Can this nonlinear vector equation be solved analytically?
I have the following vector equation:
$$
{\bf Ax} + {\bf b} + {\bf Cx}^{ \circ - 1} = {\bf 0}_n
$$
Where ${\bf x}$ is a vector of unknown variables. ${\bf b},{\bf x}, {\bf x}^{\circ - 1}, {\bf 0}_n ...

Gradient of QZ decomposition
Let $A$ and $B$ be an $m \times n$ matrix of rank $ k_1 \le \min(m,n) $ and $ k_2 \le \min(m,n) $. Then the QZ decomposition or the generalized Schur decomposition is $A = USV^T$ and $B = UTV^T $, ...

System of matrix equations
Problem definition: Let $x_i \in \mathbb{R}^d$ and $a_i \in [0,1]$, for all $i = 1,\dots, k$ (with $k\geq d$). Define $M(a) = \sum_{i = 1}^k a_i x_ix_i^T,$ and assume $M(a) \succ 0.$
Question: Is ...

Space of change of basis matrices between two similar matrices - how to reduce it with additional tests?
Assume we have two real symmetric $n\times n$ matrices: $A, B$. We can easily test their similarity: $\textrm{Tr}(A^k)=\textrm{Tr}(B^k)$ for $k=1..n$. In this case both can be rotated to the same ...

Identities for the determinant of a matrix similar to $\det(A)=\exp\circ\operatorname{tr}\circ\log(A)$ for different matrix functionals
The identity for the determinant of $A$ in the title is well know in matrix analysis and comes from the Jacobi's formula. I am interested in the existence of nontrivial formulas like this one (they do ...

What is the solution of the matrix equation $A X + X A' + B X B' + C = 0$ for $X$?
I know that the matrix equation $A X + X A' + C = 0$ is in the form of the time-continuous Lyapunov equation, so solving for $X$ is pretty trivial since the solution already and numeric solvers ...

A vanishing sum of symmetric matrices
Let $\{G_i\}_{i=1}^N\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times m}$ be a set of full column rank matrices (i.e., $\mathrm{rank}(G_i)=m$ for all $i$) and $\{P_i\}_{i=1}^N\in\mathbb{R}^{m\times m}$ be a set of positive ...

Finding lower triangular matrix of an indefinite matrix
So I have the system $M = RS = RQQ^{-1}S $ and I have $R$ and $S$ currently.
I impose some constraints on $R$ in the form of $r^T$$QQ^Tr = 1$ where $r$ and $r^T$ are rows of R and their transposes. ...
