written as a sum of an invertible matrix $U$ and a nilpotent matrix…
