The quaternionic determinant.
This note presents a new proof of an important result due to Bourgain and Tzafriri that provides a partial solution to the Kadison-Singer problem. The result shows that every unit-norm matrix whose entries are relatively small in comparison with its dimension can be paved by a partition of constant size. That is, the coordinates can be partitioned into a constant number of blocks so that the restriction of the matrix to each block of coordinates has norm less than one half. The original proof of...
We obtain optimal bounds of order O(n −1) for the rate of convergence to the semicircle law and to the Marchenko-Pastur law for the expected spectral distribution functions of random matrices from the GUE and LUE, respectively.
Suppose that is a real symmetric matrix of order . Denote by the nullity of . For a nonempty subset of , let be the principal submatrix of obtained from by deleting the rows and columns indexed by . When , we call a P-set of . It is known that every P-set of contains at most elements. The graphs of even order for which one can find a matrix attaining this bound are now completely characterized. However, the odd case turned out to be more difficult to tackle. As a first step...
The reciprocal super Catalan matrix has entries [...] . Explicit formulæ for its LU-decomposition, the LU-decomposition of its inverse, and some related matrices are obtained. For all results, q-analogues are also presented.
An complex matrix is called Re-nonnegative definite (Re-nnd) if the real part of is nonnegative for every complex -vector . In this paper criteria for a partitioned matrix to be Re-nnd are given. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of and an expression for the Re-nnd solutions of the matrix equation are presented.
