The nonnegative integer rank of a matrix is a variant of the classical nonnegative rank, introduced in the 1980s, where factorizations are required to have integer entries. While computing nonnegative integer rank is generally very hard, we…
In this paper we provide an algorithm, similar to the simplex algorithm, which determines a rational cp-factorization of a given matrix, whenever the matrix allows such a factorization. This algorithm can be used to show that every integral…
We introduce the strong recursive skeletonization factorization (RS-S), a new approximate matrix factorization based on recursive skeletonization for solving discretizations of linear integral equations associated with elliptic partial…
We develop a new method for entanglement detection in bipartite quantum states by using the violation of the rank-1-generated property of matrices. The positive-semidefinite matrices form a convex cone that has extremal elements of rank 1.…
We show factorization of polynomials in one variable over the tropical semiring is in general NP-complete, either if all coefficients are finite, or if all are either 0 or infinity (Boolean case). We give algorithms for the factorization…
In this paper we give a purely categorical construction of d-fold matrix factorizations of a natural transformation, for any even integer d. This recovers the classical definition of those for regular elements in commutative rings due to…
We continue the study of real polynomials acting entrywise on matrices of fixed dimension to preserve positive semidefiniteness, together with the related analysis of order properties of Schur polynomials. Previous work has shown that,…
Let $A$ be a matrix with nonnegative real entries. The PSD rank of $A$ is the smallest integer $k$ for which there exist $k\times k$ real PSD matrices $B_1,\ldots,B_m$, $C_1,\ldots,C_n$ satisfying $A(i|j)=\operatorname{tr}(B_iC_j)$ for all…
We present a novel recursive algorithm for reducing a symmetric matrix to a triangular factorization which reveals the rank profile matrix. That is, the algorithm computes a factorization $\mathbf{P}^T\mathbf{A}\mathbf{P} =…
The problem of factorization and parametrization of compactly supported biorthogonal wavelets was reduced to that of pseudoidentity matrix pairs by Resnikoff, Tian, and Wells in their 2001 paper. Based on a conjecture on the pseudoidentity…
A ring has bounded factorizations if every cancellative nonunit $a \in R$ can be written as a product of atoms and there is a bound $\lambda(a)$ on the lengths of such factorizations. The bounded factorization property is one of the most…
We study the computational complexity of constrained nonnegative Gram feasibility. Given a partially specified symmetric matrix together with affine relations among selected entries, the problem asks whether there exists a nonnegative…
We investigate fields of characteristic 0 and dp-rank 2. While we do not obtain a classification, we prove that any unstable field of characteristic 0 and dp-rank 2 admits a unique definable V-topology. If this statement could be…
We resolve an algebraic version of Schoenberg's celebrated theorem [Duke Math.J., 1942] characterizing entrywise matrix transforms that preserve positive definiteness. Compared to the classical real and complex settings, we consider…
In this note, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a matrix A in M to be finitely G-determined, where M is the ring of 2 x 2 matrices whose entries are formal power series over an infinite field, and G is a group acting on M by…
This paper investigates the theory of sum-rank metric codes for which the individual matrix blocks may have different sizes. Various bounds on the cardinality of a code are derived, along with their asymptotic extensions. The duality theory…
The positive semidefinite (psd) rank of a polytope is the smallest $k$ for which the cone of $k \times k$ real symmetric psd matrices admits an affine slice that projects onto the polytope. In this paper we show that the psd rank of a…
We introduce a new method for showing that the roots of the characteristic polynomial of certain finite lattices are all nonnegative integers. This method is based on the notion of a quotient of a poset which will be developed to explain…
An atomic monoid $M$ is called length-factorial if for every non-invertible element $x \in M$, no two distinct factorizations of $x$ into irreducibles have the same length (i.e., number of irreducible factors, counting repetitions). The…
We investigate the problem asking when any square matrix whose entries lie in a finite field of characteristic 2 is decomposable into the sum of a diagonalizable matrix and a nilpotent matrix with index of nilpotency at most 2 and, as a…
