Polytope numbers for a polytope are a sequence of nonnegative integers that are defined by the facial information of a polytope. Every polygon is triangulable and a higher dimensional analogue of this fact states that every polytope is…
A few years ago, Peter Larcombe discovered an amazing property regarding two by two matrices. For any such 2 by 2 matrix A, the ratios of the two anti-diagonal entries is the same for all powers of A. We discuss extensions to higher…
For a permutation $\pi$, and the corresponding permutation matrix, we introduce the notion of {\em discrete derivative}, obtained by taking differences of successive entries in $\pi$. We characterize the possible derivatives of…
In this paper we bring to light an unprecedented property of the eigenvalues of a matrix A with the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a submatrix of A. This property can be used, through the technique developed here, to determine some of…
In this paper we express the eigenvalues of a sort of real heptadiagonal symmetric matrices as the zeros of explicit rational functions establishing upper and lower bounds for each of them. From these prescribed eigenvalues we compute also…
The right triangles represented in the Plimpton 322 data have integer sides $(a, b, d)$ with $a < b < d$, by inspecting the data we propose $b=M\,Q_{M}$ with $M,Q_{M}$ positive integers. In this way we present a new data-driven family of…
We provide a systematic formula, in terms of integer partitions, that generates perturbation theory explicitly at an arbitrary order. Our approach naturally includes an infinite number of perturbations and uses a single matrix equation that…
Orthogonal matrices which are linear combinations of permutation matrices have attracted enormous attention in quantum information and computation. In this paper, we provide a complete parametric characterization of all complex, real and…
We propose an efficient algorithm for computing a common eigenvector of a finite set of square matrices. As an immediate consequence we obtain an algorithm for determining whether the matrices admit a simultaneous triangulation, and, if so,…
We derive self-reciprocity properties for a number of polyomino generating functions, including several families of column-convex polygons, three-choice polygons and staircase polygons with a staircase hole. In so doing, we establish a…
In this dissertation, we explore the structure of inversion graphs of permutations--a class of graphs that naturally arises by representing each permutation as a graph, where vertices correspond to entries and edges encode inversions.…
We consider the (symmetric) Pascal matrix, in its finite and infinite versions, and prove the existence of symmetric tridiagonal matrices commuting with it by giving explicit expressions for these commuting matrices. This is achieved by…
In this study, we apply "r" times the binomial transform to the Padovan and Perrin matrix sequences. Also, the Binet formulas, summations, generating functions of these transforms are found using recurrence relations. Finally, we give the…
We prove a general divisibility theorem that implies, e.g., that, in any group, the number of generating pairs (as well as triples, etc.) is a multiple of the order of the commutator subgroup. Another corollary says that, in any associative…
A recursive method is given for finding generating functions which enumerate rooted hypermaps by number of vertices, edges and faces for any given number of darts. It makes use of matrix-integral expressions arising from the study of…
In this article we study in detail a family of random matrix ensembles which are obtained from random permutations matrices (chosen at random according to the Ewens measure of parameter $\theta>0$) by replacing the entries equal to one by…
We study existence and computability of finite bases for ideals of polynomials over infinitely many variables. In our setting, variables come from a countable logical structure A, and embeddings from A to A act on polynomials by renaming…
In the paper we prove for every finite algebra A that either it has the polynomially generated powers (PGP) property, or it has the exponentially generated powers (EGP) property. For idempotent algebras we give a simple criteria for the…
The computation of matrix functions is a well-studied problem. Of special importance are the exponential and the logarithm of a matrix, where the latter also raises existence and uniqueness questions. This is particularly relevant in the…
We present an iteration for the computation of simple eigenvalues using a pseudospectrum approach. The most appealing characteristic of the proposed iteration is that it reduces the computation of a single eigenvalue to a small number of…
