The Fourier Transform of taking Eigenvalues
The purpose of this question is to ask about the Fourier transform of the map which associate to an $n$ by $n$ matrix its $n$ eigenvalues, or some function of the $n$ eigenvalues. The main motivation ...

Number of invertible {0,1} real matrices?
This question is inspired from here, where it was asked what possible determinants an $n \times n$ matrix with entries in {0,1} can have over $\mathbb{R}$.
My question is: how many such matrices ...

A simple proof for a theorem of Szekeres and Turán
Szekeres and Turán found in 1937 a formula for the sum of the squares and the sum of the fourth powers of determinants of all $n$ by $n$ matrices with $\pm 1$ entries. (The sum of squares case follows ...

Quantum coupon collection: positivity of an alternating sum of matrices
It is well-known that in the classic coupon collecting problem (CCP), the expected waiting time is
\begin{equation*}
T_n(x_1,\ldots,x_n) = \sum_{k=1}^n (-1)^{k+1}\sum_{1\le i_1 < \cdots < i_k \...

Average number of elements of a subset S of a matrix A after inducing the rows and columns of m randomly selected elements from subset S
Let $A_{N{\times}N}$ be an $N{\times}N$ matrix and $\mathcal{S_{k}}$ be a subset of elements in $A$ such that exactly $k$ elements from every row and column in $A$ are in $\mathcal{S_{k}}$. Thus, $\...

Probability that random Bernoulli matrix is full rank
This is probably known already, but I could not find a quick argument.
Let $M$ be an $n\times m$ binary matrix with iid Bernoulli$(1/2)$ entries, and $n>m$. Tikhomirov recently settled that the ...

On rank of random $0/1$ matrices
It is known that a $0/1$ matrix picked from uniform distribution from $\{0,1\}^{n\times n}$ is non-singular with probability $1-o(1)$.
Fix an integer $t$.
Consider a random matrix formed the ...

Number of ways to place 4 kings on nxn chessboard
I have a $n\times n$ chessboard and 4 kings inside it. My goal is to count the number of arrangements where some of them are non-attacking or mutually attacking, for example:
In the case where the $4$...

On full rank submatrices of a construction
Take two matrices $T_1$ and $T_2$ in $\mathbb Z^{n\times n}$ with entries uniformly in $[-b,b]\cap\mathbb Z$ at some $b>0$. The matrices will be of rank $n$ each with probability at least $1-\frac1{...
