We establish normal form theorems for a large class of singular flat connections on complex manifolds, including connections with logarithmic poles along weighted homogeneous Saito free divisors. As a result, we show that the moduli spaces…

In 1999 Merino and Welsh conjectured that evaluations of the Tutte polynomial of a graph satisfy an inequality. In this short article we show that the conjecture generalized to matroids holds for the large class of all split matroids by…

We determine invariants like the Smith normal form and the determinant for certain integral matrices which arise from the character tables of the symmetric groups S_n and their double covers. In particular, we give a simple computation,…

This paper serves as an introduction to banded totally positive matrices, exploring various characterizations and associated properties. A significant result within is the demonstration that the collection of such matrices forms a…

The problem of approximating a matrix by a low-rank one has been extensively studied. This problem assumes, however, that the whole matrix has a low-rank structure. This assumption is often false for real-world matrices. We consider the…

An MDS matrix is a matrix whose minors all have full rank. A question arising in coding theory is what zero patterns can MDS matrices have. There is a natural combinatorial characterization (called the MDS condition) which is necessary over…

In this paper, we investigate $q$-Varchenko matrices for some hyperplane arrangements with symmetry in two and three dimensions, and prove that they have a Smith normal form over $\mathbb Z[q]$. In particular, we examine the hyperplane…

A recently-established necessary condition for polynomials that preserve the class of entrywise nonnegative matrices of a fixed order is shown to be necessary and sufficient for the class of nonnegative monomial matrices. Along the way, we…

It is a survey of the results on the classification of stable homotopy types of polyhedra of small dimensions, mainly obtained by H.-J. Baues and the author. The proofs are based on the technique of matrix problems (bimodule categories).

Let $\|\!\cdot\!\|_p$ denote the Schatten $p$-norm of matrices and $\|\!\cdot\!\|_F$ the Frobenius norm. For a square matrix $X$, let $|X|$ denote its absolute value. In 2010, Eun-Young Lee posed the problem of determining the smallest…

Nourdin et al. [9] established the following universality result: if a sequence of off-diagonal homogeneous polynomial forms in i.i.d. standard normal random variables converges in distribution to a normal, then the convergence also holds…

The aim of this article is to introduce standard bases of ideals in polynomial rings with respect to a class of orderings which are not necessarily semigroup orderings. Our approach generalises the concept of standard bases with respect to…

The problem of finding the distance from a given $n \times n$ matrix polynomial of degree $k$ to the set of matrix polynomials having the elementary divisor $(\lambda-\lambda_0)^j, \, j \geqslant r,$ for a fixed scalar $\lambda_0$ and $2…

We give a variant of Weyl's inequality for systems of forms together with applications. First we use this to give a different formulation of a theorem of B. J. Birch on forms in many variables. More precisely, we show that the dimension of…

In this paper, the $mn$-dimensional space of tensor-product polynomials of two variables, of degree at most $(m-1)+(n-1)$, is considered. A theory of two-variate polynomials is developed by establishing the algebra and basic algebraic…

We develop several efficient algorithms for the classical \emph{Matrix Scaling} problem, which is used in many diverse areas, from preconditioning linear systems to approximation of the permanent. On an input $n\times n$ matrix $A$, this…

Proof equivalence in a logic is the problem of deciding whether two proofs are equivalent modulo a set of permutation of rules that reflects the commutative conversions of its cut-elimination procedure. As such, it is related to the…

Let Y be a hypersurface in projective space having only ordinary double points as singularities. We prove a variant of a conjecture of L. Wotzlaw on an algebraic description of the graded quotients of the Hodge filtration on the top…

We present an algorithm to solve the Simultaneous Unitary Similarity(S.U.S) problem which is to check if there exists a Similarity transformation determined by a Unitary $U$ s.t $UA_lU^*=B_l$, $l \in \{1,...,p\}$, where $A_l$ and $B_l$ are…

We consider the homogeneous components U_r of the map on R = k[x,y,z]/(x^A, y^B, z^C) that multiplies by x + y + z. We prove a relationship between the Smith normal forms of submatrices of an arbitrary Toeplitz matrix using Schur…
