The maximum-entropy sampling problem is a fundamental and challenging combinatorial-optimization problem, with application in spatial statistics. It asks to find a maximum-determinant order-$s$ principal submatrix of an order-$n$ covariance…

In this paper, we study the maximum matching problem in RDV graphs, i.e., graphs that are vertex-intersection graphs of downward paths in a rooted tree. We show that this problem can be reduced to a problem of testing (repeatedly) whether a…

For bipartite graphs the NP-completeness is proved for the problem of existence of maximum matching which removal leads to a graph with given lower(upper)bound for the cardinality of its maximum matching.

It is critical to understand the properties of spatial correlation matrices in massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. We derive new bounds on the extreme eigenvalues of a spatial correlation matrix that is characterized by…

A subspace of matrices over $\mathbb{F}_{q^e}^{m\times n}$ can be naturally embedded as a subspace of matrices in $\mathbb{F}_q^{em\times en}$ with the property that the rank of any of its matrix is a multiple of $e$. It is quite natural to…

A matching $M$ in a graph $G$ is said to be uniquely restricted if there is no other matching in $G$ that matches the same set of vertices as $M$. We describe a polynomial-time algorithm to compute a maximum cardinality uniquely restricted…

We consider bounds on maximum nullity of a graph via transversal numbers of compatible collections of forts. Results include generalizations of theorems from symmetric to combinatorially symmetric matrices, special bases of matrix…

We show that each perfect matching in a bipartite graph $G$ intersects at least half of the perfect matchings in $G$. This result has equivalent formulations in terms of the permanent of the adjacency matrix of a graph, and in terms of…

We define a new class of binary matrices by maximizing the peak-sidelobe distances in the aperiodic autocorrelations. These matrices can be used as robust position marks for in-plane spatial alignment. The optimal square matrices of…

Let $F$ be a field. In this note we give a construction for a family of maximal Mathieu subspaces (or Mathieu-Zhao subspaces) of the matrix algebras $M_n(F)$ $(n\ge 2)$. As an application we also give a classification of Mathieu subspaces…

We consider the problem of determining rank loss conditions for a concatenation of full-rank matrices, such that each row of the composing matrices is scaled by a random coefficient. This problem has applications in wireless interference…

In this paper we study combinatorial and algorithmic resp. complexity questions of upper domination, i.e., the maximum cardinality of a minimal dominating set in a graph. We give a full classification of the related maximisation and…

We introduce and study the notion of maximal tracial algebras. We prove several results in a general setting based on dual pairs and multiplier pairs. In a special case that X is a Banach space we determine the abelian subalgebras of B(X)…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be an undirected graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, in which each vertex $u$ is assigned an integer priority in $[1,n]$, with 1 being the "highest" priority. Let $M$ be a matching of $G$. We define the priority score of…

We use tools of additive combinatorics for the study of subvarieties defined by {\it high rank} families of polynomials in high dimensional $\mathbb{F} _q$-vector spaces. In the first, analytic part of the paper we prove a number properties…

The set of matrices of given positive semidefinite rank is semialgebraic. In this paper we study the geometry of this set, and in small cases we describe its boundary. For general values of positive semidefinite rank we provide a conjecture…

Motivated by questions in theoretical computer science and quantum information theory, we study the classical problem of determining linear spaces of matrices of bounded rank. Spaces of bounded rank three were classified in 1983, and it has…

In problems involving approximation, completion, denoising, dimension reduction, estimation, interpolation, modeling, order reduction, regression, etc, we argue that the near-universal practice of assuming that a function, matrix, or tensor…

We give an upper bound on the number of perfect matchings in simple graphs with a given number of vertices and edges. We apply this result to give an upper bound on the number of 2-factors in a directed complete bipartite balanced graph on…

We consider a space of sparse Boolean matrices of size $n \times n$, which have finite co-rank over $GF(2)$ with high probability. In particular, the probability such a matrix has full rank, and is thus invertible, is a positive constant…
