We derive a general formula for the quadratic embedding constant of a graph join , where is the empty graph on vertices and G is an arbitrary graph. Applying our formula to a fan graph , where is the singleton graph and is the path on vertices, we show that , where is the minimal zero of a new polynomial related to Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind. Moreover, for an even n we have , where the right-hand side is the minimal eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of . For an odd n we show that .

Kemeny's constant measures how fast a random walker moves around in a graph. Expressions for Kemeny's constant can be quite involved, and for this reason, many lines of research focus on graphs with structure that makes them amenable to more in-depth study (for example, regular graphs, acyclic graphs, and 1-connected graphs). In this article, we study Kemeny's constant for random walks on threshold graphs, which are an interesting family of graphs with properties that make examining Kemeny's constant difficult; that is, they are usually not regular, not acyclic, and not 1-connected. This article is a showcase of various techniques for calculating Kemeny's constant and related random walk parameters for graphs. We establish explicit formulae for in terms of the construction code of a threshold graph, and completely determine the ordering of the accessibility indices of vertices in threshold graphs.

The symmetric doubly stochastic inverse eigenvalue problem seeks to determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for a real list of eigenvalues to be realized by a symmetric doubly stochastic matrix. Nader et al. (2019) [15], established that for odd integers n a list of the form with for cannot be the spectrum of any doubly stochastic matrix. This implies that the list is also unrealizable.
This paper extends these findings by proving that for odd n and , the list cannot be the spectrum of a symmetric doubly stochastic matrix. We demonstrate that for odd n the list , is indeed realizable as the spectrum of a symmetric doubly stochastic matrix.
Furthermore, we utilize our methodology to derive new sufficient conditions for the existence of symmetric doubly stochastic matrices with a prescribed list of eigenvalues. This leads to a condition for the existence of symmetric doubly stochastic matrices with a normalized Suleimanova spectrum. The paper concludes with additional partial results and illustrative examples.

The current study investigates the asymptotic spectral properties of a finite difference approximation of nonlocal Helmholtz equations with a fractional Laplacian and a variable coefficient wave number μ, as it occurs when considering a wave propagation in complex media, characterized by nonlocal interactions and spatially varying wave speeds. More specifically, by using tools from Toeplitz and generalized locally Toeplitz theory, the present research delves into the spectral analysis of nonpreconditioned and preconditioned matrix sequences, with the main novelty regarding a complete picture of the case where is nonconstant. We report numerical evidence supporting the theoretical findings. Finally, open problems and potential extensions in various directions are presented and briefly discussed.

This work explores the ratios of products of determinants of principal submatrices of positive definite matrices. We investigate conditions under which these ratios are bounded, particularly revisiting the necessary/sufficient conditions proposed by Johnson and Barrett. This analysis extends to set-theoretic consequences and unboundedness of certain ratios. We also demonstrate how these conditions can be used to prove the boundedness of several known determinantal inequalities. Additionally, we address the optimization problem of finding the supremum of such ratios over all positive definite matrices, formulating it as a linear optimization program. Finally, for completeness, we include the proofs of theorems that appear to have been previously known but lack accessible proofs.

Let be the matrix multiplication tensor. The solution set of Brent equations corresponds to the tensor decompositions of . We study the local dimensions of solutions of the Brent equations over the field of complex numbers. The rank of Jacobian matrix of Brent equations provides an upper bound of the local dimension, which is well-known. We calculate the ranks for some typical known solutions, which are provided in the databases [16] and [17]. We show that the automorphism group of the natural algorithm computing is , where , and are groups of generalized permutation matrices, is a subgroup of depending on m, n and p. For other algorithms computing , some conditions are given, which imply the corresponding automorphism groups are isomorphic to subgroups of . So under these conditions, is a lower bound for the local dimensions of solutions of Brent equations. Moreover, the gap between the lower and upper bounds is discussed.
