The combined matrix is a very useful concept for many applications. Almost strictly sign regular (ASSR) matrices form an important structured class of matrices with two possible zero patterns, which are either type-I staircase or type-II…
A matrix $A\in \mathbb{R}^{m \times n}$ is strictly sign regular/SSR (or sign regular/SR) if for each $1 \leq k \leq \min\{m,n\}$, all (non-zero) $k\times k$ minors of $A$ have the same sign. This class of matrices contains the totally…
A new condition, the strong inner product property, is introduced and used to construct sign patterns of row orthogonal matrices. Using this property, infinite families of sign patterns allowing row orthogonality are found. These provide…
Numerical computations involving rational matrices often benefit from preserving underlying matrix structures such as symmetry, Hermitian properties, or sparsity that reflect physical, geometric, or algebraic characteristics of the system.…
We show a simple method for constructing larger matrices but preserving the spectral radius. This yields a sufficient criteria for two square matrices of arbitrary dimension have the same spectral radius, a way to compare spectral radii of…
We prove that we can always construct strongly minimal linearizations of an arbitrary rational matrix from its Laurent expansion around the point at infinity, which happens to be the case for polynomial matrices expressed in the monomial…
We introduce a variant of PCPs, that we refer to as rectangular PCPs, wherein proofs are thought of as square matrices, and the random coins used by the verifier can be partitioned into two disjoint sets, one determining the row of each…
The main results of this paper are twofold: the first one is a matrix theoretical result. We say that a matriz is superregular if all of its minors that are not trivially zero are nonzero. Given a a times b, a larger than or equal to b,…
Given a real symmetric $n\times n$ matrix, the sepr-sequence $t_1\cdots t_n$ records information about the existence of principal minors of each order that are positive, negative, or zero. This paper extends the notion of the sepr-sequence…
Superregular matrices, i.e., matrices where all square submatrices are non-singular, have a wide range of applications in communications. A superregular block matrix is a broader concept where all full block submatrices, with the…
We give a new explicit construction of $n\times N$ matrices satisfying the Restricted Isometry Property (RIP). Namely, for some c>0, large N and any n satisfying N^{1-c} < n < N, we construct RIP matrices of order k^{1/2+c}. This overcomes…
An $r$-matrix is a matrix with symbols in $\{0,1,\dots,r-1\}$. A matrix is simple if it has no repeated columns. Let the support of a matrix $F$, $\text{supp}(F)$ be the largest simple matrix such that every column in $\text{supp}(F)$ is in…
We study {\em sign-restricted matrices} (SRMs), a class of rectangular $(0, \pm 1)$-matrices generalizing the alternating sign matrices (ASMs). In an SRM each partial column sum, starting from row 1, equals 0 or 1, and each partial row sum,…
Almost strictly sign regular matrices are sign regular matrices with a special zero pattern and whose nontrivial minors are nonzero. In this paper we provide several properties of almost strictly sign regular rectangular matrices and…
We consider the problem of certifying (strict) $k$-sign consistency of a matrix, that is, whether all of its $k$-th order minors share the same (strict) sign. Although this problem is generally of combinatorial complexity, we show that for…
Superregular matrices have the property that all of their submatrices, which can be full rank are so. Lower triangular superregular matrices are useful for e.g., maximum distance separable convolutional codes as well as for (sequential)…
In this paper, we consider the Reed-Muller (RM) codes. For the first order RM code, we prove that it is unique in the sense that any linear code with the same length, dimension and minimum distance must be the first order RM code; For the…
This paper proposes a general algorithm called Store-zechin for quickly computing the permanent of an arbitrary square matrix. Its key idea is storage, multiplexing, and recursion. That is, in a recursive process, some sub-terms which have…
In this paper, deterministic construction of measurement matrices in Compressive Sensing (CS) is considered. First, by employing the column replacement concept, a theorem for construction of large minimum distance linear codes containing…
A real symmetric matrix $M$ is completely positive semidefinite if it admits a Gram representation by (Hermitian) positive semidefinite matrices of any size $d$. The smallest such $d$ is called the (complex) completely positive semidefinite…
