If L, respectively R are matrices with entries binom{i-1,j-1}, respectively binom{i-1,n-j}, it is known that L^2 = I (mod 2), respectively R^3 = I (mod 2), where I is the identity matrix of dimension n > 1 (see P10735-May 1999 issue of the…

A classical theorem of Herglotz states that a function $n\mapsto r(n)$ from $\mathbb Z$ into $\mathbb C^{s\times s}$ is positive definite if and only there exists a $\mathbb C^{s\times s}$-valued positive measure $d\mu$ on $[0,2\pi]$ such…

For relatively prime positive integers u_0 and r, we consider the arithmetic progression {u_k := u_0+k*r} (0 <= k <= n). Define L_n := lcm{u_0,u_1,...,u_n} and let a >= 2 be any integer. In this paper, we show that, for integers alpha,r >=…

Fillmore Theorem says that if A is an nxn complex non-scalar matrix and {\gamma}_1,...,{\gamma}_{n} are complex numbers with {\gamma}_1+...+{\gamma}_{n}=trA, then there exists a matrix B similar to A with diagonal entries…

For any positive integer r, let pi_{2r}(x) denote the number of prime pairs (p, p+2r) with p not exceeding (large) x. According to the prime-pair conjecture of Hardy and Littlewood, pi_{2r}(x) should be asymptotic to 2C_{2r}li_2(x) with an…

In previous work of this author it was conjectured that the sum of power sums $p_\lambda,$ for partitions $\lambda$ ranging over an interval $[(1^n), \mu]$ in reverse lexicographic order, is Schur-positive. Here we investigate this…

Let $Q(z,w)=-\prod_{k=1}^n [(z-a_k)(\bar{w}-\bar{a}_k)-R_k^2]$. M. Putinar and B. Gustafsson proved recently that the matrix $Q(a_i,a_j)$, $1\leq i,j\leq n$, is positive definite if disks $|z-a_i|<R_i$ form a disjoint collection. We extend…

A celebrated theorem of Lind states that a positive real number is equal to the spectral radius of some integral primitive matrix, if and only if, it is a Perron algebraic integer. Given a Perron number $p$, we prove that there is an…

We consider linear recurrences with polynomial coefficients of Poincar\'e type and with a unique simple dominant eigenvalue. We give an algorithm that proves or disproves positivity of solutions provided the initial conditions satisfy a…

Given an ordered triple of positive integers $(n,r,b)$, where $1\leq b\leq\binom{n}{r}$, does there exist a matrix of size $r\times n$ with exactly $b$ invertible submatrices of size $r\times r$? Such a matrix is called an $(n,r,b)$-matrix.…

We study the algebraic properties of Generalized Laguerre Polynomials for negative integral values of the parameter. For integers $r,n\geq 0$, we conjecture that $L_n^{(-1-n-r)}(x) = \sum_{j=0}^n \binom{n-j+r}{n-j}x^j/j!$ is a…

We show that a matrix is a Hermitian positive semidefinite matrix whose nonzero entries have modulus 1 if and only if it similar to a direct sum of all $1's$ matrices and a 0 matrix via a unitary monomial similarity. In particular, the only…

Let $S(X,B)$ be a symmetric (``palindromic'') word in two letters $X$ and $B$. A theorem due to Hillar and Johnson states that for each pair of positive definite matrices $B$ and $P$, there is a positive definite solution $X$ to the word…

We prove that many sequences of positive numbers $(a_n)$ defined by finite linear difference equations $a_{n+k}=c_{k-1}a_{n+k-1}+...+c_0a_n$ with suitable non negative reals coefficients $c_i$ satisfy Bendford's Law on the first digit in…

We propose a numerical method, based on the shift-and-invert power iteration, that answers whether a symmetric matrix is positive definite ("yes") or not ("no"). Our method uses randomization. But, it returns the correct answer with high…

It is shown that for positive real numbers $ 0<\lambda_{1}<\dots<\lambda_{n}$, $\left[\frac{1}{\beta({\lambda_i}, {\lambda_j})}\right]$, where $ \beta(\cdot,\cdot)$ denotes the beta function, is infinitely divisible and totally positive.…

Given linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) L_1 and L_2, it is natural to ask: (Q1) when does one dominate the other, that is, does L_1(X) PsD imply L_2(X) PsD? (Q2) when do they have the same solution set? Such questions can be NP-hard. This…

Let $G$ be a graph with adjacency matrix $A(G)$. We conjecture that \[2n^+(G) \le n^-(G)(n^-(G) + 1),\] where $n^+(G)$ and $n^-(G)$ denote the number of positive and negative eigenvalues of $A(G)$, respectively. This conjecture generalizes…

We show the following version of the Schur's product theorem. If $M=(M_{j,k})_{j,k=1}^n\in{\mathbb R}^{n\times n}$ is a positive semidefinite matrix with all entries on the diagonal equal to one, then the matrix $N=(N_{j,k})_{j,k=1}^n$ with…

In this article we consider products of real random matrices with fixed size. Let $A_1,A_2, \dots $ be i.i.d $k \times k$ real matrices, whose entries are independent and identically distributed from probability measure $\mu$. Let $X_n =…
