We present a randomized, inverse-free algorithm for producing an approximate diagonalization of any $n \times n$ matrix pencil $(A,B)$. The bulk of the algorithm rests on a randomized divide-and-conquer eigensolver for the generalized…
We give a unified and systematic way to find bounds for the largest real eigenvalue of a nonnegative matrix by considering its modified quotient matrix. We leverage this insight to identify the unique class of matrices whose largest real…
We give two examples of plane curve arrangements of pencil type which are very close to line arrangements, though the action of the monodromy operator on the first cohomology group of the Milnor Fiber has eigenvalues of order 5 and 6,…
We consider a pencil of matrix Sturm-Liouville operators on a finite interval. We study properties of its spectral characteristics and inverse problems that consist in recovering of the pencil by the spectral data: eigenvalues and…
Let six points $1, ...6$ lie in general position in the real projective plane and consider the pencil of nodal cubics based at these points, with node at one of them, say 1. This pencil has five reducible cubics. We call combinatorial cubic…
We study tensor network varieties associated with the triangular graph, with a focus on the case where one of the physical dimensions is 2. This allows us to interpret the tensors as pencils of matrices. We provide a complete…
In this paper we define the combinatorial analogous of a pencil, and show its relationship with the concept of admissibility. Such an object is usefull to study the isomorphisms between fundamental groups of the complements of line…
The change of the Kronecker structure of a matrix pencil perturbed by another pencil of rank one has been characterized in terms of the homogeneous invariant factors and the chains of column and row minimal indices of the initial and the…
The recursively-constructed family of Mandelbrot matrices $M_n$ for $n=1$, $2$, $\ldots$ have nonnegative entries (indeed just $0$ and $1$, so each $M_n$ can be called a binary matrix) and have eigenvalues whose negatives $-\lambda = c$…
Eigensolvers involving complex moments can determine all the eigenvalues in a given region in the complex plane and the corresponding eigenvectors of a regular linear matrix pencil. The complex moment acts as a filter for extracting…
A regular matrix pencil sE-A and its rank one perturbations are considered. We determine the sets in the extended complex plane which are the eigenvalues of the perturbed pencil. We show that the largest Jordan chains at each eigenvalue of…
A new class of linearizations and $\ell$-ifications for $m\times m$ matrix polynomials $P(x)$ of degree $n$ is proposed. The $\ell$-ifications in this class have the form $A(x) = D(x) + (e\otimes I_m) W(x)$ where $D$ is a block diagonal…
The explicit constructions of minimal isometric, and minimal unitary dilations of an arbitrary linear pencil of operators $T(\lambda)=T_0+\lambda T_1$ consisting of contractions on a separable Hilbert space for $|\lambda |=1$, which…
We introduce concepts of essential numerical range for the linear operator pencil $\lambda\mapsto A-\lambda B$. In contrast to the operator essential numerical range, the pencil essential numerical ranges are, in general, neither convex nor…
Our goal is to study statistical properies of "dielectric resonances" which are poles of conductance of a large random $LC$ network. Such poles are a particular example of eigenvalues $\lambda_n$ of matrix pencils ${\bf H}-\lambda {\bf W}$,…
Two-dimensional linear spaces of symmetric matrices are classified by Segre symbols. After reviewing known facts from linear algebra and projective geometry, we address new questions motivated by algebraic statistics and optimization. We…
Consider two symmetric $3 \times 3$ matrices $A$ and $B$ with entries in $GF(q)$, for $q=p^n$, $p$ an odd prime. The zero sets of $v^T Av$ and $v^T Bv$ can be viewed as (possibly degenerate) conics in the finite projective coordinate plane…
V. I. Arnold [Russian Math. Surveys 26, no. 2, 1971, 29-43] constructed smooth generic families of matrices with respect to similarity transformations depending smoothly on the entries of matrices and got bifurcation diagrams of such…
An oriented graph is said positively multiplicative when its adjacency matrix $A$ embeds in a matrix algebra admitting a basis $\mathsf{B}$ with nonnegative structure constants in which the matrix of the multiplication by $A$ coincides with…
