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.
Some useful tools in modelling linear experiments with general multi-way classification of the random effects and some convenient forms of the covariance matrix and its inverse are presented. Moreover, the Sherman-Morrison-Woodbury formula is applied for inverting the covariance matrix in such experiments.
We aim to introduce generalized quaternions with dual-generalized complex number coefficients for all real values , and . Furthermore, the algebraic structures, properties and matrix forms are expressed as generalized quaternions and dual-generalized complex numbers. Finally, based on their matrix representations, the multiplication of these quaternions is restated and numerical examples are given.
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.
In this study various Jacobians of transformations of singular random matrices are found. An alternative proof of Uhlig's first conjecture (Uhlig (1994)) is proposed. Furthermore, we propose various extensions of this conjecture under different singularities. Finally, an application of the theory of singular distributions is discussed.
We describe an approach to the unitary Weingarten function based on the JM elements of symmetric group algebras. When combined with previously known properties of the Weingarten function, this gives a surprising connection with the Moebius function of the lattice of noncrossing partitions.
