Let $X^{(2)}$ denote the second symmetric product space of a partially ordered vector space $X$, endowed with the projective cone. A characterization of linear maps $T\colon X^{(2)}\to X^{(2)}$ which preserve the set of all positive…

We investigate the generalized moment membership problem for matrices, a formulation equivalent to Skolem's problem for linear recurrence sequences. We show decidability for orthogonal, unitary, and real eigenvalue matrices, and…

We show that any nonsingular (real or complex) square matrix can be factorized into a product of at most three normal matrices, one of which is unitary, another selfadjoint with eigenvalues in the open right half-plane, and the third one is…

We answer the question if the continuous product of square matrices $M(t)$ over $t\in [0,1]$ can be correctly defined. The case where all $M(t)$ are taken from a finite set $\Sigma$ is studied. We find necessary and sufficient conditions on…

We construct a class of positive linear maps on matrix algebras. We find conditions when these maps are atomic, decomposable and completely positive. We obtain a large class of atomic positive linear maps. As applications in quantum…

The long run behaviour of linear dynamical systems is often studied by looking at eventual properties of matrices and recurrences that underlie the system. A basic problem that lies at the core of many questions in this setting is the…

Large H-selfadjoint random matrices are considered. The matrix $H$ is assumed to have one negative eigenvalue, hence the matrix in question has precisely one eigenvalue of nonpositive type. It is showed that this eigenvalue converges in…

We prove inequalities on non-integer powers of products of generalized matrices functions on the sum of positive semi-definite matrices. For example, for any real number $r \in \{1\} \cup [2, \infty)$, positive semi-definite matrices $A_i,\…

Let $n$ be a positive integer, and let $k$ be a field (of arbitrary characteristic) accessible to symbolic computation. We describe an algorithmic test for determining whether or not a finitely presented $k$-algebra $R$ has infinitely many…

Suppose $Q(x)$ is a real $n\times n$ regular symmetric positive semidefinite matrix polynomial. Then it can be factored as $$Q(x) = G(x)^TG(x),$$ where $G(x)$ is a real $n\times n$ matrix polynomial with degree half that of $Q(x)$ if and…

We characterize all $f$-algebra products on AM-spaces by constructing a canonical AM-space $W_X$ associated to each AM-space $X$, such that the $f$-algebra products on $X$ correspond bijectively to the positive cone $(W_X)_+$. This…

The $\star_M$-family of tensor-tensor products is a framework which generalizes many properties from linear algebra to third order tensors. Here, we investigate positive semidefiniteness and semidefinite programming under the…

We present a conjecture on the irreducibility of the tensor products of fundamental representations of quantized affine algebras. This conjecture implies in particular that the irreducibility of the tensor products of fundamental…

Symplectic geometry plays an increasingly important role in mathematics, physics and applications, and naturally gives rise to interesting matrix families and properties. One of these is the notion of symplectic eigenvalues, whose existence…

The objective of this paper is to develop a general algebraic theory of supertropical matrix algebra, extending [11]. Our main results are as follows: * The tropical determinant (i.e., permanent) is multiplicative when all the determinants…

A description of the endomorphisms of semidirect products of two groups as a group of $2\times 2$ matrices of maps is already known. Using this description, we have studied the concept of determinant for the endomorphisms of semidirect…

For any primitive matrix $M\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ with positive diagonal entries, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a positive vector $\mathbf{x}=(x_1,\dots,x_n)^t$ such that $M\mathbf{x}=(\frac{1}{x_1},\dots,\frac{1}{x_n})^t$.…

For given k distinct complex conjugate pairs, l distinct real numbers, and a given graph G on 2k+l vertices with a matching of size at least k, we will show that there is a real matrix whose eigenvalues are the given numbers and its graph…

We consider real non-symmetric matrices and their factorisation as a product of real symmetric matrices. The number of complex eigenvalues of the original matrix reveals restrictions on such factorisations as we shall prove.

We study the almost sure convergence of the normalized columns in an infinite product of nonnegative matrices, and the almost sure rank one property of its limit points. Given a probability on the set of $2\times2$ nonnegative matrices,…
