A generalization of the Vandermonde matrices which arise when the power basis is replaced by the Said-Ball basis is considered. When the nodes are inside the interval (0,1), then those matrices are strictly totally positive. An algorithm…

In this paper, we prove that any collocation matrix of Bessel polynomials at positive points is strictly totally positive, that is, all its minors are positive. Moreover, an accurate method to construct the bidiagonal factorization of these…
We follow a stream of the history of positive matrices and positive functionals, as applied to algebraic sums of squares decompositions, with emphasis on the interaction between classical moment problems, function theory of one or several…

For a given set of input-output pairs of quantum states or observables, we ask the question whether there exists a physically implementable transformation that maps each of the inputs to the corresponding output. The physical maps on…
In this paper we return to the study of the Watson kernel for the Abel summabilty of Jacobi polynomial series. These estimates have been studied for over more than 30 years. The main innovations are in the techniques used to get the…
We provide sufficient conditions for systems of polynomial equations over general (real or complex) algebras to have a solution. This generalizes known results on quaternions, octonions and matrix algebras. We also generalize the…

We consider the problem of counting matrices over a finite field with fixed rank and support contained in a fixed set. The count of such matrices gives a $q$-analogue of the classical rook and hit numbers, known as the $q$-rook and $q$-hit…
We consider matrices with entries that are polynomials in $q$ arising from natural $q$-generalisations of two well-known formulas that count: forests on $n$ vertices with $k$ components; and trees on $n+1$ vertices where $k$ children of the…
The approach to solving linear systems with structured matrices by means of the bidiagonal factorization of the inverse of the coefficient matrix is first considered, the starting point being the classical Bjorck-Pereyra algorithms for…
A variety of universal similarity factorization equalities over real Clifford algebras ${\cal R}_{p,q}$ are established. On the basis of these equalities, real, complex and quaternion matrix representations of elements in ${\cal R}_{p,q}$…
The dual of a matrix ordered space has a natural matrix ordering that makes the dual space matrix ordered as well. The purpose of these notes is to give a condition that describes when the linear map taking a basis of the n by n matrices to…
