Non-Homogeneous Markov Chains: Tail Idempotents, Tail Sigma-Fields and Basis.
We show using non-intersecting paths, that a random rhombus tiling of a hexagon, or a boxed planar partition, is described by a determinantal point process given by an extended Hahn kernel.
A nonnegative definite hermitian m × m matrix A≠0 has increasing principal minors if det A[I] ≤ det A[J] for I⊂J, where det A[I] is the principal minor of A based on rows and columns in the set I ⊆ {1,...,m}. For m > 1 we show A has increasing principal minors if and only if A−1 exists and its diagonal entries are less or equal to 1.
New proofs of two previously published theorems relating nonsingularity of interval matrices to -matrices are given.
For a real square matrix and an integer , let denote the matrix formed from by rounding off all its coefficients to decimal places. The main problem handled in this paper is the following: assuming that has some property, under what additional condition(s) can we be sure that the original matrix possesses the same property? Three properties are investigated: nonsingularity, positive definiteness, and positive invertibility. In all three cases it is shown that there exists a real number...
Some quadratic forms related to "greatest common divisor matrices" are represented in terms of L²-norms of rather simple functions. Our formula is especially useful when the size of the matrix grows, and we will study the asymptotic behaviour of the smallest and largest eigenvalues. Indeed, a sharp bound in terms of the zeta function is obtained. Our leading example is a hybrid between Hilbert's matrix and Smith's matrix.
Let be an associative unital ring and let be a strongly nil clean element. We introduce a new idea for examining the properties of these elements. This approach allows us to generalize some results on nil clean and strongly nil clean rings. Also, using this technique many previous proofs can be significantly shortened. Some shorter proofs concerning nil clean elements in rings in general, and in matrix rings in particular, are presented, together with some generalizations of these results.
Complementing the work of Baksalary and Trenkler [2], we announce some results characterizing the core matrix partial ordering.
