In network topology discovery, it is often necessary to collect measurements between network elements without injecting large amounts of traffic into the network. A possible solution to this problem is to actively query the network for some measurements and use these to infer the remaining ones. We frame this as a particular version of the Noisy Matrix Completion problem where the entries refle...

In this paper we use the Gray code representation of the genetic code C=00, U=10, G=11 and A=01 (C pairs with G, A pairs with U) to generate a sequence of genetic code-based matrices. In connection with these code-based matrices, we use the Hamming distance to generate a sequence of numerical matrices. We then further investigate the properties of the numerical matrices and show that they are d...

The least upper bound for the norm distance between two normal matrices is given in terms of their eigenvalues exclusively, thus solving a problem which appears to be long open.

In this paper, the notion of equitable partitions (EP) is used to study the eigenvalues of Euclidean distance matrices (EDMs). In particular, EP is used to obtain the characteristic polynomials of regular EDMs and non-spherical centrally symmetric EDMs. The paper also presents methods for constructing cospectral EDMs and EDMs with exactly three distinct eigenvalues. Mathematical subject classif...

Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) is a classic technique that seeks vectorial representations for data points, given the pairwise distances between them. However, in recent years, data are usually collected from diverse sources or have multiple heterogeneous representations. How to do multidimensional scaling on multiple input distance matrices is still unsolved to our best knowledge. In this pape...
