Quadratic matrix equations of the kind $A_1X^2+A_0X+A_{-1}=X$ are encountered in the analysis of Quasi--Birth-Death stochastic processes where the solution of interest is the minimal nonnegative solution $G$. In many queueing models,…

Let $A_\alpha$ be the semi-infinite tridiagonal matrix having subdiagonal and superdiagonal unit entries, $(A_\alpha)_{11}=\alpha$, where $\alpha\in\mathbb C$, and zero elsewhere. A basis $\{P_0,P_1,P_2,\ldots\}$ of the linear space…

Wythoff Nim aka Corner the Lady is a classic combinatorial game. A Queen is placed on an infinite chess board and two players take alternate turns, moving the Queen closer to the corner. The first player that corners the Queen wins. What…

This paper is a follow-up to the paper [Matrix periods and competition periods of Boolean Toeplitz matrices, {\it Linear Algebra Appl.} 672:228--250, (2023)]. Given subsets $S$ and $T$ of $\{1,\ldots,n-1\}$, an $n\times n$ Toeplitz matrix…

The $n$-Queens graph, $\mathcal{Q}(n)$, is the graph obtained from a $n\times n$ chessboard where each of its $n^2$ squares is a vertex and two vertices are adjacent if and only if they are in the same row, column or diagonal. In a previous…

Infinite chess is chess played on an infinite edgeless chessboard. The familiar chess pieces move about according to their usual chess rules, and each player strives to place the opposing king into checkmate. The mate-in-n problem of…

Solving the Toeplitz systems, which is to find the vector $x$ such that $T_nx = b$ given an $n\times n$ Toeplitz matrix $T_n$ and a vector $b$, has a variety of applications in mathematics and engineering. In this paper, we present a…

Given a word $w$, what is the maximum possible number of appearances of $w$ reading contiguously along any of the directions in $\{-1, 0, 1\}^d \setminus \{\mathbf{0}\}$ in a large $d$-dimensional grid (as in a word search)? Patchell and…

We investigate the joint convergence of independent random Toeplitz matrices with complex input entries that have a pair-correlation structure, along with deterministic Toeplitz matrices and the backward identity permutation matrix.…

A symmetric $m\times m$ matrix $M$ with entries taken from $\{0,1,\ast\}$ gives rise to a graph partition problem, asking whether a graph can be partitioned into $m$ vertex sets matched to the rows (and corresponding columns) of $M$ such…

In this paper we describe some properties of companion matrices and demonstrate some special patterns that arise when a Toeplitz or a Hankel matrix is multiplied by a related companion matrix. We present a new condition, generalizing known…

Chien, Liu, Nakazato, and Tam proved that all n by n classical Toeplitz matrices (one-level Toeplitz matrices) are unitarily similar to complex symmetric matrices via two types of unitary matrices and the type of the unitary matrices only…

We discuss the problem of counting {\em incidence matrices}, i.e. zero-one matrices with no zero rows or columns. Using different approaches we give three different proofs for the leading asymptotics for the number of matrices with $n$ ones…

On the n x n chessboard, the move totals of distinct pieces satisfy a small number of striking arithmetic identities. The total diagonal mobility of the bishop and the total 8-neighbor mobility of the king are exactly proportional, with…

In this paper, we provide explicit formulas for the exact inverses of the symmetric tridiagonal near-Toeplitz matrices characterized by weak diagonal dominance in the Toeplitz part. Furthermore, these findings extend to scenarios where the…

We study algebraic properties of matrices whose rows are mutual neighbours, and are also neigbours of 0 ("neighbour" in the sense of a certain nilpotency condition). The intended application is in synthetic differential geometry. For a…

Dominating sets in graphs are often used to model some monitoring of the graph: guards are posted on the vertices of the dominating set, and they can thus react to attacks occurring on the unguarded vertices by moving there (yielding a new…

In the m-\emph{Eternal Domination} game, a team of guard tokens initially occupies a dominating set on a graph $G$. An attacker then picks a vertex without a guard on it and attacks it. The guards defend against the attack: one of them has…

The condition numbers $CN(T)==||T|| .||T^{-1}|| $ of Toeplitz and analytic $n\times n$ matrices $T$ are studied. It is shown that the supremum of $CN(T)$ over all such matrices with $||T|| \leq1$ and the given minimum of eigenvalues…

Twisted Toeplitz matrices constitute a generalization of Toeplitz matrices in the sense that the entries on each diagonal no longer need to be constant, but are given by the values of a continuous function on a partition of $[0,1]$. We…
