Let $R$ be an associative ring with identity $1$. We describe all matrices in $T_n(R)$ the ring of $n\times n$ upper triangular matrices over $R$ ($n\in \mathbb{N}$), and $T_{\infty}(R)$ the ring of infinite upper triangular matrices over…

Helmke et al. have recently given a formula for the number of reachable pairs of matrices over a finite field. We give a new and elementary proof of the same formula by solving the equivalent problem of determining the number of so called…

Consider the $n$th degree polynomial equation, $X^n+A_{n-1}X^{n-1}+...+A_1X+A_0=0$ over the ring of 2 by 2 complex matrices. If this equation has more than ${2n \choose 2}$ solutions, then it has infinitely many solutions. We show here that…

Triangular numbers that are multiple of other triangular numbers are investigated. It is known that for any positive non-square integer multiplier, there is an infinity of multiples of triangular numbers which are triangular numbers. If the…

A square, upper-triangular matrix $U$ is a Cholesky root of a matrix $M$ provided $U^*U=M$, where $\cdot^*$ represents the conjugate transpose when working over the complex field and $U^*=U^T$ over the reals and finite fields. In this…

A square, upper-triangular matrix U is a Cholesky root of a matrix M provided U*U=M, where * represents the conjugate transpose. Over finite fields, as well as over the reals, it suffices for U^TU=M. In this paper, we investigate the number…

For a one-parameter family of lower triangular matrices with entries involving continuous $q$-ultraspherical polynomials we give an explicit lower triangular inverse matrix, with entries involving again continuous $q$-ultraspherical…

In this paper we give an algorithm to determine all finite matrix groups over a number field. Our algorithm is based on the representation theory of finite groups.

We prove that if $k$ is a positive integer then for every finite field $\mathbb{F}$ of cardinality $q\neq 2$ and for every positive integer $n$ such that $q^n>(k-1)^4$, every $n\times n$ matrix over $\mathbb{F}$ can be expressed as a sum of…

The goal of the paper is to give a complete description of the images of noncommutative polynomials with zero constant term on upper triangular matrix algebras over an algebraically closed field. This is a variation of the old and famous…

Solving the equation $P_a(X):=X^{q+1}+X+a=0$ over finite field $\GF{Q}$, where $Q=p^n, q=p^k$ and $p$ is a prime, arises in many different contexts including finite geometry, the inverse Galois problem \cite{ACZ2000}, the construction of…

Let $R$ be a 2-torsion free unital ring and $N_n=N_n(R)$ the ring of strictly upper triangular matrices with entries in $R$ and center $Z=Z(N_n)$. It has been previously shown that any linear map $f:N_n\rightarrow N_n$ satisfying the…

We consider the problem of characterizing upper-triangular matrices $M=\begin{pmatrix}p&r\\0&q\end{pmatrix}\in M_2(\mathbb Z)$ which can be represented in the form $A^2-B^2$ with upper-triangular integer matrices $A$ and $B$ and give a…

In the present paper we shall obtain a result on the image of polynomials with zero constant term on upper triangular matrix algebras over an algebraically closed field. This is a supplement to a result obtained by Panja and Prasad…

Let $n,\alpha\geq 2$. Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field with characteristic $0$ or greater than $n$. We show that the dimension of the variety of pairs $(A,B)\in {M_n(K)}^2$, with $B$ nilpotent, that satisfy $AB-BA=A^{\alpha}$ or…

In the present paper we shall investigate the Waring's problem for upper triangular matrix algebras. The main result is the following: Let $n\geq 2$ and $m\geq 1$ be integers. Let $p(x_1,\ldots,x_m)$ be a noncommutative polynomial with zero…

We study solutions of a quadratic matrix equation arising in Riemannian geometry. Let $S$ be a real symmetric $n\times n$-matrix with zeros on the diagonal and let $\theta$ be a real number. We construct nonzero solutions $(S,\theta)$ of…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field with $q$ elements, $f \in \mathbb{F}_q[x_1, \dots, x_n]$ a polynomial in $n$ variables and let us denote by $N(f)$ the number of roots of $f$ in $\mathbb{F}_q^n$. %Many authors, such as Wei Cao and Kung…

Several spectral radii formulas for infinite bounded nonnegative matrices in max algebra are obtained. We also prove some Perron-Frobenius type results for such matrices. In particular, we obtain results on block triangular forms, which are…

In this note, we give explicit expressions of Gauss sums for general (resp. special) linear groups over finite fields, which involves Gauss sums (resp. Kloosterman sums). The key ingredient is averaging such sums over Borel subgroups. As…
