We introduce and discuss an Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado basis for the underlying vector space of a Leonard system $\Phi = (A; A^*; \{E_i\}_{i=0}^d ; \{E_i^* \}_{i=0}^d)$ that satisfies a mild condition on the eigenvalues of $A$ and $A^*$. We describe…

Given an arbitrary (commutative) field K, let V be a linear subspace of M_n(K) consisting of matrices of rank lesser than or equal to some r<n. A theorem of Atkinson and Lloyd states that, if dim V>nr-r+1 and #K>r, then either all the…

Linear systems often involve, as a basic building block, solutions of equations of the form \begin{align*} A_Sx_S&+A_Px_P =0\\ A'_Sx_S & =0, \end{align*} where our primary interest might be in the vector variable $x_P.$ Usually, neither…

In this paper we study sequences of vector orthogonal polynomials. The vector orthogonality presented here provides a reinterpretation of what is known in the literature as matrix orthogonality. These systems of orthogonal polynomials…

A vector space S of linear operators between finite-dimensional vector spaces U and V is called locally linearly dependent (in abbreviate form: LLD) when every vector x in U is annihilated by a non-zero operator in S. By a duality argument,…

A banded matrix is a real square matrix where nonzero entries appear around the main diagonal. In this article, we consider linear complementarity properties of (variants) of banded matrices. Focusing on triangular matrices and the newly…

Let Gamma be a Q-polynomial distance-regular graph with vertex set X, diameter D geq 3 and adjacency matrix A. Fix x in X and let A*=A*(x) be the corresponding dual adjacency matrix. Recall that the Terwilliger algebra T=T(x) is the…

Let F be a finite extension of Qp and G be GL(2,F). When V is the tensor product of three admissible, irreducible, finite dimensional representations of G, the space of G-invariant linear forms has dimension at most one. When a non zero…

A novel factorization for the sum of two single-pair matrices is established as product of lower-triangular, tridiagonal, and upper-triangular matrices, leading to semi-closed-form formulas for tridiagonal matrix inversion. Subsequent…

We determine the group of linear transformations on a vector space $V$ that preserve a polynomial function $f$ on $V$ for several interesting pairs $(V,f)$, using the theory of semisimple algebraic groups.

It has been established that a positive semi-definite Hamiltonian,$H$, that has a tridiagonal matrix representation in a basis set, allows a definition of forward (and backward) shift operators that can be used to define the matrix…

A system of linear equations is normally understood as a linear mapping between two vector spaces. However, most direct solutions (e.g., QR, LU, ...) rely on the inelegant approach of back-substitution: a significant departure from such a…

The concept of cyclic tridiagonal pairs is introduced, and explicit examples are given. For a fairly general class of cyclic tridiagonal pairs with cyclicity N, we associate a pair of `divided polynomials'. The properties of this pair…

A square matrix is called {\it Hessenberg} whenever each entry below the subdiagonal is zero and each entry on the subdiagonal is nonzero. Let $V$ denote a nonzero finite-dimensional vector space over a field $\fld$. We consider an ordered…
