1 Three Axioms for a Determinant Function Let d be a scalar-valued function on the space Mn×n of all n×n matrices. Let A1, A2, . . . , An be the n rows of an n×n matrix A. We will denote the value d(A) of A under the function d as d(A) = d(A1, A2, . . . , An), indicating that d is a scalar-valued function of n n-dimensional row vectors A1, A2, . . . , An. The scalar-valued function d is called ...

We study the problem of permuting each column of a given matrix to achieve minimum maximal row sum or maximum minimal row sum, a problem of interest in probability theory and quantitative finance where quantiles of a random variable expressed as the sum of several random variables with unknown dependence structure are estimated. If the minimum maximal row sum is equal to the maximum minimal row...

This research introduces a row compression and nested product decomposition of an n × n hierarchical representation of a rank structured matrix A, which extends the compression and nested product decomposition of a quasiseparable matrix. The hierarchical parameter extraction algorithm of a quasiseparable matrix is efficient, requiring only O(nlog(n)) operations, and is proven backward stable. T...

Let H be an m × n real matrix and let Zi be the set of column indices of the zero entries of row i of H. Then the conditions |Zk ∩ ∪k−1 i 1 Zi | ≤ 1 for all k 2 ≤ k ≤ m are called the row Zero Position Conditions ZPCs . If H satisfies the ZPC, then H is said to be a row ZPC matrix. If H satisfies the ZPC, thenH is said to be a column ZPCmatrix. The real matrixH is said to have a zero cycle if H...

As one can see, without several examples worked out with a pencil and paper, this formal definition is not very insightful. To understand where restricted patterns really originated from, we draw on visual imagery and replace “one-dimensional” permutations by “twodimensional” objects, matrices. In doing so, we shall violate the customary labeling of the top row as the “first” row of a matrix. I...

in this paper, a numerical method for nding minimal solution of a mn fullyfuzzy linear system of the form ax = b based on pseudo inverse calculation,is given when the central matrix of coecients is row full rank or column fullrank, and where a~ is a non-negative fuzzy mn matrix, the unknown vectorx is a vector consisting of n non-negative fuzzy numbers and the constant b isa vector consisti...

We consider the double-row (open) transfer matrix constructed from generic representations of various types of Hecke algebras. For different choices of boundary conditions for the relevant integrable lattice model we express the double-row transfer matrix solely in terms of generators of the corresponding Hecke algebra. We then expand the open transfer matrix and extract the associated Murphy e...

Geospatial data form the foundation of an information-based society. Cell-based raster data are well suited to represent geographic phenomena and help model landcover and landuse characteristics and relevant attributes. Information technologies capable of credible raster map analysis and change detection are needed for integrated regional assessment and development in the 21st Century equipped ...
