Abstract. By using cutting strips and transformations on outside decompositions of a skew diagram, we show that the Giambelli-type matrices for a given skew Schur function are stably equivalent to each other over symmetric functions. As a consequence, the Jacobi-Trudi matrix and the transpose of the dual Jacobi-Trudi matrix are stably equivalent over symmetric functions. This leads to an affirm...

A new implicitly-restarted Krylov subspace method for real symmetric/skew-symme– tric generalized eigenvalue problems is presented. The new method improves and generalizes the SHIRA method of [37] to the case where the skew symmetric matrix is singular. It computes a few eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the matrix pencil close to a given target point. Several applications from control theory are...

This paper shows that Cayley Transforms, which map Orthogonal and SkewSymmetric matrices, may be considered the extension to matrix field of the complex conformal mapping function f1(z) = 1− z 1 + x . Then, by using a set of real matrices which are, simultaneously, Orthogonal and Symmetric (the Ortho−Sym matrices), it similarly shows how to extend two complex conformal mapping functions (namely...

The set of all solutions to the homogeneous system of matrix equations (XA + AX,XB +BX) = (0,0), where (A,B) is a pair of symmetric matrices of the same size, is characterized. In addition, the codimension of the orbit of (A,B) under congruence is calculated. This paper is a natural continuation of the article [A. Dmytryshyn, B. K̊agström, and V.V. Sergeichuk. Skew-symmetric matrix pencils: Codi...

Many social phenomena involve a set of dyadic relations among agents whose actions may be dependent. Although individualistic approaches have frequently been applied to analyze social processes, these are not generally concerned with dyadic relations, nor do they deal with dependency. This article describes a mathematical procedure for analyzing dyadic interactions in a social system. The propo...
