A unimodular $2\times 2$ matrix with entries in a commutative $R$ is called extendable (resp.\ simply extendable) if it extends to an invertible $3\times 3$ matrix (resp.\ invertible $3\times 3$ matrix whose $(3,3)$ entry is $0$). We obtain…
We introduce the class E2 (resp. SE2) of commutative rings R with the property that each unimodular 2 x 2 matrix with entries in R extends to an invertible 3 x 3 matrix (resp. invertible 3 x 3 matrix whose (3, 3) entry is 0). Among…
We reobtain and often refine prior criteria due to Kaplansky, McGovern, Roitman, Shchedryk, Wiegand, and Zabavsky--Bilavska and obtain new criteria for a Hermite ring to be an \textsl{EDR}. We mention three criteria: (1) a Hermite ring $R$…
Let $T$ be a Noetherian ring and $f$ a nonzerodivisor on $T$. We study concrete necessary and sufficient conditions for a module over $R=T/(f)$ to be weakly liftable to $T$, in the sense of Auslander, Ding and Solberg. We focus on cyclic…
A ring $R$ is an elementary divisor ring if every matrix over $R$ admits a diagonal reduction. We further explore various stable like conditions on a bezout duo-domain under which it is an elementary divisor domain. Many known results are…
A ring $R$ is said to be i-reversible if for every $a,b$ $\in$ $R$, $ab$ is a non-zero idempotent implies $ba$ is an idempotent. It is known that the rings $M_n(R)$ and $T_n(R)$ (the ring of all upper triangular matrices over $R$) are not…
A commutative ring $R$ is J-stable provided that for any $a\not\in J(R)$, $R/aR$ has stable range one. A ring $R$ is called an elementary divisor ring if every $m\times n$ matrix over $R$ admits diagonal reduction. We prove that a J-stabe…
If $A$ is an integer valued, strictly expansive matrix, then there exists an orthonormal $A$-wavelet whose Fourier transform is compactly supported and smooth. We show that strongly connected diagonally dominant integer matrices are…
This paper introduces a framework to study discrete optimization problems which are parametric in the following sense: their constraint matrices correspond to matrices over the ring $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ of polynomials in one variable. We…
We show that a ring $\,R\,$ has two idempotents $\,e,e'\,$ with an invertible commutator $\,ee'-e'e\,$ if and only if $\,R \cong {\mathbb M}_2(S)\,$ for a ring $\,S\,$ in which $\,1\,$ is a sum of two units. In this case, the…
We revisit the concept of a minimal basis through the lens of the theory of modules over a commutative ring $R$. We first review the conditions for the existence of a basis for submodules of $R^n$ where $R$ is a B\'{e}zout domain. Then, we…
A new class of rings, {\em the class of weakly left localizable rings}, is introduced. A ring $R$ is called {\em weakly left localizable} if each non-nilpotent element of $R$ is invertible in some left localization $S^{-1}R$ of the ring…
We introduce and study a nontrivial generalization of uniserial modules and rings. A module is called weakly uniserial if its submodules are comparable regarding embedding. Also, a right (resp., left) weakly uniserial ring is a ring which…
A commutative ring R is locally stable provided that for any $a,b\in R$ such that $aR+bR=R$, there exist some $y\in R$ such that $R/(a+by)R$ has stable range 1.For a Bezout ring $R$, we prove that $R$ is an elementary divisor ring if and…
A ring R is said to be of stable range 1.5 if for each a, b from R and nonzero c from R satisfying aR + bR + cR = R there exists r from R such that (a + br)R + cR = R. Let R be a commutative domain in which all finitely generated ideals are…
Let n be a positive integer, and let A be a strongly commutative differential graded (DG) algebra over a commutative ring R. Assume that (a) B=A[X_1,...,X_n] is a polynomial extension of A, where X_1,...,X_n are variables of positive…
We explore elementary matrix reduction over certain rings characterized by their localizations. Let $R$ be a locally stable ring, we prove that $R$ is an elementary divisor ring if and only if $R$ is a Bezout ring. Elementary matrix…
An integer matrix $\mathbf{A}$ is $\Delta$-modular if the determinant of each $\text{rank}(\mathbf{A}) \times \text{rank}(\mathbf{A})$ submatrix of $\mathbf{A}$ has absolute value at most $\Delta$. The study of $\Delta$-modular matrices…
In this paper, we study the complexity of computing the determinant of a matrix over a non-commutative algebra. In particular, we ask the question, "over which algebras, is the determinant easier to compute than the permanent?" Towards…
A commutator of unipotent matrices of index 2 is a matrix of the form $XYX^{-1}Y^{-1}$, where $X$ and $Y$ are unipotent matrices of index 2, that is, $X\ne I_n$, $Y\ne I_n$, and $(X-I_n)^2=(Y-I_n)^2=0_n$. If $n>2$ and $\mathbb F$ is a field…
