Using recurrence matrices, defined and described with some details, we study a few determinants related to evaluations of binomial coefficients on Dirichlet characters modulo 2, 4 and 8.

Let $(P,\preceq)$ be a lattice and $f$ a complex-valued function on $P$. We define meet and join matrices on two arbitrary subsets $X$ and $Y$ of $P$ by $(X,Y)_f=(f(x_i\wedge y_j))$ and $[X,Y]_f=(f(x_i\vee x_j))$ respectively. Here we…

The spinor representation of the Lorentz group does not accept simple generalization with the group GL(4,R) of general linear coordinate transformations. The Dirac equation may be written for an arbitrary choice of a coordinate system and a…

Every square matrix $A=(a_{uv})\in \mathcal{C}^{n\times n}$ can be represented as a digraph having $n$ vertices. In the digraph, a block (or 2-connected component) is a maximally connected subdigraph that has no cut-vertex. The determinant…

4x4x3 absolutely nonsingular tensors are characterized by their determinant polynomial. Non-quivalence among absolutely nonsingular tensors with respect to a class of linear transformations, which do not chage the tensor rank,is studied. It…

We describe calculations of Jarlskog's determinant in the case of n=3,4 in detail. Next, we investigate some formulas for invariant phases of unitary matrices and derive some explicit relations of them.

This note deals with two topics of linear algebra. We give a simple and short proof of the multiplicative property of the determinant and provide a constructive formula for rotations. The derivation of the rotation matrix relies on simple…

A question of interest in Linear Algebra is whether all n x n complex matrices can be unitarily tridiagonalised. The answer for all n not equal to 4 (affirmative or negative) has been known for a while, whereas the case n=4 seems to have…

Significant research has been carried out in the past half-century on defining generalised determinants for transformations between (typically real) vector spaces of different dimensions. We review three different generalisations of the…

This paper presents an innovative set of tools developed to support a methodology to find the left eigenvalues of $m$ order quaternion square matrix. It is solving four real polynomial equations of order not greater than $4m-3$ in four…

In a Minkowski spacetime, one may transform the Dirac wave function under the spin group, as one transforms coordinates under the Poincar\'e group. This is not an option in a curved spacetime. Therefore, in the equation proposed…

We establish an explicit criterion for determining whether a $4 \times 4$ upper-triangular matrix is a contraction with respect to the Euclidean operator norm.

In this note, we present a systematic method to explicitly compute the determinants and inverses for some generalized Hilbert matrices associated with orthogonal systems with explicit representations. We expressed the determinant, the…

For the symmetric group $S_4$ we determine all the integer values taken by its group determinant when the matrix entries are integers.

We discuss the relationship between quaternion algebras and quadratic forms with a focus on computational aspects. Our basic motivating problem is to determine if a given algebra of rank 4 over a commutative ring R embeds in the 2x2-matrix…

In the context of applying the Lorentz group theory to polarization optics in the frames of Stokes-Mueller formalism, some properties of the Lorentz group are investigated. We start with the factorized form of arbitrary Lorentz matrix as a…

We present a matrix formalism, inspired by the Minkowski four-vectors of special relativity, useful to solve classical physics problems related to both mechanics and thermodynamics. The formalism turns out to be convenient to deal with…

An arbitrary Mueller matrix can be decomposed into a sum of up to four deterministic Mueller-Jones matrices, with strengths given by the eigenvalues of an associated Hermitian matrix. A geometrical representation of the eigenvalues in terms…

Let $UT_4(F)$ be $4\times 4$ upper triangular matrix algebra over a field $F$ of characteristic zero and let $\mathcal{A}$ be the subalgebra of $UT_4(F)$ linearly generated by $\{\mathbf{e}_{ij}:1 \leq i\leq j \leq 4 \} \setminus…

We present further properties of a previously proposed recursive scheme for parameterisation of n-by-n unitary matrices. We show that the factors in the recursive formula may be introduced in any desired order. The method is used to study…
