We consider the set $\mathcal M_n(\mathbb Z; H)$ of $n\times n$-matrices with integer elements of size at most $H$ and obtain upper bounds on the number of matrices from $\mathcal M_n(\mathbb Z; H)$, for which the characteristic polynomial…

A generalized definition of the determinant of matrices is given, which is compatible with the usual determinant for square matrices and keeps many important properties, such as being an alternating multilinear function, keeping…

Let $n$ be a positive integer and $X = [x_{ij}]_{1 \leq i, j \leq n}$ be an $n \times n$\linebreak \noindent sized matrix of independent random variables having joint uniform distribution $$\hbox{Pr} {x_{ij} = k \hbox{for} 1 \leq k \leq n}…

A new sufficient condition for a list of real numbers to be the spectrum of a symmetric doubly stochastic matrix is presented; this is a contribution to the classical spectral inverse problem for symmetric doubly stochastic matrices that is…

Let $\Lambda$ be a radical square zero algebra of a Dynkin quiver and let $\Gamma$ be the Auslander algebra of $\Lambda$. Then the number of tilting right $\Gamma$-modules is $2^{m-1}$ if $\Lambda$ is of $A_{m}$ type for $m\geq 1$.…

Let 1_k 0_l denote the (k+l)\times 1 column of k 1's above l 0's. Let q. (1_k 0_l) $ denote the (k+l)xq matrix with q copies of the column 1_k0_l. A 2-design S_{\lambda}(2,3,v) can be defined as a vx(\lambda/3)\binom{v}{2} (0,1)-matrix with…

This is the first installment of an exposition of an ACL2 formalization of elementary linear algebra, focusing on aspects of the subject that apply to matrices over an arbitrary commutative ring with identity, in anticipation of a future…

For a fixed integer $e \geqslant 3$ and $n$ large enough, we show that the number of congruence classes modulo $2^e$ of characteristic polynomials of $n \times n$ symmetric $\{\pm 1\}$-matrices with constant diagonal is equal to…

Let Lambda be a set of three integers and let C_Lambda be the space of 2pi-periodic functions with spectrum in Lambda endowed with the maximum modulus norm. We isolate the maximum modulus points x of trigonometric trinomials T in C_Lambda…

We establish a lower bound on the forcing numbers of domino tilings computable in polynomial time based on height functions. This lower bound is sharp for a 2n by 2n square as well as other cases.

Immanants are polynomial functions of n by n matrices attached to irreducible characters of the symmetric group S_n, or equivalently to Young diagrams of size n. Immanants include determinants and permanents as extreme cases. Valiant proved…

Let $A$ be an irreducible (entrywise) nonnegative $n\times n$ matrix with eigenvalues $$\rho, b+ic,b-ic, \lambda_4,\cdots,\lambda_n,$$ where $\rho$ is the Perron eigenvalue. It is shown that for any $t \in [0, \infty)$ there is a…

We critically discuss the problem of finding the $\lambda$-index $\mathcal{N}(\lambda)\in [0,1,\ldots,N]$ of a real symmetric matrix $\mathbf{M}$, defined as the number of eigenvalues smaller than $\lambda$, using the entries of…

Williamson's theorem states that if $A$ is a $2n \times 2n$ real symmetric positive definite matrix then there exists a $2n \times 2n$ real symplectic matrix $M$ such that $M^T A M=D \oplus D$, where $D$ is an $n \times n$ diagonal matrix…

Given any n-tuple of complex numbers, one can canonically define a polynomial of degree n+1 that has the entries of this n-tuple as its critical points. In 2002, Beardon, Carne, and Ng studied a map $\theta\colon \mathbb{C}^n\to…

Let $D(n)$ be the maximal determinant for $n \times n$ $\{\pm 1\}$-matrices, and ${\mathcal R}(n) = D(n)/n^{n/2}$ be the ratio of $D(n)$ to the Hadamard upper bound. We give several new lower bounds on ${\mathcal R}(n)$ in terms of $d$,…

An $n\times n$ complex matrix $A$ is called coninvolutory if $\bar AA=I_n$ and skew-coninvolutory if $\bar AA=-I_n$ (which implies that $n$ is even). We prove that each matrix of size $n\times n$ with $n>1$ is a sum of 5 coninvolutory…

While dealing with the nontrivial task of classifying Mueller matrices, of special interest is the study of the degenerate Mueller matrices (matrices with vanishing determinant, for which the law of multiplication holds, but there exists no…

Computing the determinant of a matrix with the univariate and multivariate polynomial entries arises frequently in the scientific computing and engineering fields. In this paper, an effective algorithm is presented for computing the…

This paper is the first in the series of papers devoted to the explicit description of linear maps preserving the Cullis' determinant of rectangular matrices with entries belonging to an arbitrary ground field which is large enough. The…
