The max algebra consists of the nonnegative real numbers equipped with two binary operations, maximization and multiplication. We characterize the invertible linear operators that preserve the set of commuting pairs of matrices over a subalgebra of max algebra.
Some useful tools in modelling linear experiments with general multi-way classification of the random effects and some convenient forms of the covariance matrix and its inverse are presented. Moreover, the Sherman-Morrison-Woodbury formula is applied for inverting the covariance matrix in such experiments.
We aim to introduce generalized quaternions with dual-generalized complex number coefficients for all real values , and . Furthermore, the algebraic structures, properties and matrix forms are expressed as generalized quaternions and dual-generalized complex numbers. Finally, based on their matrix representations, the multiplication of these quaternions is restated and numerical examples are given.
We define a linear map called a semiinvolution as a generalization of an involution, and show that any nilpotent linear endomorphism is a product of an involution and a semiinvolution. We also give a new proof for Djocović’s theorem on a product of two involutions.
We collect certain useful lemmas concerning the characteristic map, -invariant sets of matrices, and the relative codimension. We provide a characterization of rank varieties in terms of the characteristic map as well as some necessary and some sufficient conditions for linear subspaces to allow the dominant restriction of the characteristic map.
Through tropical normal idempotent matrices, we introduce isocanted alcoved polytopes, computing their -vectors and checking the validity of the following five conjectures: Bárány, unimodality, , flag and cubical lower bound (CLBC). Isocanted alcoved polytopes are centrally symmetric, almost simple cubical polytopes. They are zonotopes. We show that, for each dimension, there is a unique combinatorial type. In dimension , an isocanted alcoved polytope has vertices, its face lattice is the lattice...
