Results of invertibility of a matrix involving the Szego kernel

In the context of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, the Szego kernel is the function $k(z_i,z_j)=\frac{1}{1-z_j\overline{z_j}}$. Given $2n$ points $\{z_1,\ldots,z_n\},\{w_1,\ldots,w_n\}\in\mathbb{D}\...

Condition on the probabilities for the $J\times J$ matrix $[ \Pr(X=j \mid Y=k) ]$ to be invertible

$\DeclareMathOperator\Pr{P}\newcommand\cPr[2]{\Pr(#1 \mid #2)}$I have a $J \times J$ matrix: $$ M:= \begin{bmatrix} \cPr{X=1}{Y=1} & \cPr{X=2}{Y = 1} & \cdots & \cPr{X=J}{Y = 1} \\ \cPr{X=...

Existence of matrices with some invertibility properties

Prove that there exists five matrices $B_i \in \mathbb{F}_2^{5\times 10}$, $i\in \{1,2,3,4,5\}$, such that any two $B_i$'s form an invertible matrix in $\mathbb{F}_2^{10\times 10}$. I am interested ...

minimum-maximum entries matrix

Let $M(n)$ be an $n\times n$ matrix in the variables $x_1,\dots,x_n$ with entries $$M_{i,j}(n)=\frac{x_{\max(i,j)}}{x_{\min(i,j)}}, \qquad 1\leq i,j\leq n.$$ I'm interested in the following: ...

Find inverse and determinant of a symmetric matrix - for a maximum-likelihood estimation

Evaluate the determinant $\det \Omega $ and find the inverse matrix $\Omega^{-1}$ of: $$\Omega = \begin{bmatrix} \beta_1^2(1+\theta_1^2) & \beta_1 \beta_2 & ... & \beta_1 \beta_{k-1} &...

Derivative of log determinant and inverse

I have a matrix $\Sigma$ with element $(i,j)$ $$\Sigma_{i,j}= \exp(-h_{i,j}\rho).$$ The matrix is positive definite and symmetric (it is a covariance matrix). Now I need to evaluate $$\frac{\...

Questions on Toeplitz matrices: invertibility, determinant, positive-definiteness

These questions are probably very basic but I'll dare to ask them anyway since I didn't have much luck in Math Stack Exchange. Let $A$ be an $n \times n$ Hermitian Toeplitz matrix: $$A = \begin{...
