This paper is devoted to the existence and non-existence of positive solutions for a $(p, q)$-Laplacian system with indefinite nonlinearity depending on two parameters $(\lambda,\mu)$. By using the sub-supersolution method together with…
We provide new computations in bounded cohomology: A group is boundedly acyclic if its bounded cohomology with trivial real coefficients is zero in all positive degrees. We show that there exists a continuum of finitely generated…
We give a criterion for the existence of a non-degenerate quasihomogeneous polynomial in a configuration, i.e. in the space of polynomials with a fixed set of weights, and clarify the relation of this criterion to the necessary condition…
We give a sufficient combinatorial condition for the non-negativity of the coefficients of polynomial quotients of products of $q$-integers, also known as cyclotomic generating functions (CGFs). This slightly extends work by Iano-Fletcher,…
Hadamard matrices in $\{0,1\}$ presentation are square $m\times m$ matrices whose entries are zeros and ones and whose rows considered as vectors in $\Bbb R^m$ produce the Gram matrix of a special form with respect to the standard scalar…
An analytical method for getting new complex Hadamard matrices by using mutually unbiased bases and a nonlinear doubling formula is provided. The method is illustrated with the n=4 case that leads to a rich family of eight-dimensional…
Hadamard matrices are square $n\times n$ matrices whose entries are ones and minus ones and whose rows are orthogonal to each other with respect to the standard scalar product in $\Bbb R^n$. Each Hadamard matrix can be transformed to a…
For positive definite matrices $A$ and $B$, the Kubo-Ando matrix power mean is defined as $$ P_\mu(p, A, B) = A^{1/2}\left(\frac{1+(A^{-1/2}BA^{-1/2})^p}{2}\right )^{1/p} A^{1/2}\quad (p \ge 0). $$ In this paper, for $0\le p \le 1 \le q$,…
We present a new approach to the problem of mutually unbiased bases (MUBs), based on positive definite functions on the unitary group. The method provides a new proof of the fact that there are at most $d+1$ MUBs in ${\mathbb C}^d$. It may…
This paper is concerned with the positive definite solutions to the matrix equation $X+A^{\mathrm{H}}\bar{X}^{-1}A=I$ where $X$ is the unknown and $A$ is a given complex matrix. By introducing and studying a matrix operator on complex…
It is conjectured that Hadamard matrices exist for all orders $4t$ ($t>0$). However, despite a sustained effort over more than five decades, the strongest overall existence results are asymptotic results of the form: for all odd natural…
One matrix structure in the area of monotone Boolean functions is defined here. Some of its combinatorial, algebraic and algorithmic properties are derived. On the base of these properties, three algorithms are built. First of them…
A real square matrix $A$ is called a $Q$-matrix if the linear complementarity problem $LCP(A,q)$ has a solution for all $q \in \mathbb{R}^n$. This means that for every vector $q$ there exists a vector $x$ such that $x \geq 0, y=Ax+q\geq 0$…
The aim of this paper is to give an existence result for a class of one-dimensional, non-convex, non-coercive problems in the Calculus of Variations. The main tools for the proof are an existence theorem in the convex case and the closure…
Hadamard ideals were introduced in 2006 as a set of nonlinear polynomial equations whose zeros are uniquely related to Hadamard matrices with one or two circulant cores of a given order. Based on this idea, the cocyclic Hadamard test enable…
In this note we investigate the existence of flat orthogonal matrices, i.e. real orthogonal matrices with all entries having absolute value close to $\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}$. Entries of $\pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}$ correspond to Hadamard matrices,…
We introduce the concept of a morphism from the set of Butson Hadamard matrices over kth roots of unity to the set of Butson matrices over $\ell$th roots of unity. As concrete examples of such morphisms, we describe tensor-product-like maps…
Extended $1$-perfect codes in the Hamming scheme $H(n,q)$ can be equivalently defined as codes that turn to $1$-perfect codes after puncturing in any coordinate, as completely regular codes with certain intersection array, as uniformly…
N-matrices are real $n\times n$ matrices all of whose principal minors are negative. We provide (i) an $O(2^n)$ test to detect whether or not a given matrix is an N-matrix, and (ii) a characterization of N-matrices, leading to the recursive…
