An $n \times m$ non-negative matrix with row sum $m$ and column sum $n$ is called doubly stochastic. We answer the problem of finding doubly stochastic matrices of smallest posible support for every $1 <n \leq m$. Any matrix of minimum…

Let $n \geq 5$ and let $u^1,\dots,u^n$ be nonnegative real $n$-vectors such that the indices of their positive elements form the sets $\{1,2,\dots,n-2\},\{2,3,\dots,n-1\},\dots,\{n,1,\dots,n-3\}$, respectively. Here each index set is…

Let $A$ be an element of the copositive cone ${\cal C}_n$. A zero $u$ of $A$ is a nonzero nonnegative vector such that $u^TAu = 0$. The support of $u$ is the index set $\mbox{supp}u \subset \{1,\dots,n\}$ corresponding to the positive…

The paper is devoted to multidimensional $(0,1)$-matrices extremal with respect to containing a polydiagonal (a fractional generalization of a diagonal). Every extremal matrix is a threshold matrix, i.e., an entry belongs to its support…

In this work we complement the description of the extreme rays of the $6 \times 6$ copositive cone with some topological structure. In a previous paper we decomposed the set of extreme elements of this cone into a disjoint union of pieces…

An $n \times m$ array with nonnegative entries is called doubly stochastic if the sum of its entries at each row is $m$ and at each column is $n$. The set of all $n \times m$ doubly stochastic arrays is a convex polytope with finitely many…

A zero-one matrix $M$ is said to contain another zero-one matrix $A$ if we can delete some rows and columns of $M$ and replace some $1$-entries with $0$-entries such that the resulting matrix is $A$. The extremal number of $A$, denoted…

The joint spectral radius of a bounded set of $d \times d$ real matrices is defined to be the maximum possible exponential growth rate of products of matrices drawn from that set. For a fixed set of matrices, a sequence of matrices drawn…

We shall present an elementary approach to extremal decompositions of (quantum) covariance matrices determined by densities. We give a new proof on former results and provide a sharp estimate of the ranks of the densities that appear in the…

New families of nonnegative biquadratic forms that have 8, 9 or 10 real zeros in $\mathbb{P}^2\times \mathbb{P}^2$ are constructed. These are the first examples with 8, 9 or 10 real zeros. It is known that nonnegative biquadratic forms with…

We study stable subspaces of positive extremal maps of finite dimensional matrix algebras that preserve trace and matrix identity (so-called bistochastic maps). We have established the existence of the isometric-sweeping decomposition for…

Let $M$ be a compact Hausdorff space. We prove that in this paper, every self--adjoint matrix over $C(M)$ is approximately diagonalizable iff $\dim M\le 2$ and $\HO^2(M,\mathbb Z)\cong 0$. Using this result, we show that every unitary…

Let $F$ be a $k\times \ell$ (0,1)-matrix. A matrix is simple if it is a (0,1)-matrix with no repeated columns. A (0,1)-matrix $A$ is said to have a $F$ as a configuration if there is a submatrix of $A$ which is a row and column permutation…

In this note, we use elementary submodels to prove that a separable monotonically normal compactum can be mapped on a separable metric space via a continuous function whose fibers have cardinality at most 2.

Let $X$ be a compact metric space which is locally absolutely retract and let $\phi: C(X)\to C(Y, M_n)$ be a unital homomorphism, where $Y$ is a compact metric space with ${\rm dim}Y\le 2.$ It is proved that there exists a sequence of $n$…

We study copositive matrices which admit a decomposition into a sum of a positive semidefinite matrix and a matrix with nonnegative entries. Our main result shows that if the off-diagonal entries of a copositive matrix are nondecreasing in…

A real symmetric n times n matrix is called copositive if the corresponding quadratic form is non-negative on the closed first orthant. If the matrix fails to be copositive there exists some non-negative certificate for which the quadratic…

In this note, we consider matrices similar to $X$-form matrices, which are the matrices for which only the diagonal and the anti-diagonal elements can be different from zero. First, we give a characterization of these matrices using the…

We investigate which relations for families of commuting matrices are stable under small perturbations, or in other words, which commutative $C^*$-algebras $C(X)$ are matricially semiprojective. Extending the works of Davidson,…

We give a characterization for the extreme points of the convex set of correlation matrices with a countable index set. A Hermitian matrix is called a correlation matrix if it is positive semidefinite with unit diagonal entries. Using the…
