We use a classical result of Gollinski and Ibragimov to prove an analog of the strong Szego theorem for Jacobi matrices on $l^2(\N)$. In particular, we consider the class of Jacobi matrices with conditionally summable parameter sequences…

Let $A$ and $B$ be finite sets and consider a partition of the \emph{discrete box} $A \times B$ into \emph{sub-boxes} of the form $A' \times B'$ where $A' \subset A$ and $B' \subset B$. We say that such a partition has the…

In this article, we show that a linear combination $X$ of $n$ independent, unbiased Bernoulli random variables $\{X_k\}$ can match the first $2n$ moments of a random variable $Y$ which is uniform on an interval. More generally, for each $p…

Inspired by the recent work by Nadji, Ahmia and Ram\'irez, we examined the arithmetic properties of $\bar{B}_{l_1,l_2} (n)$, the number of overpartitions of n whose parts are neither divisible by $l_1$ nor divisible by $l_2$. In particular,…

Let $S=XX^T$ be the (unscaled) sample covariance matrix where $X$ is a real $p \times n$ matrix with independent entries. It is well known that if the entries of $X$ are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) with enough moments…

We show that the positive and negative parts $ u_{k}^{\pm }$ of any frame in a real $ L^{2}$ space with respect to a continuous measure have both "infinite $ l^{2}$ masses": 1) always, $ \sum _{k}u_{k}^{\pm }(x)^{2}=\infty $ almost…

For a fixed $n\ge2$, consider an $n\times n$ matrix $M$ whose entries are random integers bounded by $k$ in absolute value. In this paper, we examine the probability that $M$ is singular (hence has eigenvalue 0), and the probability that…

This is a continuation of the paper [FJS] with a similar title. Several results from there are strengthened, in particular: 1. If T is a "natural" embedding of l_2^n into L_1 then, for any well-bounded factorization of T through an L_1…

We count with a smooth weight the number of $2 \times 2$ integer matrices with a fixed characteristic polynomial with a main term and an error term using bounds for sums of Weyl sums for quadratic roots.

Classifying orthogonal arrays is a well known important class of problems that asks for finding all non-isomorphic, non-negative integer solutions to a class of systems of constraints. Solved instances are scarce. We develop two new methods…

An $n\times n$ symmetric matrix $A$ is copositive if the quadratic form $x^TAx$ is nonnegative on the nonnegative orthant. The cone of copositive matrices strictly contains the cone of completely positive matrices, i.e., all matrices of the…

Consider $n$ $d$-dimensional vectors with iid entries from a lattice distribution $X$. We show that the probability that all distances between them are equal is asymptotically \[ C_n\cdot\frac{1}{d^{(m-1)/2}} \quad \text{for} \quad d \to…

Using the replica method, we develop an analytical approach to compute the characteristic function for the probability $\mathcal{P}_N(K,\lambda)$ that a large $N \times N$ adjacency matrix of sparse random graphs has $K$ eigenvalues below a…

A $k$-modal sequence is a sequence of real numbers that can be partitioned into $k+1$ (possibly empty) monotone sections such that adjacent sections have opposite monotonicities. For every positive integer $k$, we prove that any sequence of…

Consider an $n\times n$ matrix $P$ with the following properties. All entries in $P$ are positive or $0$, the sum of each row is 1 and for all $i$ and $j$ in $\{1,\dots,n\}$ there exists a natural number $k$ such that the $(i,j)$ entry of…

In many problems in Computational Physics and Chemistry, one finds a special kind of sparse matrices, termed "banded matrices". These matrices, which are defined as having non-zero entries only within a given distance from the main…

We show that a perturbation of any fixed square matrix D by a random unitary matrix is well invertible with high probability. A similar result holds for perturbations by random orthogonal matrices; the only notable exception is when D is…

Given a set $P$ of $n$ points in $\mathbf{R}^d$, and a positive integer $k \leq n$, the $k$-dispersion problem is that of selecting $k$ of the given points so that the minimum inter-point distance among them is maximized (under Euclidean…

In this paper we consider the decomposition of positive semidefinite matrices as a sum of rank one matrices. We introduce and investigate the properties of various measures of optimality of such decompositions. For some classes of positive…
