Positivity in Complex Spaces and Its Application to Gershgorin Discs.
Let be the semiring of all nonnegative integers and an matrix over . The rank of is the smallest such that can be factored as an matrix times a matrix. The isolation number of is the maximum number of nonzero entries in such that no two are in any row or any column, and no two are in a submatrix of all nonzero entries. We have that the isolation number of is a lower bound of the rank of . For with isolation number , we investigate the possible values of the rank of ...
The paper gives a new characterization of eigenprojections, which is then used to obtain a spectral decomposition for the power bounded and exponentially bounded matrices. The applications include series and integral representations of the Drazin inverse, and investigation of the asymptotic behaviour of the solutions of singular and singularly perturbed differential equations. An example is given of localized travelling waves for a system of conservation laws.
The power index of a square Boolean matrix A is the least integer d such that Ad is a linear combination of previous nonnegative powers of A. We determine the maximum power indices for the class of n×n primitive symmetric Boolean matrices of trace zero, the class of n×n irreducible nonprimitive symmetric Boolean matrices, and the class of n×n reducible symmetric Boolean matrices of trace zero, and characterize the extreme matrices respectively.
We study continuous maps on alternate matrices over complex field which preserve zeros of Lie product.
