In this paper we outline a Matrix Ansatz approach to some problems of combinatorial enumeration. The idea is that many interesting quantities can be expressed in terms of products of matrices, where the matrices obey certain relations. We…

An $n\times n$ real matrix $Q$ is quasi-orthogonal if $Q^{\top}Q=qI_{n}$ for some positive real number $q$. If $M$ is a principal sub-matrix of a quasi-orthogonal matrix $Q$, we say that $Q$ is a quasi-orthogonal extension of $M$. In a…

In this paper, we introduce a particular class of matrices. We study the concept of a matrix to be \emph{balanced}. We study some properties of this concept in the context of matrix operations. We examine the behaviour of various matrix…

It is well-known that every tournament contains a Hamilton path, and every strongly connected tournament contains a Hamilton cycle. This paper establishes transversal generalizations of these classical results. For a collection…

The Seidel matrix of a tournament on $n$ players is an $n\times n$ skew-symmetric matrix with entries in $\{0, 1, -1\}$ that encapsulates the outcomes of the games in the given tournament. It is known that the determinant of an $n\times n$…

A simple graph is called triangular if every edge of it belongs to a triangle. We conjecture that any graphical degree sequence all terms of which are greater than or equal to 4 has a triangular realisation, and establish this conjecture…

We say a digraph $G$ is a {\em minor} of a digraph $H$ if $G$ can be obtained from a subdigraph of $H$ by repeatedly contracting a strongly-connected subdigraph to a vertex. Here, we show the class of all tournaments is a well-quasi-order…

Using a notation of corner between edges when graph has a fixed rotation, i.e. cyclical order of edges around vertices, we define combinatorial objects - combinatorial maps as pairs of permutations, one for vertices and one for faces.…

Matrix properties are a type of property of categories which includes the ones of being Mal'tsev, arithmetical, majority, unital, strongly unital and subtractive. Recently, an algorithm has been developed to determine implications…

A matchstick graph is a graph drawn with straight edges in the plane such that the edges have unit length, and non-adjacent edges do not intersect. We call a matchstick graph $(m;n)$-regular if every vertex has only degree $m$ or $n$. In…

The score of a vertex $x$ in an oriented graph is defined to be its outdegree, \emph{i.e.}, the number of arcs with initial vertex $x$. The score sequence of an oriented graph is the sequence of all scores arranged in nondecreasing order.…

In this study, we introduce the concept of commutative quaternions and commutative quaternion matrices. Firstly, we give some properties of commutative quaternions and their Hamilton matrices. After that we investigate commutative…

The main question we raise here is the following one: given a real orthogonal n by n matrix X, is it true that there exists a rational orthogonal matrix Y having the same zero-pattern? We conjecture that this is the case and prove it for…

We study biased {\em orientation games}, in which the board is the complete graph $K_n$, and Maker and Breaker take turns in directing previously undirected edges of $K_n$. At the end of the game, the obtained graph is a tournament. Maker…

A frame matroid M is graphic if there is a graph G with cycle matroid isomorphic to M. In general, if there is one such graph, there will be many. Zaslavsky has shown that frame matroids are precisely those having a representation as a…

On the set of mappings of the given set, we define the product of mappings. If A is associative algebra, then we consider the set of matrices, whose elements are linear mappings of algebra A. In algebra of matrices of linear mappings we…

A matrix is homogeneous if all of its entries are equal. Let $P$ be a $2\times 2$ zero-one matrix that is not homogeneous. We prove that if an $n\times n$ zero-one matrix $A$ does not contain $P$ as a submatrix, then $A$ has an $cn\times…

The M-matrix is an important concept in matrix theory, and has many applications. Recently, this concept has been extended to higher order tensors [18]. In this paper, we establish some important properties of M-tensors and nonsingular…

In this paper, we use the theory of Riordan matrices to introduce the notion of an oriented Riordan graph. The oriented Riordan graphs are a far-reaching generalization of the well known and well studied Toeplitz oriented graphs and…

For a sufficiently nice 2 dimensional shape, we define its approximating matrix (or patterned matrix) as a random matrix with iid entries arranged according to a given pattern. For large approximating matrices, we observe that the…
