On powers of non-negative matrices
We disprove a conjecture made by Rajesh Pereira and Joanna Boneng regarding the upper bound on the number of doubly quasi-stochastic scalings of an n × n positive definite matrix. In doing so, we arrive at the true upper bound for 3 × 3 real matrices, and demonstrate that there is no such bound when n ≥ 4.
Recently, Wang (2017) has introduced the -nonnegative double splitting using the notion of matrices that leave a cone invariant and studied its convergence theory by generalizing the corresponding results for the nonnegative double splitting by Song and Song (2011). However, the convergence theory for -weak regular and -nonnegative double splittings of type II is not yet studied. In this article, we first introduce this class of splittings and then discuss the convergence theory for these sub-classes...
A matrix generalization of Kronecker's lemma is presented with assumptions that make it possible not only the unboundedness of the condition number considered by Anderson and Moore (1976) but also other sequences of real matrices, not necessarily monotone increasing, symmetric and nonnegative definite. A useful matrix decomposition and a well-known equivalent result about convergent series are used in this generalization.
Given a real n×n matrix A, we make some conjectures and prove partial results about the range of the function that maps the n-tuple x into the entrywise kth power of the n-tuple Ax. This is of interest in the study of the Jacobian Conjecture.
