Minimal number of linearly dependent rank-1 projectors

What is the minimal number of linearly dependent rank-1 projectors $\vec v \vec v^t$ in dimension n, under the condition that every set of n column vectors $\vec v$ is linearly independent. PS: the ...

Rank of Hadamard product of column-wise polynomial evaluations and row-wise exponential evaluations

Consider the Hadamard product $A \odot B$ between two special matrices $A,B \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times m}$. The columns of $A$ are evaluations of polynomials, while the rows of $B$ are evaluations of ...

Why do these polynomials split almost in the middle?

Start with a palindromic sequence of integers $(a_0, a_1, \ldots, a_{n+1})$, i.e. $a_j=a_{n+1-j}$, and put $a_j:=0$ for $j<0$ and $j>n+1$. You may readily guess that the choice of the binomial ...

Multiplicative identity of determinant of multiplicative action of a polynomial on a quotient ring (companion matrices)

Let $A$ be a commutative ring with $f,g\in A[x]$ monics. Consider the $A$-linear endomorphism $\mu_g^{(f)}\in \mathrm{End}_A\tfrac{A[x]}{\langle f\rangle}$ given by multiplication by $g$. For monics $...

The determinant of a $4\times4$ matrix associated to some specific polynomial as follow

Let $f\in \mathbb{R}[x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4]$ defined by $$f_a(x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4)=\prod_{1\leqslant i<j\leqslant4}(x_i-x_j)^{2a_{ij}}$$ where $a=(a_{12},a_{13},a_{14},a_{23},a_{24},a_{34})\in \mathbb{N}^6$. ...

Boundary of pseudospectra

Suppose: $B_i \in \mathbb{C}^{n \times n}$, $0<w_i\in \mathbb{R}$ $(i = 0,1,2,\ldots,m)$ ${\rm P}(x) ={\rm{B}_m} x ^m + \cdots + B_1 x + B_0$ is a matrix polynomial, and $x $ is a complex ...
