We investigate the convex hulls of the eight dihedral symmetry classes of $n \times n$ alternating sign matrices, i.e., ASMs invariant under a subgroup of the symmetry group of the square. Extending the prefix-sum description of the ASM…
We consider certain functional identities on the matrix algebra $M_n$ that are defined similarly as the trace identities, except that the "coefficients" are arbitrary polynomials, not necessarily those expressible by the traces. The main…
We introduce a new map from polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle to polynomials orthogonal on the real axis. This map is closely related with the theory of CMV matrices. It contains an arbitrary parameter which leads to a linear…
We study distinct $(0,1)$ matrices $A$ and $B$, called \textit{Gram mates}, such that $AA^T=BB^T$ and $A^TA=B^TB$. We characterize Gram mates where one can be obtained from the other by changing signs of some positive singular values. We…
We recall criteria on the spectrum of Jacobi matrices such that the corresponding isospectral torus consists of periodic operators. Motivated by those known results for Jacobi matrices, we define a new class of operators called GMP…
We characterize group symmetries of poly-phase complementary code matrices (CCMs), which we use to classify CCMs in terms of their equivalence classes. We also present classification results for CCMs of dimension $N\times 4$ where…
This article examines matrices whose entries are determined by recursive relations of the form $A_{i, j} = x A_{i, j-1} + y A_{i-1, j-1} + z A_{i-1, j}$, where $x, y, z$ are constants, and the initial conditions are defined along the first…
Matrix congruence can be used to mimic linear maps between homogeneous quadratic polynomials in $n$ variables. We introduce a generalization, called standard-form congruence, which mimics affine maps between non-homogeneous quadratic…
Copositive and completely positive matrices play an increasingly important role in Applied Mathematics, namely as a key concept for approximating NP-hard optimization problems. The cone of copositive matrices of a given order and the cone…
Let $\mathbb{K}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and $\mathbb{K}[x,y]$ the polynomial ring. The group $\text{SL}_{2}\left(\mathbb{K}[x,y]\right)$ of all matrices with determinant equal to $1$ over $\mathbb{K}[x,y]$…
We propose a specific class of matrices which participate in factorization problems that turn to be equivalent to constant and entwining (non-constant) pentagon, reverse-pentagon or Yang-Baxter maps, expressed in non-commutative variables.…
Matrix pencils, or pairs of matrices, may be used in a variety of applications. In particular, a pair of matrices (E,A) may be interpreted as the differential equation E x' + A x = 0. Such an equation is invariant by changes of variables,…
We show that many existing divisibility sequences can be seen as sequences of determinants of matrix divisibility sequences, which arise naturally as Jacobian matrices associated to groups of maps on affine spaces.
Two matrices are said to be principal minor equivalent if they have equal corresponding principal minors of all orders. We give a characterization of principal minor equivalence and a deterministic polynomial time algorithm to check if two…
We introduce a hypergraph matrix, named the unified matrix, and use it to represent the hypergraph as a graph. We show that the unified matrix of a hypergraph is identical to the adjacency matrix of the associated graph. This enables us to…
In this paper the main results in arXiv:0901.3179v3, related to the matrix representation of polynomial maps, are restated in traditional way of linear algebra assuming that variable vectors are presented as column vectors. Some new results…
We describe a class of matrices whose determinants are trivial to compute. A nice example of such a matrix is given by considering the symmetric matrix with entries {i+j choose i} (mod 2) in {0,1}, 0 <= i,j < n the binomial coefficients…
We introduce a new family $\mathcal{A}_{n,k}$ of Schur positive symmetric functions, which are defined as sums over totally symmetric plane partitions. In the first part, we show that, for $k=1$, this family is equal to a multivariate…
First, we prove that the set of $n\times n$ complex matrices is the closure of a certain open subset whose elements have a very specific canonical form under congruence, which is uniquely determined up to the values of some parameters, but…
A superposition of a matrix ensemble refers to the ensemble constructed from two independent copies of the original, while a decimation refers to the formation of a new ensemble by observing only every second eigenvalue. In the cases of the…
