On the cardinality of complex matrix scalings

George Hutchinson (2016)

Special Matrices

Similarity:

We disprove a conjecture made by Rajesh Pereira and Joanna Boneng regarding the upper bound on the number of doubly quasi-stochastic scalings of an n × n positive definite matrix. In doing so, we arrive at the true upper bound for 3 × 3 real matrices, and demonstrate that there is no such bound when n ≥ 4.

Pentadiagonal Companion Matrices

Brydon Eastman, Kevin N. Vander Meulen (2016)

Special Matrices

Similarity:

The class of sparse companion matrices was recently characterized in terms of unit Hessenberg matrices. We determine which sparse companion matrices have the lowest bandwidth, that is, we characterize which sparse companion matrices are permutationally similar to a pentadiagonal matrix and describe how to find the permutation involved. In the process, we determine which of the Fiedler companion matrices are permutationally similar to a pentadiagonal matrix. We also describe how to find...

Zero-one completely positive matrices and the A(R, S) classes

G. Dahl, T. A. Haufmann (2016)

Special Matrices

Similarity:

A matrix of the form A = BBT where B is nonnegative is called completely positive (CP). Berman and Xu (2005) investigated a subclass of CP-matrices, called f0, 1g-completely positive matrices. We introduce a related concept and show connections between the two notions. An important relation to the so-called cut cone is established. Some results are shown for f0, 1g-completely positive matrices with given graphs, and for {0,1}-completely positive matrices constructed from the classes...

Elementary triangular matrices and inverses of k-Hessenberg and triangular matrices

Luis Verde-Star (2015)

Special Matrices

Similarity:

We use elementary triangular matrices to obtain some factorization, multiplication, and inversion properties of triangular matrices. We also obtain explicit expressions for the inverses of strict k-Hessenberg matrices and banded matrices. Our results can be extended to the cases of block triangular and block Hessenberg matrices. An n × n lower triangular matrix is called elementary if it is of the form I + C, where I is the identity matrix and C is lower triangular and has all of its...

Condition numbers of Hessenberg companion matrices

Michael Cox, Kevin N. Vander Meulen, Adam Van Tuyl, Joseph Voskamp (2024)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

The Fiedler matrices are a large class of companion matrices that include the well-known Frobenius companion matrix. The Fiedler matrices are part of a larger class of companion matrices that can be characterized by a Hessenberg form. We demonstrate that the Hessenberg form of the Fiedler companion matrices provides a straight-forward way to compare the condition numbers of these matrices. We also show that there are other companion matrices which can provide a much smaller condition...
