Conjugacy and factorization results on matrix groups

Thomas Laffey (1994)

Banach Center Publications

In this survey paper, we present (mainly without proof) a number of results on conjugacy and factorization in general linear groups over fields and commutative rings. We also present the additive analogue in matrix rings of some of these results. The first section deals with the question of expressing elements in the commutator subgroup of the general linear group over a field as (simple) commutators. In Section 2, the same kind of problem is discussed for the general linear group over a commutative...

Determinant Representations of Sequences: A Survey

A. R. Moghaddamfar, S. Navid Salehy, S. Nima Salehy (2014)

Special Matrices

This is a survey of recent results concerning (integer) matrices whose leading principal minors are well-known sequences such as Fibonacci, Lucas, Jacobsthal and Pell (sub)sequences. There are different ways for constructing such matrices. Some of these matrices are constructed by homogeneous or nonhomogeneous recurrence relations, and others are constructed by convolution of two sequences. In this article, we will illustrate the idea of these methods by constructing some integer matrices of this...

Evaluation of divisor functions of matrices

Gautami Bhowmik (1996)

Acta Arithmetica

1. Introduction. The study of divisor functions of matrices arose legitimately in the context of arithmetic of matrices, and the question of the number of (possibly weighted) inequivalent factorizations of an integer matrix was asked. However, till now only partial answers were available. Nanda [6] evaluated the case of prime matrices and Narang [7] gave an evaluation for 2×2 matrices. We obtained a recursion in the size of the matrices and the weights of the divisors [1,2] which helped us obtain...

Factorization of matrices associated with classes of arithmetical functions

Shaofang Hong (2003)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let f be an arithmetical function. A set S = x₁,..., xₙ of n distinct positive integers is called multiple closed if y ∈ S whenever x|y|lcm(S) for any x ∈ S, where lcm(S) is the least common multiple of all elements in S. We show that for any multiple closed set S and for any divisor chain S (i.e. x₁|...|xₙ), if f is a completely multiplicative function such that (f*μ)(d) is a nonzero integer whenever d|lcm(S), then the matrix ( f ( x i , x i ) ) having f evaluated at the greatest common divisor ( x i , x i ) of x i and x i as its...

Fermat's Equation in Matrices

Khazanov, Alex (1995)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

The Fermat equation is solved in integral two by two matrices of determinant one as well as in finite order integral three by three matrices.

Generalized indices of Boolean matrices

Bo Zhou (2002)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We obtain upper bounds for generalized indices of matrices in the class of nearly reducible Boolean matrices and in the class of critically reducible Boolean matrices, and prove that these bounds are the best possible.
