Let $V$ denote a vector space with finite positive dimension. We consider an ordered pair of linear transformations $A: V\to V$ and $A^*: V\to V$ that satisfy (i) and (ii) below. (i) There exists a basis for $V$ with respect to which the…
We characterize monomial ideals which are intersections of monomial prime ideals and study classes of ideals with this property, among them polymatroidal ideals.
Let $V$ denote a vector space over C with finite positive dimension. By a {\em Leonard triple} on $V$ we mean an ordered triple of linear operators on $V$ such that for each of these operators there exists a basis of $V$ with respect to…
In this paper we explore the topological properties of self-replicating, 3-dimensional manifolds, which are modeled by idempotents in the (2+1)-cobordism category. We give a classification theorem for all such idempotents. Additionally, we…
We examine so-called rank function equations and their solutions consisting of non-nilpotent matrices. Secondly, we present some geometrical properties of the set of solutions to certain rank function equations in the nilpotent case.
In these notes we develop some basic theory of idempotents in monoidal categories. We introduce and study the notion of a pair of complementary idempotents in a triangulated monoidal category, as well as more general idempotent…
Orthogonal Mueller matrices can be considered either as corresponding to retarders or to generalized transformations of the polarization basis for the representation of Stokes vectors, so that they constitute the only type of Mueller…
We present the explicit inverse of a class of symmetric tridiagonal matrices which is almost Toeplitz, except that the first and last diagonal elements are different from the rest. This class of tridiagonal matrices are of special interest…
In this article, we revisit some block matrix construction methods and use them to derive various general expansion formulas for calculating the ranks of matrix expressions. As applications, we derive a variety of interesting rank…
We characterize atomistic effect algebras, prove that a weakly orthocomplete Archimedean atomic effect algebra is orthoatomistic and present an example of an orthoatomistic orthomodular poset that is not weakly orthocomplete.
In this lecture note, we discuss a fundamental concept, referred to as the {\it characteristic rank}, which suggests a general framework for characterizing the basic properties of various low-dimensional models used in signal processing.…
It is well known that if a matrix $A\in\mathbb C^{n\times n}$ solves the matrix equation $f(A,A^H)=0$, where $f(x, y)$ is a linear bivariate polynomial, then $A$ is normal; $A$ and $A^H$ can be simultaneously reduced in a finite number of…
In this paper the sum of an orthogonal matrix and an outer product is studied, and a relation between the norms of the vectors forming the outer product and the singular values of the resulting matrix is presented. The main result may be…
We explicitly find a complete set of ${1\over4}(n+2)^2$ (resp. ${1\over4}(n+1)(n+3)$) primitive orthogonal idempotents in ${\rm Sym}^n\mathbb{H}\otimes_\mathbb{R}\mathbb{C}$ if $n$ is even (resp. odd), where ${\rm Sym}^n\mathbb{H}$ is the…
We study the triangle inequalities for angles (with different definitions) and present inequalities concerning the entries of correlation matrices through the positivity of $3\times 3$ matrices. We extend our discussions to the inequalities…
The purpose of this article is to study determinants of matrices which are known as generalized Pascal triangles (see [1]). We present a factorization by expressing such a matrix as a product of a unipotent lower triangular matrix, a…
In a recent article, we gave a full characterization of matrices that can be decomposed as a linear combination of two idempotents with prescribed coefficients. In this one, we use those results to improve on a recent theorem of V.…
The task of analytically diagonalizing a tridiagonal matrix can be considerably simplified when a part of the matrix is uniform. Such quasi-uniform matrices occur in several physical contexts, both classical and quantum, where…
We propose a specific class of matrices which participate in factorization problems that turn to be equivalent to constant and entwining (non-constant) pentagon, reverse-pentagon or Yang-Baxter maps, expressed in non-commutative variables.…
In this work we show how to get advantage from the Riemann--Hilbert analysis in order to obtain information about the matrix orthogonal polynomials and functions of second kind associated with a weight matrix. We deduce properties for the…
