We evaluate a curious determinant, first mentioned by George Andrews in 1980 in the context of descending plane partitions. Our strategy is to combine the famous Desnanot-Jacobi-Dodgson identity with automated proof techniques. More…
The LU-decomposition of Lehmer's tridiagonal matrix is first guessed, then proved, which leads to an evaluation of the determinant.
We prove three conjectures concerning the evaluation of determinants, which are related to the counting of plane partitions and rhombus tilings. One of them was posed by George Andrews in 1980, the other two were by Guoce Xin and Christian…
Determinants of structured matrices play a fundamental role in both pure and applied mathematics, with wide-ranging applications in linear algebra, combinatorics, coding theory, and numerical analysis. In this work, the enumeration of…
In a celebrated paper of 1893, Hadamard established the maximal determinant theorem, which establishes an upper bound on the determinant of a matrix with complex entries of norm at most $1$. His paper concludes with the suggestion that…
One of the greatest experimental mathematicians of all time was also one of the greatest mathematicians of all time, the great Leonhard Euler. Usually he had an uncanny intuition on how many "special cases" one needs before one can…
We consider the Izergin-Korepin determinant [1] together with another determinant which was invented by Kuperberg [2]. He used these determinants to prove a formula for the total number of half-turn symmetric alternating sign matrices of…
A square matrix is $k$-Toeplitz if its diagonals are periodic sequences of period $k$. We find universal formulas for the determinant, the characteristic polynomial, some eigenvectors, and the entries of the inverse of any tridiagonal…
We prove several evaluations of determinants of matrices, the entries of which are given by the recurrence $a_{i,j}=a_{i-1,j}+a_{i,j-1}$, or variations thereof. These evaluations were either conjectured or extend conjectures by Roland…
A basic theory on the first order right and left linear quaternion differential systems (LQDS) is given systematic in this paper. To proceed the theory of LQDS we adopt the theory of column-row determinants recently introduced by the…
In the past few years, the slice-rank lemma of Tao has been applied successfully to many problems in extremal combinatorics. In this paper, first, we define a new notion of triangular tensors which generalizes that of triangular matrices…
In 2013, Henn proposed a special basis for a certain class of master integrals, which are expressible in terms of iterated integrals. In this basis, the master integrals obey a differential equation, where the right hand side is…
In this paper we resolve a conjecture of Zhi-Wei Sun concerning the integrality and arithmetic structure of certain trigonometric determinants. Our approach builds on techniques developed in our previous work, where trigonometric…
Determining the matrix multiplication exponent $\omega$ is one of the greatest open problems in theoretical computer science. We show that it is impossible to prove $\omega = 2$ by starting with structure tensors of modules of fixed degree…
Higher-order tensors appear in various areas of mechanics as well as physics, medicine or earth sciences. As these tensors are highly complex, most are not well understood. Thus, the analysis and the visualization process form a highly…
We develop a computational framework for D-optimal experimental design for PDE-based Bayesian linear inverse problems with infinite-dimensional parameters. We follow a formulation of the experimental design problem that remains valid in the…
In 1931 Elie Cartan constructed a geometry which was rarely considered. Cartan proposed a way to define an infinitesimal metric $ds$ starting from a variational problem on hypersurfaces in an $n$-dimensional manifold $\mathcal{M}$. This…
In 1942, the famous astronomer and physicist Belgian Georges Lemaitre (1894-1966) published in the Bulletin of the class of Sciences of the Royal Academy of Belgium, an article in which he proposes a method that he calls "rational…
We provide a new proof of the linear convergence of the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) when one of the objective terms is strongly convex. Our proof is based on a framework for analyzing optimization algorithms…
This paper considers an idempotent and symmetrical algebraic structure as well as some closely related concept. A special notion of determinant is introduced and a Cramer formula is derived for a class of limit systems derived from the…
