On a generalization of the Van Der Waerden conjecture
Let A be an n×n irreducible nonnegative (elementwise) matrix. Borobia and Moro raised the following question: Suppose that every diagonal of A contains a positive entry. Is A similar to a positive matrix? We give an affirmative answer in the case n = 4.
In this paper, we prove a result linking the square and the rectangular R-transforms, the consequence of which is a surprising relation between the square and rectangular versions the free additive convolutions, involving the Marchenko–Pastur law. Consequences on random matrices, on infinite divisibility and on the arithmetics of the square versions of the free additive and multiplicative convolutions are given.
In this paper, we shall deal with the solvability of interval systems of linear equations in max-plus algebra. Max-plus algebra is an algebraic structure in which classical addition and multiplication are replaced by and , where , . The notation represents an interval system of linear equations, where and are given interval matrix and interval vector, respectively. We can define several types of solvability of interval systems. In this paper, we define the T4 solvability and give an algorithm...
