Letr Σn(C) denote the space of all n χ n symmetric matrices over the complex field C. The main objective of this paper is to prove that the maps Φ : Σn(C) -> Σn (C) satisfying for any fixed irre- ducible characters X, X' -SC the condition dx(A +aB) = dχ·(Φ(Α ) + αΦ(Β)) for all matrices A,В ε Σ„(С) and all scalars a ε C are automatically linear and bijective. As a corollary of the above result we characterize all such maps Φ acting on ΣИ(С).

In this paper, the concepts of indecomposable matrices and fully indecomposable matrices over a distributive lattice $L$ are introduced, and some algebraic properties of them are obtained. Also, some characterizations of the set $F_n\left(L\right)$ of all $n\times n$ fully indecomposable matrices as a subsemigroup of the semigroup $H_n\left(L\right)$ of all $n\times n$ Hall matrices over the lattice $L$ are given.

It is shown that the asymptotic stability of positive 2D linear systems with delays is independent of the number and values of the delays and it depends only on the sum of the system matrices, and that the checking of the asymptotic stability of positive 2D linear systems with delays can be reduced to testing that of the corresponding positive 1D systems without delays. The effectiveness of the proposed approaches is demonstrated on numerical examples.

Let S be a given set consisting of some Hermitian matrices with the same size. We say that a matrix A ∈ S is maximal if A − W is positive semidefinite for every matrix W ∈ S. In this paper, we consider the maximal and minimal inertias and ranks of the Hermitian matrix function f(X,Y) = P − QXQ* − TYT*, where * means the conjugate and transpose of a matrix, P = P*, Q, T are known matrices and for X and Y Hermitian solutions to the consistent matrix equations AX =B and YC = D respectively. As applications,...

In this note, we construct some integer matrices with determinant equal to certain summation form of Liouville's function. Hence, it offers a possible alternative way to explore the Prime Number Theorem by means of inequalities related to matrices, provided a better estimate on the relation between the determinant of a matrix and other information such as its eigenvalues is known. Besides, we also provide some comparisons on the estimate of the lower bound of the smallest singular value. Such discussion...

We give integral representations for multiple Hermite and multiple Laguerre polynomials of both type I and II. We also show how these are connected with double integral representations of certain kernels from random matrix theory.

We consider the problem of reconstructing an $n\times n$ cell matrix $D\left(\overrightarrow{x}\right)$ constructed from a vector $\overrightarrow{x}=(x_1,x_2,\cdots ,x_n)$ of positive real numbers, from a given set of spectral data. In addition, we show that the spectra of cell matrices $D\left(\overrightarrow{x}\right)$ and $D\left(\pi \left(\overrightarrow{x}\right)\right)$ are the same for every permutation $\pi \in S_n$.

Cet article présente trois résultats distincts. Dans une première partie nous donnons l’asymptotique quand $N$ tend vers l’infini des coefficients des polynômes orthogonaux de degré $N$ associés au poids ${\varphi }_{\alpha }\left(\theta \right)={|1-e^{i\theta }|}^{2\alpha }{f}_1\left(e^{i\theta }\right)$, où $f_1$ est une fonction strictement positive suffisamment régulière et $\alpha \>\frac{1}{2},\alpha \in ℝ\setminus \mathbb{N}$. Nous en déduisons l’asymptotique des éléments de l’inverse de la matrice de Toeplitz $T_N\left({\varphi }_{\alpha }\right)$ au moyen d’un noyau intégral $G_{\alpha }.$ Nous prolongeons ensuite un résultat de A. Böttcher et H. Windom relatif à l’asymptotique de la valeur propre...

The max algebra consists of the nonnegative real numbers equipped with two binary operations, maximization and multiplication. We characterize the invertible linear operators that preserve the set of commuting pairs of matrices over a subalgebra of max algebra.
