Superregular matrices are a class of lower triangular Toeplitz matrices that arise in the context of constructing convolutional codes having a maximum distance profile. These matrices are characterized by the property that no submatrix has…
A trivially zero minor of a matrix is a minor having all its terms in the Leibniz formula equal to zero. A matrix is superregular if all of its minors that are not trivially zero are nonzero. In the area of Coding Theory, superregular…
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,…
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)…

It is known that semi-magic square matrices form a 2-graded algebra or superalgebra with the even and odd subspaces under centre-point reflection symmetry as the two components. We show that other symmetries which have been studied for…
We give lower bounds on the largest singular value of arbitrary matrices, some of which are asymptotically tight for almost all matrices. To study when these bounds are exact, we introduce several combinatorial concepts. In particular, we…
The standard format of matrices belonging to Lie superalgebras consists of partitioning the matrices into even and odd blocks. In this paper, we study other possible matrix formats and in particular the so-called diagonal format which…

Two matrices are said non-overlapping if one of them can not be put on the other one in a way such that the corresponding entries coincide. We provide a set of non-overlapping binary matrices and a formula to enumerate it which involves the…
We propose a method for the construction of sets of variable dimension strong non-overlapping matrices basing on any strong non-overlapping set of strings.
Sublinear circuits are generalizations of the affine circuits in matroid theory, and they arise as the convex-combinatorial core underlying constrained non-negativity certificates of exponential sums and of polynomials based on the…

Maximum distance separable convolutional codes are the codes that present best performance in error correction among all convolutional codes with certain rate and degree. In this paper, we show that taking the constant matrix coefficients…
