We obtain sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of solutions with non-negative components to general quasilinear parabolic problems \begin{equation*} \partial_t u^k = \sum_{i,j=1}^n a_{ij} (t,x,u)\partial^2_{x_i x_j}\!u^k +…
We consider certain functional identities on the matrix algebra $M_n$ that are defined similarly as the trace identities, except that the "coefficients" are arbitrary polynomials, not necessarily those expressible by the traces. The main…
Bidiagonal matrices are widespread in numerical linear algebra, not least because of their use in the standard algorithm for computing the singular value decomposition and their appearance as LU factors of tridiagonal matrices. We show that…
