The equivalence of multidimensional systems is closely related to the reduction of multivariate polynomial matrices, with the Smith normal form of matrices playing a key role. So far, the problem of reducing multivariate polynomial matrices…

This paper investigates the equivalence reduction for several classes of multivariate polynomial matrices and their Smith forms, establishing some criteria for such reduction. In particular, we employ algebra isomorphisms as a key tool to…

This paper investigates the Smith normal form equivalence problem for multivariate polynomial matrices. Using methods from matrix theory and polynomial ideal theory, we prove that Frost and Storey's 1978 conjecture holds for a broad class…

In 1978, Frost and Storey asserted that a bivariate polynomial matrix is equivalent to its Smith normal form if and only if the reduced minors of all orders generate the unit ideal. In this paper, we first demonstrate by constructing an…

This paper investigates equivalence of square multivariate polynomial matrices with the determinant being some power of a univariate irreducible polynomial. We first generalized a global-local theorem of Vaserstein. Then we proved these…

Let $K$ be a field, $R=K[x, y]$ the polynomial ring and $\mathcal{M}(K)$ the set of all pairs of square matrices of the same size over $K.$ Pairs $P_1=(A_1,B_1)$ and $P_2=(A_2,B_2)$ from $\mathcal{M}(K)$ are called similar if…

This paper is concerned with the factorization and equivalence problems of multivariate polynomial matrices. We present some new criteria for the existence of matrix factorizations for a class of multivariate polynomial matrices, and obtain…

Consideration of a question of E. R. Berlekamp led Carlitz, Roselle, and Scoville to give a combinatorial interpretation of the entries of certain matrices of determinant~1 in terms of lattice paths. Here we generalize this result by…

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…

Polynomial $n\times n$ matrices $A(\lambda)$ and $B(\lambda)$ over a field $\mathbb F $ are called semi-scalar equivalent if there exist a nonsingular $n\times n$ matrix $P$ over the field $\mathbb F $ and an invertible $n\times n$ matrix…

In this paper we revisit the greatest common right divisor (GCRD) extraction from a set of polynomial matrices $P_i(\lambda)\in \F[\la]^{m_i\times n}$, $i=1,\ldots,k$ with coefficients in a generic field $\F$, and with common column…

This article studies separating invariants for the ring of multisymmetric polynomials in $m$ sets of $n$ variables over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{K}$. We prove that in order to obtain separating sets it is enough to consider polynomials…

To determine if two lists of numbers are the same set, we sort both lists and see if we get the same result. The sorted list is a canonical form for the equivalence relation of set equality. Other canonical forms arise in graph isomorphism…

We consider the problem of computing the nearest matrix polynomial with a non-trivial Smith Normal Form. We show that computing the Smith form of a matrix polynomial is amenable to numeric computation as an optimization problem.…

Given k similarity classes of invertible matrices, the Deligne-Simpson problem asks to determine whether or not one can find matrices in these classes whose product is the identity and with no common invariant subspace. The first author…

Let K be an infinite field and let R be a K-algebra endowed with a homogeneous polynomial norm N of degree n. If N satisfies a formal analogue of the Cayley-Hamilton Theorem the we will show that R is a quotient of the ring of the…

Schemes for exact multiplication of small matrices have a large symmetry group. This group defines an equivalence relation on the set of multiplication schemes. There are algorithms to decide whether two schemes are equivalent. However, for…

Given a field $F$, an integer $n\geq 1$, and a matrix $A\in M_n(F)$, are there polynomials $f,g\in F[X]$, with $f$ monic of degree $n$, such that $A$ is similar to $g(C_f)$, where $C_f$ is the companion matrix of $f$? For infinite fields…

It is known that if A and B are two n-by-n complex matrices and (A,A^T) is simultaneously equivalent to (B,B^T), then A is congruent to B. We extend this statement to multilinear forms.

We prove expressions for the inequalities in Hermite's theorem which are conditions for a real polynomial to have real zeros. These expressions generalize the discriminant of a quadratic polynomial and the expression of J. Mar\'ik for a…
