Abstract Recently, the extremal problem of the spectral radius in the class of complements of trees, unicyclic graphs, bicyclic graphs and tricyclic graphs had been studied widely. In this paper, we extend the largest ordering of Aα -spectral radius among all complements of bicyclic and tricyclic graphs with n vertices, respectively.

Abstract Over commutative domains we characterize the singular 2 × 2 matrices which are products of two idempotents or products of two nilpotents. The relevant casees are the matrices with zero second row and the singular matrices with only nonzero entries.

Abstract In this paper, we consider a new Sylvester-Kac matrix, i.e., Fibonacci-Sylvester-Kac matrix. We discuss the eigenvalues, eigenvectors and characteristic polynomial of this matrix in two categories based on whether the Fibonacci-Sylvester-Kac matrix order is odd or even. Besides, we also give the explicit formulas for its determinant and inverse.

Abstract In this short note, we define an s × s matrix Ks constructed from the Hilbert matrix Hs=(1i+j-1)i,j=1s{H_s} = left( {{1 over {i + j - 1}}} right)_{i,j = 1}^s and prove that it has at least one pair of complex eigenvalues when s ≥ 2. Ks is a matrix related to the AVF collocation method, which is an energy-preserving/dissipative numerical method for ordinary differential equations, and our result gives a matrix-theoretical proof that the method does not have large-grain parallelism when its order is larger than or equal to 4.

Abstract The eccentricity matrix ɛ(G) of a graph G is obtained from the distance matrix of G by retaining the largest distances in each row and each column, and leaving zeros in the remaining ones. The eccentricity energy of G is sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of ɛ(G). Although the eccentricity matrices of graphs are closely related to the distance matrices of graphs, a number of properties of eccentricity matrices are substantially different from those of the distance matrices. The change in eccentricity energy of a graph due to an edge deletion is one such property. In this article, we give examples of graphs for which the eccentricity energy increase (resp., decrease) but the distance energy decrease (resp., increase) due to an edge deletion. Also, we prove that the eccentricity energy of the complete k-partite graph Kn1,...,nk with k ≥ 2 and ni ≥ 2, increases due to an edge deletion.

Abstract The enhanced principal rank characteristic sequence (epr-sequence) of a symmetric matrix B ∈ 𝔽n×n is defined as ℓ1ℓ2· · · ℓn, where ℓj ∈ {A, S, N} according to whether all, some but not all, or none of the principal minors of order j of B are nonzero. Building upon the second author’s recent classification of the epr-sequences of symmetric matrices over the field 𝔽 = 𝔽2, we initiate a study of the case 𝔽= 𝔽3. Moreover, epr-sequences over finite fields are shown to have connections to Ramsey theory and coding theory.

Abstract This paper presents the explicit inverse of a class of seven-diagonal (near) Toeplitz matrices, which arises in the numerical solutions of nonlinear fourth-order differential equation with a finite difference method. A non-recurrence explicit inverse formula is derived using the Sherman-Morrison formula. Related to the fixed-point iteration used to solve the differential equation, we show the positivity of the inverse matrix and construct an upper bound for the norms of the inverse matrix, which can be used to predict the convergence of the method.

Abstract We address the issue of establishing standard forms for nonnegative and Metzler matrices by considering their similarity to nonnegative and Metzler Hessenberg matrices. It is shown that for dimensions n 3, there always exists a subset of nonnegative matrices that are not similar to a nonnegative Hessenberg form, which in case of n = 3 also provides a complete characterization of all such matrices. For Metzler matrices, we further establish that they are similar to Metzler Hessenberg matrices if n 4. In particular, this provides the first standard form for controllable third order continuous-time positive systems via a positive controller-Hessenberg form. Finally, we present an example which illustrates why this result is not easily transferred to discrete-time positive systems. While many of our supplementary results are proven in general, it remains an open question if Metzler matrices of dimensions n 5 remain similar to Metzler Hessenberg matrices.
