Factorization to sparse matrices

$\newcommand{\lrank}{\operatorname{lrank}}$ $\newcommand{\rank}{\operatorname{rank}}$ Given a matrix $A$, we can define its Hamming weight, $w(A)$, as the number of non-zero elements in it. Now, given ...

Algebra of block matrices with scalar diagonals

I am interested in block matrices $A$, that is $A\in M_{n\times n}(R)$ where $R=M_{s\times s}(k)$ and $k$ is a field, such that for every positive integer $m$ the matrix $A^m$ has only scalar blocks ...

How to show that a continuous family of symmetric matrices is uniformly positive?

My problem : I have a family of $4 \times 4$ symmetric matrices. More precisely consider an interger $d$, a real $\lambda> 0$ and define the family $S_{\lambda}$: $ \{A(\lambda,x_1,x_2) ; (x_1,...

When does a matrix subspace contain a full rank matrix?

Cross-posted at Math SE Let $S\subseteq M_{n,m}(\mathbb{C})$ be a $d$-dimensional subspace of the space of $n\times m$ complex matrices (with $n\leq m$, say). I am interested in figuring out ...
