A nonzero pattern is a matrix with entries in {0,*}. A pattern is potentially nilpotent if there is some nilpotent real matrix with nonzero entries in precisely the entries indicated by the pattern. We develop ways to construct some…

Matrix functions extend scalar function concepts to linear operators, offering a unified framework with broad applications in mathematics, science, and engineering. Classical definitions--via power series, spectral calculus, or Jordan…

The normal form for an n-dimensional map with irreducible nilpotent linear part is determined using sl2-representation theory. We sketch by example how the reducible case can also be treated in an algorithmic manner. The construction (and…

A \emph{trace} of a sequence is generated by deleting each bit of the sequence independently with a fixed probability. The well-studied \emph{trace reconstruction} problem asks how many traces are required to reconstruct an unknown binary…

Choose a random linear operator on a vector space of finite cardinality N: then the probability that it is nilpotent is 1/N. This is a linear analogue of the fact that for a random self-map of a set of cardinality N, the probability that…

An algebraic investigation on bicomplex numbers is carried out here. Particularly matrices and linear maps defined on them are discussed. A new kind of cartesian product, referred to as an idempotent product, is introduced and studied. The…

We present a formula for the trace of any symmetric power of a $n\times n$ matrix (with coefficients in a field) in terms of the ordinary powers of the matrix, an arbitrarily chosen linear function which vanishes on the identity matrix, and…

This paper explores idempotent and nilpotent operators in bicomplex spaces, focusing on their properties and behavior. We define idempotent and nilpotent matrices in this framework and derive related results. Several theorems are presented…

Fix a field F. A zero-nonzero pattern A is said to be potentially nilpotent over F if there exists a matrix with entries in F with zero-nonzero pattern A that allows nilpotence. In this paper we initiate an investigation into which…

We study the set $\partition{\nb}$ of all possible Jordan canonical forms of nilpotent matrices commuting with a given nilpotent matrix $B$. We describe $\partition{\nb}$ in the special case when $B$ has only one Jordan block. In the…

In this work, we consider a class of $n$-dimensional, $n\geq2$, piecewise linear discontinuous maps that can exhibit a new type of attractor, called a weird quasiperiodic attractor. While the dynamics associated with these attractors may…

A real $n$-by-$n$ idempotent matrix $A$ with all entries having the same absolute value is called {\it absolutely flat}. We consider the possible ranks of such matrices and herein characterize the triples: size, constant, and rank for which…

Given two nilpotent endomorphisms, we determine when their lattices of hyperinvariant subspaces are isomorphic. The study of the lattice of hyperinvariant subspaces can be reduced to the nilpotent case when the endomorphism has a…

The 4-by-4 nilpotent matrices the numerical ranges of which have non-parallel flat portions on their boundary that are on lines equidistant from the origin are characterized. Their numerical ranges are always symmetric about a line through…

Tom Leinster gave a bijective correspondence between the set of operators on a finite-dimensional vector space $V$ and the set of pairs consisting of a nilpotent operator and a vector in $V$. Over a finite field this bijection implies that…

Problem 10 of the Landelijke Interuniversitaire Mathematische Olympiade 2010 asks for a proof that all matrices in a certain family are nilpotent. Both model solutions prove this using the Cayley-Hamilton theorem. I give a purely…

A loop is automorphic if its inner mappings are automorphisms. Using so-called associated operations, we show that every commutative automorphic loop of odd prime power order is centrally nilpotent. Starting with anisotropic planes in the…

Let $L$ be a finite-dimensional Lie algebra over a field $F$. In This paper we introduce the \emph{nilpotent graph} $\Gamma_\mathfrak{N}(L)$ as the graph whose vertices are the elements of $L \setminus \nil(L)$, where \[\nil(L) = \{x \in L…

In this article, we introduce the concept of nilpotent graph of a finite commutative ring. The set of all non nilpotent elements of a ring is taken as the vertex set and two vertices are adjacent if and only if their sum is nilpotent. We…

Let $\mathscr{F}$ be a field. A matrix $A$ of order $n \times n$ over $\mathscr{F}$ is a product of two nilpotent matrices if and only if it is singular, except if $A$ is a nonzero nilpotent matrix of order $2 \times 2$. This result was…
