Let $A$ be a subset of positive integers. For a given positive integer $n$ and $0\leq i\leq n$ let $c_{A}(i,n)$ denotes the number of $A$-compositions of $n$ with exactly $i$ parts. In this note we investigate the sign behaviour of the…

Let ${\bf a}=(a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n)$ and ${\bf e}=(e_1, e_2, \ldots, e_n)$ be real sequences. Denote by $M_{{\bf e}\rightarrow {\bf a}}$ the $(n+1)\times(n+1)$ matrix whose $(m,k)$ entry ($m, k \in \{0,\ldots, n\}$) is the coefficient of…

A signed magic array, $SMA(m, n;s,t)$, is an $m \times n$ array with the same number of filled cells $s$ in each row and the same number of filled cells $t$ in each column, filled with a certain set of numbers that is symmetric about the…

In Communication theory and Coding, it is expected that certain circulant matrices having $k$ ones and $k+1$ zeros in the first row are nonsingular. We prove that such matrices are always nonsingular when $2k+1$ is either a power of a…

Let $\mathcal{S}$ be the set of all positive-definite, symmetrizable integer matrices with non-zero upper and lower diagonal and $\mathcal{T}$ to be the set of all positive-definite real symmetric matrices with nonzero upper diagonal such…

In the current short review we present the latest developments on linear maps $T:\mathbb{R}[x_1,\dots,x_n]\to\mathbb{R}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$, especially of $K$-positivity preserver, i.e., $Tp\geq 0$ on $K\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$ for all…

We consider the alternating sign matrices of the odd order that have some kind of central symmetry. Namely, we deal with matrices invariant under the half-turn, quarter-turn and flips in both diagonals. In all these cases, there are two…

In real Lie theory, matrices that admit a real logarithm reside in the identity component $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{R})_+$ of the general linear group $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{R})$, with logarithms in the Lie algebra…

In this paper, given a simple linear recurrence sequence of algebraic numbers, which has either a dominant characteristic root or exactly two characteristic roots of maximal modulus, we give some explicit lower bounds for the index beyond…

Given an operator system $\mathcal{S}$, we define the parameters $r_k(\mathcal{S})$ (resp. $d_k(\mathcal{S})$) defined as the maximal value of the completely bounded norm of a unital $k$-positive map from an arbitrary operator system into…

The signed enhanced principal rank characteristic sequence (sepr-sequence) of an $n \times n$ Hermitian matrix is the sequence $t_1t_2 \cdots t_n$, where $t_k$ is either $\tt A^*$, $\tt A^+$, $\tt A^-$, $\tt N$, $\tt S^*$, $\tt S^+$, or…

The trace norm of a matrix is the sum of its singular values. This paper presents results on the minimum trace norm $\psi_{n}\left( m\right) $ of $\left( 0,1\right) $-matrices of size $n\times n$ with exactly $m$ ones. It is shown that: (1)…

An alternating sign matrix, or ASM, is a $(0, \pm 1)$-matrix where the nonzero entries in each row and column alternate in sign. We generalize this notion to hypermatrices: an $n\times n\times n$ hypermatrix $A=[a_{ijk}]$ is an {\em…

Let $\mathcal{A}=(A_{1},...,A_{n},...)$ be a finite or infinite sequence of $2\times2$ matrices with entries in an integral domain. We show that, except for a very special case, $\mathcal{A}$ is (simultaneously) triangularizable if and only…

A sequence of $d+1$ signs $+$ and $-$ beginning with a $+$ is called a {\em sign pattern (SP)}. We say that the real polynomial $P:=x^d+\sum _{j=0}^{d-1}a_jx^j$, $a_j\neq 0$, defines the SP $\sigma :=(+$,sgn$(a_{d-1})$, $\ldots$,…

In this paper, we study the positive stability of $P$-matrices. We prove that a $P$-matrix A is positively stable if A is a $Q^2$-matrix and there is at least one nested sequence of principal submatrices of A each of which is also a…

We prove a stability version of a general result that bounds the permanent of a matrix in terms of its operator norm. More specifically, suppose $A$ is an $n \times n$ matrix over $\mathbb{C}$ (resp. $\mathbb{R}$), and let $\mathcal{P}$…

Over the past few years, trace regression models have received considerable attention in the context of matrix completion, quantum state tomography, and compressed sensing. Estimation of the underlying matrix from regularization-based…
