The numerical analysis of gradient inclusions in a compact subset of $2\times 2$ diagonal matrices is studied. Assuming that the boundary conditions are reached after a finite number of laminations and using piecewise linear finite…
When doubly-affine matrices such as Latin and magic squares with a single non-zero eigenvalue are powered up they become constant matrices after a few steps. The process of compounding squares of orders m and n can then be used to generate…
In this paper, we find an elementary approach for double sums where the inner sum is binomial but incomplete. We apply our core identity and its relatives to double sums involving famous numbers such as harmonic numbers, Fibonacci numbers,…
In this paper we give a new formula for the $n$-th power of a $2\times2$ matrix. More precisely, we prove the following: Let $A= \left ( \begin{matrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{matrix} \right )$ be an arbitrary $2\times2$ matrix, $T=a+d$ its…
This is a sequel to [SIGMA 9 (2013), 007, 23 pages, arXiv:1210.1177], in which there is a construction of a $2\times2$ positive-definite matrix function $K (x)$ on $\mathbb{R}^{2}$. The entries of $K(x)$ are expressed in terms of…
Given a square, nonsingular matrix of univariate polynomials $\mathbf{F}\in\mathbb{K}[x]^{n\times n}$ over a field $\mathbb{K}$, we give a deterministic algorithm for finding the determinant of $\mathbf{F}$. The complexity of the algorithm…
We investigate determinants of random unitary pencils (with scalar or matrix coefficients), which generalize the characteristic polynomial of a single unitary matrix. In particular we examine moments of such determinants, obtained by…
Let $p$ be a multilinear polynomial in several non-commuting variables with coefficients in a quadratically closed field $K$ of any characteristic. It has been conjectured that for any $n$, the image of $p$ evaluated on the set $M_n(K)$ of…
We present new bounds for the numerical radius of bounded linear operators and $2\times 2$ operator matrices. We apply upper bounds for the numerical radius to the Frobenius companion matrix of a complex monic polynomial to obtain new…
For any finite field $\mathbb{F}$ and any positive integer $n$ we count the number of monic polynomials of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{F}$ with nonzero constant coefficient and a self-reciprocal factor of any specified degree. An application…
Motivated by the recent developments on the complexity of non-com\-mu\-ta\-tive determinant and permanent [Chien et al.\ STOC 2011, Bl\"aser ICALP 2013, Gentry CCC 2014] we attempt at obtaining a tight characterization of hard instances of…
This work is divided into three parts. The first part concerns polynomials in one variable with all real roots. We consider linear transformations that preserve real rootedness, as well as matrices that preserve interlacing. The second part…
We extend the asymptotic formula for counting integral matrices with a given irreducible characteristic polynomial by Eskin, Mozes and Shah in 1996 to the case of counting elements in a maximal order of certain central simple algebra with a…
We derive analytic expressions for infinite products of random 2x2 matrices. The determinant of the target matrix is log-normally distributed, whereas the remainder is a surprisingly complicated function of a parameter characterizing the…
We use the representation theory of Lie algebras and computational linear algebra to determine the simplest nonconstant invariant polynomial in the entries of a general 2 x 2 x 3 array. This polynomial is homogeneous of degree 6 and has 66…
We consider the problem of enumerating hypermatrices of format $2 \times (k + 1) \times k$ over a finite field that have nonzero hyperdeterminant and whose nonzero entries are restricted to a plane partition. We conjecture an attractive…
In this article, we consider weighted sums of generalized polygonal numbers with coefficients $1$ or $2$. We show that for any $m\ge10$, those weighted sums of generalized $m$-gonal numbers represent every non-negative integers if they only…
