Factorizable matrices

Miroslav Fiedler, Frank J. Hall (2013)

Special Matrices

We study square matrices which are products of simpler factors with the property that any ordering of the factors yields a matrix cospectral with the given matrix. The results generalize those obtained previously by the authors.

G-matrices, J -orthogonal matrices, and their sign patterns

Frank J. Hall, Miroslav Rozložník (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

A real matrix A is a G-matrix if A is nonsingular and there exist nonsingular diagonal matrices D 1 and D 2 such that A - T = D 1 A D 2 , where A - T denotes the transpose of the inverse of A . Denote by J = diag ( ± 1 ) a diagonal (signature) matrix, each of whose diagonal entries is + 1 or - 1 . A nonsingular real matrix Q is called J -orthogonal if Q T J Q = J . Many connections are established between these matrices. In particular, a matrix A is a G-matrix if and only if A is diagonally (with positive diagonals) equivalent to a column permutation of...

(Homogeneous) markovian bridges

Vincent Vigon (2011)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

(Homogeneous) Markov bridges are (time homogeneous) Markov chains which begin at a given point and end at a given point. The price to pay for preserving the homogeneity is to work with processes with a random life-span. Bridges are studied both for themselves and for their use in describing the transformations of Markov chains: restriction on a random interval, time reversal, time change, various conditionings comprising the confinement in some part of the state space. These bridges lead us to look...

Involutions and semiinvolutions

Hiroyuki Ishibashi (2006)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

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.
