Let $P(n)$ be the number of polyominoes of $n$ cells and $\lambda$ be Klarner's constant, that is, $\lambda=\lim_{n\to\infty} \sqrt[n]{P(n)}$. We show that there exist some positive numbers $A,T$, so that for every $n$ \[ P(n) \ge…

The spectral properties of two special classes of Jacobi operators are studied. For the first class represented by the $2M$-dimensional real Jacobi matrices whose entries are symmetric with respect to the secondary diagonal, a new…

We formulate the problem of finding the probability that the determinant of a matrix undergoes the least change upon perturbation of one of its elements, provided that most or all of the elements of the matrix are chosen at random and that…

We prove a variant of a Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma for matrices with circulant structure. This approach allows to minimise the randomness used, is easy to implement and provides good running times. The price to be paid is the higher…

Williamson's theorem states that for any $2n \times 2n$ real positive definite matrix $A$, there exists a $2n \times 2n$ real symplectic matrix $S$ such that $S^TAS=D \oplus D$, where $D$ is an $n\times n$ diagonal matrix with positive…

It is shown that every commutative arithmetic ring $R$ has $lambda$-dimension $ leq 3$. An example of a commutative Kaplansky ring with $ lambda$-dimension 3 is given. If $R$ satisfies an additional condition then $ lambda$-dim($R$)

The problem of expressing a specific polynomial as the determinant of a square matrix of affine-linear forms arises from algebraic geometry, optimisation, complexity theory, and scientific computing. Motivated by recent developments in this…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a finite commutative ring, and let $\mathbb{L}$ be a commutative $\mathbb{K}$-algebra. Let $A$ and $B$ be two $n \times n$-matrices over $\mathbb{L}$ that have the same characteristic polynomial. The main result of this…

In the present paper we shall investigate the Waring's problem for upper triangular matrix algebras. The main result is the following: Let $n\geq 2$ and $m\geq 1$ be integers. Let $p(x_1,\ldots,x_m)$ be a noncommutative polynomial with zero…

This paper considers an idempotent and symmetrical algebraic structure as well as some closely related concept. A special notion of determinant is introduced and a Cramer formula is derived for a class of limit systems derived from the…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a unital algebra, $\delta$ be a linear mapping from $\mathcal{A}$ into itself and $m$, $n$ be fixed integers. We call $\delta$ an (\textit{m, n})-derivable mapping at $Z$, if…

We introduced previously the generalized characteristic polynomial defined by $P_C(\lambda)={\rm det}\,C(\lambda),$ where $C(\lambda)=C+{\rm diag}\big(\lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_n\big)$ for $C\in {\rm Mat}(n,\mathbb C)$ and…

We first prove that the set of domino tilings of a fixed finite figure is a distributive lattice, even in the case when the figure has holes. We then give a geometrical interpretation of the order given by this lattice, using (not…

We give an upper bound in O(d ^((n+1)/2)) for the number of critical points of a normal random polynomial with degree d and at most n variables. Using the large deviation principle for the spectral value of large random matrices we obtain…

Given two elements $a$ and $b$ of a noncommutative ring, we express $\left( ba\right)^n$ as a "row vector times matrix times column vector" product, where the matrix is the $n$-th power of a matrix with entries…

We consider three types of rings of supersymmetric polynomials: polynomial ones $\Lambda_{m,n}$, partially polynomial $\Lambda_{m,n}^{+y}$ and Laurent supersymmetric rings $\Lambda_{m,n}^{\pm}$. For each type of rings we give their…

In this paper, we present a new formula of the determinant tensor $det_n$ for $n \times n$ matrices. In \cite{kim2023newdet4}, Kim, Ju, and Kim found a new formula of $4 \times 4$ determinant tensor $det_4$ which is available when the base…

The two-matrix model is defined on pairs of Hermitian matrices $(M_1,M_2)$ of size $n\times n$ by the probability measure $$\frac{1}{Z_n} \exp\left(\textrm{Tr} (-V(M_1)-W(M_2)+\tau M_1M_2)\right)\ dM_1\ dM_2, $$ where $V$ and $W$ are given…
