We solve two conjectures of Ceken-Palmieri-Wang-Zhang concerning discriminants and give some applications.
A difference equation based method of determining two factors of a composite is presented. The feasibility of P-complexity is shown. Presentation of material is non-theoretical; intended to be accessible to a broader audience of non…
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…
The theory of matrix models is reviewed from the point of view of its relation to integrable hierarchies. Discrete 1-matrix, 2-matrix, ``conformal'' (multicomponent) and Kontsevich models are considered in some detail, together with the…
In this paper we provide an identity between determinant and generalized matrix function. Also, a criterion of positive semi-definite matrices affirming the permanent dominant conjecture is given. As a consequence, infinitely many infinite…
We introduce judgemental theories and their calculi as a general framework to present and study deductive systems. As an exemplification of their expressivity, we approach dependent type theory and natural deduction as special kinds of…
Circulant matrices over finite fields and over commutative finite chain rings have been of interest due to their nice algebraic structures and wide applications. In many cases, such matrices over rings have a closed connection with diagonal…
Computer algebra systems are a great help for mathematical research but sometimes unexpected errors in the software can also badly affect it. As an example, we show how we have detected an error of Mathematica computing determinants of…
Let $A$ and $B$ be complex numbers, and let $(w_n)_{n\ge0}$ be a sequence of complex numbers with $w_{n+1}=Aw_n-Bw_{n-1}$ for all $n=1,2,3,\ldots$. When $w_0=0$ and $w_1=1$, the sequence $(w_n)_{n\ge0}$ is just the Lucas sequence…
We present a simple, yet useful result about the expected value of the determinant of random sum of rank-one matrices. Computing such expectations in general may involve a sum over exponentially many terms. Nevertheless, we show that an…
In the following short paper we list some useful results concerning determinants and inverses of matrices. First we show, how to calculate determinants of $d \times d$ matrices, if their traces are known. As a next step $4 \times 4$…
In this paper, we establish a determinantal formula for 2 x 2 matrix commutators [X,Y] = XY - YX over a commutative ring, using (among other invariants) the quantum traces of X and Y. Special forms of this determinantal formula include a…
We present a variation and generalization of a determinant evaluation of Wilf (math.CO/9809120). His result concerns a matrix whose entries are the coefficients of powers of a given power series; we replace the powers by repeated…
A new matrix operation based on inserting columns and rows, similarly to the mediant operation between fractions, gives rise to the Farey determinants matrix or, equivalently, the matrix of the numerators of the differences of Farey…
Matrices over the dual numbers are considered. We propose an approach to classify these matrices up to similarity. Some preliminary results on the realization of this approach are obtained. In particular, we produce explicitly canonical…
Some applications of a result, which is proved recently, is considered. We first prove three determinantal identities concerning the binomial coefficient and Stirling numbers of the first and the second kind. We also easily obtain the…
Some recent papers formulated sufficient conditions for the decomposition of matrix variances. A statement was that if we have one or two observables, then the decomposition is possible. In this paper we consider an arbitrary finite set of…
In this paper we introduce a class of mathematical objects called \emph{extensors} and develop some aspects of their theory with considerable detail. We give special names to several particular but important cases of extensors. The…
In this brief semi-expository article we present a few efficient techniques for calculating and proving determinantal identities. Several stimulating examples of different flavor and applications are spread across the pages which we hope…
We examine relationships between two minors of order n of some matrices of n rows and n+r columns. This is done through a class of determinants, here called $n$-determinants, the investigation of which is our objective. We prove that…
