We prove that $\det A\leq 6^\frac{n}{6}$ whenever $A\in\{0,1\}^{n\times n}$ contains at most $2n$ ones. We also prove an upper bound on the determinant of matrices with the $k$-consecutive ones property, a generalisation of the consecutive…
We consider the set of $n\times n$ matrices with rational entries having numerator and denominator of size at most $H$ and obtain upper and lower bounds on the number of such matrices of a given rank and then apply them to count such…
Motivated by recent works on statistics of matrices over sets of number theoretic interest, we study matrices with entries from arbitrary finite subsets $\mathcal A$ of finite rank multiplicative groups infields of characteristic zero. We…
Given a set $X$ of $n\times n$ matrices and a positive integer $m$, we consider the problem of estimating the cardinalities of the product sets $A_1 \dotsc A_m$, where $A_i\in X$. When $X=\mathcal M_n(\mathbb{Z};H)$, the set of $n\times n$…
We derive upper and lower bounds on the determinant of an exponential matrix. They can be transformed into corresponding bounds for the determinant of a univariate Gaussian matrix.
In this paper, the determinants of $n\times n$ matrices over commutative finite chain rings and over commutative finite principal ideal rings are studied. The number of $n\times n$ matrices over a commutative finite chain ring ${R}$ of a…
We consider the set $\mathcal{M}_n(\mathbb{Z}; H)$ of $n\times n$-matrices with integer elements of size at most $H$ and obtain upper and lower bounds on the number of distinct irreducible characteristic polynomials which correspond to…
We consider the set $\mathcal{M}_n(\mathbb Z; H)$ of $n\times n$-matrices with integer elements of size at most $H$ and obtain a new upper bound on the number of matrices from $\mathcal{M}_n(\mathbb Z; H)$ with a given characteristic…
We estimate weighted character sums with determinants $ad-bc $ of $2\times 2$ matrices modulo a prime $p$ with entries $a,b,c,d $ varying over the interval $ [1,N]$. Our goal is to obtain nontrivial bounds for values of $N$ as small as…
Let $A$ be an additive basis of order $h$ and $X$ be a finite nonempty subset of $A$ such that the set $A \setminus X$ is still a basis. In this article, we give several upper bounds for the order of $A \setminus X$ in function of the order…
We associate with a matrix over an arbitrary field an infinite family of matrices whose sizes vary from one to infinity; their entries are traces of powers of the original matrix. We explicitly evaluate the determinants of matrices in our…
We give upper and lower bounds on the determinant of a perturbation of the identity matrix or, more generally, a perturbation of a nonsingular diagonal matrix. The matrices considered are, in general, diagonally dominant. The lower bounds…
We describe algorithms for computing maximal determinants of binary circulant matrices of small orders. Here "binary matrix" means a matrix whose elements are drawn from $\{0,1\}$ or $\{-1,1\}$. We describe efficient parallel algorithms for…
To determine whether an $n\times n$-matrix has rank at most $r$ it suffices to check that the $(r+1)\times (r+1)$-minors have rank at most $r$. In other words, to describe the set of $n\times n$-matrices with the property of having rank at…
We give general lower bounds on the maximal determinant of n by n {+1,-1}-matrices, both with and without the assumption of the Hadamard conjecture. Our bounds improve on earlier results of de Launey and Levin (2010) and, for certain…
In nonadaptive group testing, the main research objective is to design an efficient algorithm to identify a set of up to $t$ positive elements among $n$ samples with as few tests as possible. Disjunct matrices and separable matrices are two…
We develop a notion of {\em inner rank} as a tool for obtaining lower bounds on the rank of matrix multiplication tensors. We use it to give a short proof that the border rank (and therefore rank) of the tensor associated with $n\times n$…
To each associative unitary finite-dimensional algebra over a normal base, we associative a canonical multiplicative function called its determinant. We give various properties of this construction, as well as applications to the topology…
In this (mostly expository) paper I want to share some observations prompted by a class of matrices whose determinants are Catalan numbers. Considering different methods of proof we obtain some generalizations and q-analogues and…
Four constructions result from a desire to create enhancements to Cantor's infinite real set cardinality. Each continues to keep Cantor's cardinality formulation in place while providing new comparisons of arbitrary infinite sets. To…
