Almost triangular matrices over Dedekind domains.
Suppose that is an nonnegative matrix whose eigenvalues are . Fiedler and others have shown that , for all , with equality for any such if and only if is the simple cycle matrix. Let be the signed sum of the determinants of the principal submatrices of of order , . We use similar techniques to Fiedler to show that Fiedler’s inequality can be strengthened to: , for all . We use this inequality to derive the inequality that: . In the spirit of a celebrated conjecture due to Boyle-Handelman,...
The paper presents an iterative algorithm for computing the maximum cycle mean (or eigenvalue) of triangular Toeplitz matrix in max-plus algebra. The problem is solved by an iterative algorithm which is applied to special cycles. These cycles of triangular Toeplitz matrices are characterized by sub-partitions of .
We survey recent developments in operator theory and moment problems, beginning with the study of quadratic hyponormality for unilateral weighted shifts, its connections with truncated Hamburger, Stieltjes, Hausdorff and Toeplitz moment problems, and the subsequent proof that polynomially hyponormal operators need not be subnormal. We present a general elementary approach to truncated moment problems in one or several real or complex variables, based on matrix positivity and extension. Together...
