In a nutshell, we intend to extend Schoenberg's classical theorem connecting conditionally positive semidefinite functions $F\colon \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{C}$, $n \in \mathbb{N}$, and their positive semidefinite exponentials $\exp(tF)$,…

Hyper-Positive real, matrix-valued, rational functions are associated with absolute stability (the Lurie problem). Here, quantitative subsets of Hyper-positive functions, related through nested inclusions, are introduced. Structurally, this…

We show the following version of the Schur's product theorem. If $M=(M_{j,k})_{j,k=1}^n\in{\mathbb R}^{n\times n}$ is a positive semidefinite matrix with all entries on the diagonal equal to one, then the matrix $N=(N_{j,k})_{j,k=1}^n$ with…

Special functions are often defined as a Fourier or Laplace transform of a positive measure, and the positivity of the measure manifests as positive definiteness of certain matrices. The purpose of this expository note is to give a sample…

We investigate linear maps between matrix algebras that remain positive under tensor powers, i.e., under tensoring with $n$ copies of themselves. Completely positive and completely co-positive maps are trivial examples of this kind. We show…

Let $\mathbb{P}_G([0,\infty))$ and $\mathbb{P}_G^{'}([0,\infty))$ be the sets of positive semidefinite and positive definite matrices of order $n$, respectively, with nonnegative entries, where some positions of zero entries are restricted…

We provide a determinantal formula for tau-functions of the KP hierarchy in terms of rectangular, constant matrices $A$, $B$ and $C$ satisfying a rank one condition. This result is shown to generalize and unify many previous results of…

We study $K$-positivity preservers with given closed $K\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$, i.e., linear maps $T:\mathbb{R}[x_1,\dots,x_n]\to\mathbb{R}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ such that $T\mathrm{Pos}(K)\subseteq\mathrm{Pos}(K)$ holds, and their generators…

We deal with a reverse Carleson measure inequality for the tent spaces of analytic functions in the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ of the complex plane. The tent spaces of measurable functions were introduced by Coifman, Meyer and Stein. Let $1\leq…

Let T be a positive closed (p,p)-current of mass 1 on a compact Kahler manifold X. Then, there exist a constant c, independent of T, and smooth positive closed (p,p)-currents Tn and Sn of mass c such that Tn-Sn converge weakly to T. We also…

We give various characterizations for a positive unital Tr-preserving map on a matrix algebra to preserve the von Neumann entropy of a state. Among others, it is given by that the map behaves as a *-automorphism. This is also equivalent to…

Regular functions of infinite words are (partial) functions realized by deterministic two-way transducers with infinite look-ahead. Equivalently, Alur et. al. have shown that they correspond to functions realized by deterministic Muller…

We characterize all linear operators on finite or infinite-dimensional spaces of univariate real polynomials preserving the sets of elliptic, positive, and non-negative polynomials, respectively. This is done by means of Fischer-Fock…

This paper is devoted to the study of the parameter's set where the Green's function related to a general linear $n^{\rm th}$-order operator, depending on a real parameter, $T_n[M]$, coupled with many different two point boundary value…

A recently-established necessary condition for polynomials that preserve the class of entrywise nonnegative matrices of a fixed order is shown to be necessary and sufficient for the class of nonnegative monomial matrices. Along the way, we…

Lusztig showed that invertible totally nonnegative (TNN) matrices form a semigroup generated by positive diagonal matrices and Chevalley generators. From its Grassmann analogue, we introduce Chevalley operations on index sets, which we show…

In this paper, we study the properties of integral functionals induced on $L^1_E (S,\mu)$ by closed convex functions on a Euclidean space $E$. We give sufficient conditions for such integral functions to be strongly rotund (well-posed). We…

Let $\Gamma$ be a lattice in a simply connected nilpotent Lie group $G$. Given an infinite measure preserving action $T$ of $\Gamma$ and a "direction" in $G$ (i.e. an element $\theta$ of the projective space $P(\goth g)$ of the Lie algebra…

We introduce new partial orders on the set $S^+_n$ of positive-definite matrices of dimension $n$ derived from the homogeneous geometry of $S^+_n$ induced by the natural transitive action of the general linear group $GL(n)$. The orders are…

There has recently been renewed recognition of the need to understand the consistency properties that must be preserved when a generalized matrix inverse is required. The most widely known generalized inverse, the Moore-Penrose…
