Constructing copositive matrices from interior matrices.
Let be a finite subset of a partially ordered set . Let be an incidence function of . Let denote the matrix having evaluated at the meet of and as its -entry and denote the matrix having evaluated at the join of and as its -entry. The set is said to be meet-closed if for all . In this paper we get explicit combinatorial formulas for the determinants of matrices and on any meet-closed set . We also obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the matrices...
In this paper, the eigenvalue distribution of complex matrices with certain ray patterns is investigated. Cyclically real ray patterns and ray patterns that are signature similar to real sign patterns are characterized, and their eigenvalue distribution is discussed. Among other results, the following classes of ray patterns are characterized: ray patterns that require eigenvalues along a fixed line in the complex plane, ray patterns that require eigenvalues symmetric about a fixed line, and ray...
We give explicit expressions for the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of some tridiagonal matrices with non-constant diagonal entries. Our techniques are based on the theory of recurrent sequences.
We use elementary triangular matrices to obtain some factorization, multiplication, and inversion properties of triangular matrices. We also obtain explicit expressions for the inverses of strict k-Hessenberg matrices and banded matrices. Our results can be extended to the cases of block triangular and block Hessenberg matrices. An n × n lower triangular matrix is called elementary if it is of the form I + C, where I is the identity matrix and C is lower triangular and has all of its nonzero entries...
A complex square matrix A is called an orthogonal projector if A 2 = A = A*, where A* denotes the conjugate transpose of A. In this paper, we give a comprehensive investigation to matrix expressions consisting of orthogonal projectors and their properties through ranks of matrices. We first collect some well-known rank formulas for orthogonal projectors and their operations, and then establish various new rank formulas for matrix expressions composed by orthogonal projectors. As applications, we...
