Divisibility properties of minors of matrices

Let $A$ be an $m\times n$ matrix with integer entries. Let $d_i(A)$ be the greatest common divisor of all $i\times i$ minors of $A$, and define $d_0(A)=1$. Whenever $i\leq j$, one has that $d_i(A)$ ...

Bessel in matrix?

Let $M_n$ be the matrix $$M_n=\begin{pmatrix} 1&\binom{1}{1}\binom{1-1}{1-1} &0 &0\qquad \qquad \dots &0\\ 1&\binom{2}{1}\binom{2-1}{1-1} &\binom{2}{2}\binom{2-1}{2-1} &0 \...

Roots of determinant of matrix with polynomial entries — a generalization

For $1 \le i, j \le k$, consider $\rho_{ij}$ which are equal to either zero or one such that $\rho_{ii}=1$ and $\rho_{ij}=0$ if and only if $\rho_{ji}=0$. How to find the zeros of the determinant of ...

An (open?) problem about a sequence of nested principal sub-matrices and their determinants

Problem: Let $A$ be a $n \times n$ integer matrix, $\det(A) = \pm 1$. Under which conditions there exist a nested sequence of principal submatrices of size $n$ such that they all have determinant $\pm ...

Non-trivial ways for generating matrices $A$ for which $A + A^T$ is positive-definite?

Disclaimer: This might be an SE question, but I'm not quite sure... Thanks in advance! Setup So, it is known (see Proposition 5.2) that if $A + A^T$ is positive-definite then $A$ must be a $P$-...
