Let $A$ be a proper Riordan array with general element $a_{n,k}$. We study the one parameter family of matrices whose general elements are given by $a_{2n+r, n+k+r}$. We show that each such matrix can be factored into a product of a Riordan…

We present a common sufficient condition for the total positivity of combinatorial triangles and their reversals, as well as the real-rootedness of generating functions of the rows. The proof technique is to construct a unified planar…

Recently, we have established the generalized Li's criterion equivalent to the Riemann hypothesis, viz. demonstrated that the sums over all non-trivial Riemann function zeroes k_n,a=Sum_rho(1-(1-((rho-a)/(rho+a-1))^n) for any real a not…

Let $\mathbb{P}_G([0,\infty))$ and $\mathbb{P}_G^{'}([0,\infty))$ be the sets of positive semidefinite and positive definite matrices of order $n$, respectively, with nonnegative entries, where some positions of zero entries are restricted…

Let H be any complex inner product space with inner product <, >. We say that f : C -->C is Hermitian positive definite on H if the matrix $$(f(<z^r,z^s>))_{r,s=1}^n \eqno(*)$$ is Hermitian positive definite for all choice of z^1,...,z^n in…

A new criterion is developed which provides a check as to whether a chosen set of polarization observables is complete with respect to the determination of all independent $T$-matrix elements of a reaction of the type $a+b\to c+d+...$. As…

It is shown that if the decoherence matrix corresponding to a qubit master equation has a block-diagonal real part, then the evolution is determined by a one-dimensional oscillator equation. Further, when the full decoherence matrix is…

In this paper, we define double almost-Riordan arrays and find that the set of all double almost-Riordan arrays forms a group, called the double almost-Riordan group. We also obtain the sequence characteristics of double almost-Riordan…

We call positive integer n a near-perfect number, if it is sum of all its proper divisors, except of one of them ("redundant divisor"). We prove an Euclid-like theorem for near-perfect numbers and obtain some other results for them.

The order relation on the set of completely n-positive linear maps from a pro-C*-algebra A to L(H), the C*-algebra of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space H, is characterized in terms of the representation associated with each…

A real symmetric matrix $A$ is said to be completely positive if it can be written as $BB^t$ for some (not necessarily square) nonnegative matrix $B$. A simple graph $G$ is called a completely positive graph if every doubly nonnegative…

We exhibit a lower-triangular matrix of polynomials $T(a,c,d,e,f,g)$ in six indeterminates that appears empirically to be coefficientwise totally positive, and which includes as a special case the Eulerian triangle. We prove the…

We provide a decomposition that is sufficient in showing when a symmetric tridiagonal matrix $A$ is completely positive. Our decomposition can be applied to a wide range of matrices. We give alternate proofs for a number of related results…

A real symmetric matrix $M$ is completely positive semidefinite if it admits a Gram representation by (Hermitian) positive semidefinite matrices of any size $d$. The smallest such $d$ is called the (complex) completely positive semidefinite…

A theorem of Hunter ensures that the complete homogeneous symmetric polynomials of even degree are positive definite functions. A probabilistic interpretation of Hunter's theorem suggests a broad generalization: the construction of…

We consider the tensorial Schur product $R \circ^\otimes S = [r_{ij} \otimes s_{ij}]$ for $R \in M_n(\mathcal{A}), S\in M_n(\mathcal{B}),$ with $\mathcal{A}, \mathcal{B}$ unital $C^*$-algebras, verify that such a `tensorial Schur product'…

A Riordan array is defined by its production matrix. In this paper, we explore the notion of the second production matrix of a Riordan array, characterizing the matrix that is generated by it. We indicate how this procedure can be…

Given a linear recurrence sequence (LRS) over the integers, the Positivity Problem} asks whether all terms of the sequence are positive. We show that, for simple LRS (those whose characteristic polynomial has no repeated roots) of order 9…

We study ranks of the $r\textrm{th}$ Hadamard powers of doubly nonnegative matrices and show that the matrix $A^{\circ r}$ is positive definite for every $n\times n$ doubly nonnegative matrix $A$ and for every $r>n-2$ if and only if no…

A well-known conjecture of Stanley is that the h-vector of any matroid is a pure O-sequence. There have been numerous papers with partial progress on this conjecture, but it is still wide open. Positroids are special class of linear…
