An nxn matrix A over an arbitrary unitary ring R satisfies invariant left and right Cayley-Hamilton identities with matrix coefficients C(i), D(i) having commutator sum entries. If R has a grading similar to the case of Grassmann algebras,…
Aiming to provide weak as possible axiomatic assumptions in which one can develop basic linear algebra, we give a uniform and integral version of the short propositional proofs for the determinant identities demonstrated over $GF(2)$ in…
We present two hypermatrix formulations of the Cayley Hamilton theorem. One of the proposed formulation naturally extends to hypermatrices the combinatorial interpretations of the classical Cayley Hamilton theorem. We conclude by discussing…
In this expository paper, various properties of matrix traces, determinants and adjugate matrices are proved, including the *trace Cayley-Hamilton theorem*, which says that \[ kc_k + \sum_{i=1}^k \operatorname{Tr} (A^i) c_{k-i} = 0 \qquad…
We present algorithms and heuristics to compute the characteristic polynomial of a matrix given its minimal polynomial. The matrix is represented as a black-box, i.e., by a function to compute its matrix-vector product. The methods apply to…
We survey three methods for proving that the characteristic polynomial of a finite lattice factors over the nonnegative integers and indicate how they have evolved recently. The first technique uses geometric ideas and is based on…
A finite expansion of the exponential map for a $N\times N$ matrix is presented. The method uses the Cayley-Hamilton theorem for writing the higher matrix powers in terms of the first N-1 ones. The resulting sums over the corresponding…
In this note we discuss the problem of finding the nth power of a matrix which is strongly connected to the study of Markov chains and others mathematical topics. We observe the known fact (but maybe not well known) that the Cayley-Hamilton…
Newton's inequalities $c_n^2 \ge c_{n-1}c_{n+1}$ are shown to hold for the normalized coefficients $c_n$ of the characteristic polynomial of any $M$- or inverse $M$-matrix. They are derived by establishing first an auxiliary set of…
Form an $n \times n$ matrix by drawing entries independently from $\{\pm1\}$ (or another fixed nontrivial finitely supported distribution in $\mathbf{Z}$) and let $\phi$ be the characteristic polynomial. Conditionally on the extended…
In our previous paper math.QA/0412192 the Cayley-Hamilton identity for the GL(m|n) type quantum matrix algebra was obtained. Here we continue investigation of that identity. We derive it in three alternative forms and, most importantly, we…
We compute hyperdeterminants of hypermatrices whose indices belongs in a meet-semilattice and whose entries depend only of the greatest lower bound of the indices. One shows that an elementary expansion of such a polynomial allows to…
The characteristic polynomial of the effective Hamiltonian for a general model has been discussed. It is found that, compared with the associated energy eigenvalues, this characteristic polynomial generally has better analytical properties…
Hamiltonian matrices appear in a variety or problems in physics and engineering, mostly related to the time evolution of linear dynamical systems as for instance in ion beam optics. The time evolution is given by symplectic transfer…
In this note, we use the concept of a polynomial ring to give an elementary proof to Cayley-Hamilton Theorem. We also give an elementary proof to Birkhoff theorem on Bi-stochastic matrices.
It is a well-known fact that the first and last non-trivial coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of a linear operator are respectively its trace and its determinant. This work shows how to compute recursively all the coefficients…
The hyperdeterminant of a polynomial (interpreted as a symmetric tensor) factors into several irreducible factors with multiplicities. Using geometric techniques these factors are identified along with their degrees and their…
The notions of weak and strong minimizability of a matrix intertwining operator are introduced. Criterion of strong minimizability of a matrix intertwining operator is revealed. Criterion and sufficient condition of existence of a constant…
We give a natural definition for the transitivity of a matrix. Using an endomorphism d of a base ring R and a transitive nxn matrix over the center Z(R), we construct the subalgebra M_{n}(R,d,T) of the full nxn matrix algebra M_{n}(R)…
We introduce a new method for showing that the roots of the characteristic polynomial of certain finite lattices are all nonnegative integers. This method is based on the notion of a quotient of a poset which will be developed to explain…
