Following Benjamin et al., a matrix with entries being sums of two neighbouring Catalan numbers is considered. Its LU-decomposition is given, by guessing the results and later prove it by computer algebra, with lots of human help.…

Given a matrix U, using a deterministic method, we extract a "large" submatrix of U'(whose columns are obtained by normalizing those of U) and estimate its smallest and largest singular value. We apply this result to the study of contact…

An $n$ by $n$ skew-symmetric type $(-1,1)$-matrix $K=[k_{i,j}]$ has $1$'s on the main diagonal and $\pm 1$'s elsewhere with $k_{i,j}=-k_{j,i}$. The largest possible determinant of such a matrix $K$ is an interesting problem. The literature…
