We unify Linear Algebra by proposing a definition of determinants via one equation that implies all known properties of them:\\ 1. Cramer's Rule,\\ 2. Cofactor expansion,\\ 3. Antisymmetry of determinants,\\ 4. Linearity of determinants,\\…
We introduce the concept of disjunctive sum of squares for certifying nonnegativity of polynomials. Unlike the popular sum of squares approach where nonnegativity is certified by a single algebraic identity, the disjunctive sum of squares…
Let $X$ be a symmetric random matrix with independent but non-identically distributed centered Gaussian entries. We show that $$ \mathbf{E}\|X\|_{S_p} \asymp \mathbf{E}\Bigg[ \Bigg(\sum_i\Bigg(\sum_j X_{ij}^2\Bigg)^{p/2}\Bigg)^{1/p} \Bigg]…
We give a formula for the determinant of an $n\times n$ matrix with entries from a commutative ring with unit. The formula can be evaluated by a "straight-line program" performing only additions, subtractions and multiplications of ring…
We prove that the logarithm of the permanent of an nxn real matrix A and the logarithm of the hafnian of a 2nx2n real symmetric matrix A can be approximated within an additive error 1 > epsilon > 0 by a polynomial p in the entries of A of…
Motivated by a flurry of recent work on efficient tensor decomposition algorithms, we show that the celebrated moment matrix extension algorithm of Brachat, Comon, Mourrain, and Tsigaridas for symmetric tensor canonical polyadic (CP)…
Efficient matrix determinant calculations have been studied since the 19th century. Computers expand the range of determinants that are practically calculable to include matrices with symbolic entries. However, the fastest determinant…
The coefficient function of the leading differential operator is estimated from observations of a linear stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE). The estimation is based on continuous time observations which are localised in space.…
In this paper, we address the noncommutative rank (nc-rank) computation of a linear symbolic matrix \[ A = A_1 x_1 + A_2 x_2 + \cdots + A_m x_m, \] where each $A_i$ is an $n \times n$ matrix over a field $\mathbb{K}$, and $x_i$…
The determinant of an anti-symmetric matrix $g$ is the square of its Pfaffian, which like the determinant is a polynomial in the entries of $g$. Studies of certain super conformal field theories (of class S) suggested a conjectural…
A homogeneous polynomial S(x_1, ..., x_n) of degree r in n variables posesses a discriminant D_{n|r}(S), which vanishes if and only if the system of equations dS/dx_i = 0 has non-trivial solutions. We give an explicit formula for…
Regularization in fitting regression models has been a highly active topic of research in the past few decades, but most of the existing methods are designed for particular situations, e.g. for the case of a sparse coefficient vector. We…
In this paper, we present a new formula for the determinant of a $4 \times 4$ matrix. We approach via the sparse optimization problem and derive the formula through the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO). Our formula…
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 construct type A partially-symmetric Macdonald polynomials $P_{(\lambda \mid \gamma)}$, where $\lambda \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}^{n-k}$ is a partition and $\gamma \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}^k$ is a composition. These are polynomials which are…
Anderson acceleration (AA) has a long history of use and a strong recent interest due to its potential ability to dramatically improve the linear convergence of the fixed-point iteration. Most authors are simply using and analyzing the…
The theory of symmetric functions has been extended to the case where each variable is paired with an anticommuting one. The resulting expressions, dubbed superpolynomials, provide the natural N=1 supersymmetric version of the classical…
Let $S$ be a $3$-dimensional quantum polynomial algebra, and $f \in S_2$ a central regular element. The quotient algebra $A = S/(f)$ is called a noncommutative conic. For a noncommutative conic $A$, there is a finite dimensional algebra…
We propose and discuss how basic notions (quadratic modules, positive elements, semialgebraic sets, Archimedean orderings) and results (Positivstellensaetze) from real algebraic geometry can be generalized to noncommutative $*$-algebras. A…
We investigate the problem of computing tensor product multiplicities for complex semisimple Lie algebras. Even though computing these numbers is #P-hard in general, we show that if the rank of the Lie algebra is assumed fixed, then there…
