A nonnegative matrix $A$ is said to be {\it primitive} if for some positive integer $m$, entries in $A^m$ are positive, notationally represented as $A^m>0.$ The smallest such $m$ is called the {\it exponent} of $A$, denoted $exp(A).$ For…

A real linear combination of products of minors which is nonnegative over all totally nonnegative (TN) matrices is called a determinantal inequality for these matrices. It is referred to as multiplicative when it compares two collections of…

Let $K$ be a proper (i.e., closed, pointed, full convex) cone in ${\Bbb R}^n$. An $n\times n$ matrix $A$ is said to be $K$-primitive if there exists a positive integer $k$ such that $A^k(K \setminus \{0 \}) \subseteq$ int $K$; the least…

We generalize the well known characterizations of totally nonnegative and oscillatory matrices, due to F.R.Gantmacher, M.G.Krein, A.Whitney, C.Loewner, M.Gasca, and J.M.Pena to the case of an arbitrary complex semisimple Lie group.

A set of nonnegative matrices $\mathcal{M}=\{M_1, M_2, \ldots, M_k\}$ is called primitive if there exist indices $i_1, i_2, \ldots, i_m$ such that $M_{i_1} M_{i_2} \ldots M_{i_m}$ is positive (i.e. has all its entries $>0$). The length of…

N-matrices are real $n\times n$ matrices all of whose principal minors are negative. We provide (i) an $O(2^n)$ test to detect whether or not a given matrix is an N-matrix, and (ii) a characterization of N-matrices, leading to the recursive…

An exponent matrix is an $n\times n$ matrix $A=(a_{ij})$ over ${\mathbb N}^0$ satisfying (1) $a_{ii}=0$ for all $i=1,\ldots, n$ and (2) $a_{ij}+a_{jk}\geq a_{ik}$ for all pairwise distinct $i,j,k\in\{1,\dots, n\}$. In the present paper we…

In Communication theory and Coding, it is expected that certain circulant matrices having $k$ ones and $k+1$ zeros in the first row are nonsingular. We prove that such matrices are always nonsingular when $2k+1$ is either a power of a…

Given a real $n \times m$ matrix $B$, its operator norm can be defined as $$|B|=\max_{|v|=1}|Bv|.$$ We consider a matrix "small" if it has non-negative integer entries and its operator norm is less than $2$. These matrices correspond to…

In this work we study a class of anharmonic oscillators within the framework of the Weyl-H\"ormander calculus. The anharmonic oscillators arise from several applications in mathematical physics as natural extensions of the harmonic…

The paper studies the properties of an oscillator whose Hamiltonian is $[(1+q^2)(1+p^2)]^{1/2}-1$. It can be deduced from the nonlinear theory of electrodynamics originally proposed by Max Born in 1934. The quantization of such oscillator…

We determine sufficient conditions for certain classes of $(n+k) \times n$ matrices $E$ to have all order-$n$ minors to be nonzero. For a special class of $(n+1) \times n$ matrices $E,$ we give the formula for the order-$n$ minors. As an…

Let $L$ be a linear operator on univariate polynomials of bounded degree taking values in real symmetric matrices, whose moment matrix is positive semidefinite. Assume that $L$ admits a positive matrix-valued representing measure $\mu$. Any…

As well known, permanent of a square (0,1)-matrix $A$ of order $n$ enumerates the permutations $\beta$ of $1,2,...,n$ with the incidence matrices $B\leq A.$ To obtain enumerative information on even and odd permutations with condition…

Denote by $A_n$ the set of square $(0,1)$ matrices of order $n$. The set $A_n$, $n\le8$, is partitioned into row/column permutation equivalence classes enabling derivation of various facts by simple counting. For example, the number of…

A generalization of the definition of an oscillatory matrix based on the theory of cones is given in this paper. The positivity and simplicity of all the eigenvalues of a generalized oscillatory matrix are proved. The classes of generalized…

In this article, we introduce a notion of an exponential matrix, which is a polynomial matrix with exponential properties, and a notion of an equivalence relation of two exponential matrices, and then we initiate to study classifying…

The sum-product conjecture of Erd\H os and Szemer\'edi states that, given a finite set $A$ of positive numbers, one can find asymptotic lower bounds for $\max\{|A+A|,|A\cdot A|\}$ of the order of $|A|^{1+\delta}$ for every $\delta <1$. In…

We prove that there exists an exponent beyond which all continuous conventional powers of n-by-n doubly nonnegative matrices are doubly nonnegative. We show that this critical exponent cannot be less than $n-2$ and we conjecture that it is…

A surprising result of FitzGerald and Horn (1977) shows that $A^{\circ \alpha} := (a_{ij}^\alpha)$ is positive semidefinite (p.s.d.) for every entrywise nonnegative $n \times n$ p.s.d. matrix $A = (a_{ij})$ if and only if $\alpha$ is a…
