This paper delves into the equivalence problem of Smith forms for multivariate polynomial matrices. Generally speaking, multivariate ($n \geq 2$) polynomial matrices and their Smith forms may not be equivalent. However, under certain…

The equivalence of multidimensional systems is closely related to the reduction of multivariate polynomial matrices, with the Smith normal form of matrices playing a key role. So far, the problem of reducing multivariate polynomial matrices…

It is known that any symmetric matrix $M$ with entries in $\R[x]$ and which is positive semi-definite for any substitution of $x\in\R$, has a Smith normal form whose diagonal coefficients are constant sign polynomials in $\R[x]$. We…

This paper investigates the equivalence reduction for several classes of multivariate polynomial matrices and their Smith forms, establishing some criteria for such reduction. In particular, we employ algebra isomorphisms as a key tool to…

This paper investigates equivalence of square multivariate polynomial matrices with the determinant being some power of a univariate irreducible polynomial. We first generalized a global-local theorem of Vaserstein. Then we proved these…

For a square-free bivariate polynomial $p$ of degree $n$ we introduce a simple and fast numerical algorithm for the construction of $n\times n$ matrices $A$, $B$, and $C$ such that $\det(A+xB+yC)=p(x,y)$. This is the minimal size needed to…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a field and let $f,g \in \mathbb{K}[x,y]$ be such that the ideal $\langle f,g \rangle$ is zero-dimensional. We study the Sylvester and B\'{e}zout resultant polynomial matrices, built by interpreting $f$ and $g$ as…

In 1973, Calder\'{o}n proved that an $m \times 2$ positive semidefinite (psd) biquadratic form can always be expressed as the sum of ${3m(m+1) \over 2}$ squares of quadratic forms. Very recently, by applying Hilbert's theorem on ternary…

We consider the additive version of the matrix denoising problem, where a random symmetric matrix $S$ of size $n$ has to be inferred from the observation of $Y=S+Z$, with $Z$ an independent random matrix modeling a noise. For prior…

We study SOS properties of biquadratic forms. For the class of partially symmetric biquadratic forms, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for positive semi-definiteness and prove that every PSD partially symmetric biquadratic…

Smith normal form evaluations found by Bessenrodt and Stanley for some Hankel matrices of q-Catalan numbers are proven in two ways. One argument generalizes the Bessenrodt-Stanley results for the Smith normal form of a certain multivariate…

We consider the problem of computing the nearest matrix polynomial with a non-trivial Smith Normal Form. We show that computing the Smith form of a matrix polynomial is amenable to numeric computation as an optimization problem.…

Following the works by Lin et al. (Circuits Syst. Signal Process. 20(6): 601-618, 2001) and Liu et al. (Circuits Syst. Signal Process. 30(3): 553-566, 2011), we investigate how to factorize a class of multivariate polynomial matrices. The…

We prove a conjecture of Miller and Reiner on the existence of Smith normal form for the $DU$-operators for a certain class of $r$-differential posets.

The purpose of this paper is to initiate a new attack on Arveson's resistant conjecture, that all graded submodules of the $d$-shift Hilbert module $H^2$ are essentially normal. We introduce the stable division property for modules (and…

V.I. Arnold [Russian Math. Surveys 26 (2) (1971) 29-43] constructed a miniversal deformation of matrices under similarity; that is, a simple normal form to which not only a given square matrix A but all matrices B close to it can be reduced…

Sylvester's criterion characterizes positive definite (PD) and positive semidefinite (PSD) matrices without the need of eigendecomposition. It states that a symmetric matrix is PD if and only if all of its leading principal minors are…

We prove that if $\sigma \in S_m$ is a pattern of $w \in S_n$, then we can express the Schubert polynomial $\mathfrak{S}_w$ as a monomial times $\mathfrak{S}_\sigma$ (in reindexed variables) plus a polynomial with nonnegative coefficients.…

Pursuing ideas of Jeff Smith, we develop a homotopy theory of ideals of monoids in a symmetric monoidal model category. This includes Smith ideals of structured ring spectra and of differential graded algebras. Such Smith ideals are NOT…
