The nonlinear inverse problem of exponential data fitting is separable since the fitting function is a linear combination of parameterized exponential functions, thus allowing to solve for the linear coefficients separately from the…

A. Ya. Zaslavskii's results on the existence of a linear (affine) selection for a linear (affine) or superlinear (convex) map $\Phi : K \to 2^Y$ defined on a convex cone (convex set) $K$ having the interpolation property are extended. We…

A defining set of a Latin square is a partially filled-in Latin square which completes to no other Latin square of the same order. We introduce the concept of a $k$-strong defining set, in which if less than $k$ entries are deleted, the…

A matrix convex set is a set of the form $\mathcal{S} = \cup_{n\geq 1}\mathcal{S}_n$ (where each $\mathcal{S}_n$ is a set of $d$-tuples of $n \times n$ matrices) that is invariant under UCP maps from $M_n$ to $M_k$ and under formation of…

Given n subspaces of a finite-dimensional vector space over a fixed finite field $\mathbb F$, we wish to find a linear layout $V_1,V_2,\ldots,V_n$ of the subspaces such that $\dim((V_1+V_2+\cdots+V_i) \cap (V_{i+1}+\cdots+V_n))\le k$ for…

Let $M=(E,{\cal I})$ be a matroid. A {\em $k$-truncation} of $M$ is a matroid {$M'=(E,{\cal I}')$} such that for any $A\subseteq E$, $A\in {\cal I}'$ if and only if $|A|\leq k$ and $A\in {\cal I}$. Given a linear representation of $M$ we…

In this paper we prove existence of matings between a large class of renormalizable cubic polynomials with one fixed critical point and another cubic polynomial having two fixed critical points. The resulting mating is a Newton map. Our…

We prove a constant term conjecture of Robbins and Zeilberger (J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 66 (1994), 17-27), by translating the problem into a determinant evaluation problem and evaluating the determinant. This determinant generalizes the…

We unify Linear Algebra by proposing a definition of determinants via one equation that implies all known properties of them:\\ 1. Cramer's Rule,\\ 2. Cofactor expansion,\\ 3. Antisymmetry of determinants,\\ 4. Linearity of determinants,\\…

Let K be an arbitrary (commutative) field, and V be a linear subspace of M_n(K) such that codim V<n-1. Using a recent generalization of a theorem of Atkinson and Lloyd, we show that every linear embedding of V into M_n(K) which strongly…

Let Det_n denote the closure of the GL_{n^2}(C)-orbit of the determinant polynomial det_n with respect to linear substitution. The highest weights (partitions) of irreducible GL_{n^2}(C)-representations occurring in the coordinate ring of…

We prove that the only entrywise transforms of rectangular matrices which preserve total positivity or total non-negativity are either constant or linear. This follows from an extended classification of preservers of these two properties…

This paper presents a theorem which solves the problem of reduction of the determinant order by means of a transformation of it, into other determinant whose each element are a determinant of second order. This implies that, if the process…

A fundamental problem in computational algebraic geometry is the computation of the resultant. A central question is when and how to compute it as the determinant of a matrix. whose elements are the coefficients of the input polynomials…

Two (real or complex) $m\times n$ matrices $A$ and $B$ are said to be parallel (resp. triangle equality attaining, or TEA in short) with respect to the spectral norm $\|\cdot\|$ if $\|A+ \mu B\| = \|A\| + \|B\|$ for some scalar $\mu$ with…

We determine the structure of linear maps on the tensor product of matrices which preserve the numerical range or numerical radius.

While dealing with the nontrivial task of classifying Mueller matrices, of special interest is the study of the degenerate Mueller matrices (matrices with vanishing determinant, for which the law of multiplication holds, but there exists no…

We describe immanants as trivial modules of the symmetric group and show that any homogeneous polynomial of degree n on the space of n by n matrices preserved up to scalar by left and right action by diagonal matrices and conjugation by…

One considers certain degenerations of the generic symmetric matrix over a field $k$ of characteristic zero and the main structures related to the determinant $f$ of the matrix, such as the ideal generated by its partial derivatives, the…

We consider the problem of computing the data-cube marginals of a fixed order $k$ (i.e., all marginals that aggregate over $k$ dimensions), using a single round of MapReduce. The focus is on the relationship between the reducer size (number…
