Linear fractional transformations and companion matrices
Let be the set of all real matrices. A matrix is said to be row-dense if there are no zeros between two nonzero entries for every row of this matrix. We find the structure of linear functions that preserve or strongly preserve row-dense matrices, i.e., is row-dense whenever is row-dense or is row-dense if and only if is row-dense, respectively. Similarly, a matrix is called a column-dense matrix if every column of is a column-dense vector. At the end, the structure of linear...
We prove that on , there is no n-supercyclic operator with 1 ≤ n < ⌊(N + 1)/2⌋, i.e. if has an n-dimensional subspace whose orbit under is dense in , then n is greater than ⌊(N + 1)/2⌋. Moreover, this value is optimal. We then consider the case of strongly n-supercyclic operators. An operator is strongly n-supercyclic if has an n-dimensional subspace whose orbit under T is dense in , the nth Grassmannian. We prove that strong n-supercyclicity does not occur non-trivially in finite...
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.
