A polynomial matrix inequality is a formula asserting that a polynomial matrix is positive semidefinite. Polynomial matrix optimization concerns minimizing the smallest eigenvalue of a symmetric polynomial matrix subject to a tuple of…
Let $N$ be a nilpotent matrix and consider vector fields $\dot\bx=N\bx+\bv(\bx)$ in normal form. Then $\bv$ is equivariant under the flow $e^{N^*t}$ for the inner product normal form or $e^{Mt}$ for the $\ssl_2$ normal form. These vector…
A $n\times n$ matrix $A$ has normal defect one if it is not normal, however can be embedded as a north-western block into a normal matrix of size $(n+1)\times (n+1)$. The latter is called a minimal normal completion of $A$. A construction…
It is shown that a $N\times N$ real symmetric [complex hermitian] positive definite matrix $V$ is congruent to a diagonal matrix modulo a pseudo-orthogonal [pseudo-unitary] matrix in $SO(m,n)$ [ $SU(m,n)$], for any choice of partition…
Wang and Zhao (Adv. Appl. Math. 173 (2026) 102994) generalized the classic Johnson-Newman theorem on simultaneous similarity of symmetric matrices from a single rank-one perturbation to multiple rank-one perturbations. However, their result…
We give an effective uniform bound on the multigraded regularity of a subscheme of a smooth projective toric variety X with a given multigraded Hilbert polynomial. To establish this bound, we introduce a new combinatorial tool, called a…
Given a pair of regular quadratic forms over $\mathbb{Q}$ which are in the same genus and a finite set of primes $P$, we show that there is an effective way to determine a rational equivalence between these two quadratic forms which are…
We introduce a multivariate Markov transform which generalizes the well-known one-dimensional Stieltjes transform from the Moment problem and Spectral theory. Our main result states that two measures {\mu} and {\nu} with bounded support…
A classical result of MacMahon states that inversion number and major index have the same distribution over permutations of a given multiset. In this work we prove a strengthening of this theorem originally conjectured by Haglund. Our…
Generalizing polynomials previously studied in the context of linear codes, we define weight polynomials and an enumerator for a matroid $M$. Our main result is that these polynomials are determined by Betti numbers associated with graded…
We study multivariate trigonometric polynomials, satisfying a set of constraints close to the known Strung-Fix conditions. Based on the polyphase representation of these polynomials relative to a general dilation matrix, we develop a simple…
The inverse of a large matrix can often be accurately approximated by a polynomial of degree significantly lower than the order of the matrix. The iteration polynomial generated by a run of the GMRES algorithm is a good candidate, and its…
This paper is concentrated on the classification of permutation matrix with the permutation similarity relation, mainly about the canonical form of a permutational similar equivalence class, the cycle matrix decomposition of a permutation…
In this paper we develop a novel bootstrap test for the comparison of two multinomial distributions. The two distributions are called {\it equivalent} or {\it similar} if a norm of the difference between the class probabilities is smaller…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $g(t) \in R[t]$ a monic polynomial. The commutative ring of polynomials $f(C_g)$ in the companion matrix $C_g$ of $g(t)$, where $f(t)\in R[t]$, is called the Companion Ring of $g(t)$. Special instances…
There has recently been renewed recognition of the need to understand the consistency properties that must be preserved when a generalized matrix inverse is required. The most widely known generalized inverse, the Moore-Penrose…
A matrix is apportionable if it is similar to a matrix whose entries have equal moduli. This paper shows that all nilpotent matrices and all matrices with rank at most half their order are apportionable. General results are established and…
Let M be an archimedean quadratic module of real t-by-t matrix polynomials in n variables, and let S be the set of all real n-tuples where each element of M is positive semidefinite. Our key finding is a natural bijection between the set of…
In our earlier posting "Matrix Pencils and Entanglement Classification", arXiv:0911.1803, we gave a polynomial-time algorithm for deciding if two states in a space of dimension $2\otimes m\otimes n$ are SLOCC equivalent. In this note, we…
We survey developments, over the last thirty years, in the theory of Shape Preserving Approximation (SPA) by algebraic polynomials on a finite interval. In this article, "shape" refers to (finitely many changes of) monotonicity, convexity,…
