Let $R$ be a finite ring with identity. The idempotent graph $I(R)$ is the graph whose vertex set consists of the non-trivial idempotent elements of $R$, where two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $xy = yx = 0$. The…

Let K be an arbitrary field, and a,b,c,d be elements of K such that the polynomials t^2-at-b and t^2-ct-d are split in K[t]. Given a square matrix M with entries in K, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of two…

A hollow matrix described by a graph $G$ is a real symmetric matrix having all diagonal entries equal to zero and with the off-diagonal entries governed by the adjacencies in $G$. For a given graph $G$, the determination of all possible…

Let F be a finite field and R = M2(F) be 2x2 matrix ring over F. In this paper, we explicitly determine all the idempotents in R. Using these idempotents, we study the idempotent graph of R whose vertex set is the set of non-trivial…

It is well-known that each left ideals in a matrix rings over a finite field is generated by an idempotent matrix. In this work we compute the number of left ideals in these rings, the number of different idempotents generating each left…

A flat complete causal Lorentzian manifold is called {\it strictly causal} if the past and the future of each its point are closed near this point. We consider strictly causal manifolds with unipotent holonomy groups and assign to a…

We look at spaces of infinite-by-infinite matrices, and consider closed subsets that are stable under simultaneous row and column operations. We prove that up to symmetry, any of these closed subsets is defined by finitely many equations.

We present an example of a subfield $\mathcal{F}\subset\mathbb{R}$ and a matrix $A$ whose conventional and nonnegative ranks equal five, but the nonnegative rank with respect to $\mathcal{F}$ equals six. In other words, $A$ can be…

Let A be a noetherian commutative ring, and let I be an ideal in A. We study questions of flatness and I-adic completeness for infinitely generated A-modules. This is done using the notions of decaying function and I-adically free A-module.

A matrix (and any associated linear system) will be referred to as structured if it has a small displacement rank. It is known that the inverse of a structured matrix is structured, which allows fast inversion (or solution), and reduced…

Subsets of a matrix algebra over a field that are invariant under conjugation and contain the linear span of each two of their commuting elements are described. They obviously include the subsets of diagonalizable and nilpotent matrices. In…

A Hadamard matrix is a scaled orthogonal matrix with $\pm 1$ entries. Such matrices exist in certain dimensions: the Hadamard conjecture is that such a matrix always exists when $n$ is a multiple of 4. A conjecture attributed to Ryser is…

Let $D$ be a space of $2\times n$ matrices. Then the face of the cone of all completely positive maps from $M_2$ into $M_n$ given by $D$ is an exposed face of the bigger cone of all decomposable positive linear maps if and only if the set…

In this paper we characterize invertible matrices over an arbitrary commutative antiring S and find the structure of GL_n (S). We find the number of nilpotent matrices over an entire commutative finite antiring. We prove that every…

We study the class of those linear relations that can be factorized as products of idempotent relations. We provide several characterizations of this class, extending known factorization results for operators to the more general setting of…

A square matrix of order $n$ with $n\geq 2$ is called a \textit{permutative matrix} or permutative when all its rows (up to the first one) are permutations of precisely its first row. In this paper, the spectra of a class of permutative…

In this paper we study structural properties of residuated lattices that are idempotent as monoids. We provide descriptions of the totally ordered members of this class and obtain counting theorems for the number of finite algebras in…

When doubly-affine matrices such as Latin and magic squares with a single non-zero eigenvalue are powered up they become constant matrices after a few steps. The process of compounding squares of orders m and n can then be used to generate…

A new property, the strong singular value property, is introduced, developed, and utilized to study the problem of which lists of nonnegative real numbers occur as the singular values of a matrix with a prescribed zero-nonzero pattern.

A multidimensional nonnegative matrix is called polystochastic if the sum of its entries over each line is equal to $1$. The permanent of a multidimensional matrix is the sum of products of entries over all diagonals. We prove that if $d$…
