This paper investigates the necessary and sufficient condition for a set of (real or complex) matrices to commute. It is proved that the commutator[A,B]=0for two matricesAandBif and only if a vectorv(B)defined uniquely from the matrixBis in the null space of a well-structured matrix defined as the Kronecker sumA⊕(−A∗), which is always rank defective. This result is extendable directly to any countable set of commuting matrices. Complementary results are derived concerning the commutators of certain matrices with functions of matricesf(A)which extend the well-known sufficiency-type commuting result[A,f(A)]=0.

Let A and E be n × n given complex matrices. This paper provides a necessary and sufficient condition for the solvability to the matrix equation system given by AXA = AEA and AkEAX = XAEAk, for k being the index of A. In addition, its general solution is derived in terms of a G-Drazin inverse of A. As consequences, new representations are obtained for the set of all G-Drazin inverses; some interesting applications are also derived to show the importance of the obtained formulas.

M M -2 semitensor product is a new and very useful mathematical tool, which breaks the limitation of traditional matrix multiplication on the dimension of matrices and has a wide application prospect. This article aims to investigate the solutions of the matrix equation A ° l X = B with respect to M M -2 semitensor product. The case where the solutions of the equation are vectors is discussed first. Compatible conditions of matrices and the necessary and sufficient condition for the solvability is studied successively. Furthermore, concrete methods of solving the equation are provided. Then, the case where the solutions of the equation are matrices is studied in a similar way. Finally, several examples are given to illustrate the efficiency of the results.

Abstract Orthonormal bases of isotropic vectors for indefinite square matrices are proposed and solved. A necessary and sufficient condition is that the matrix must have zero trace. A recursive algorithm is presented for computer applications. The isotropic vectors of 3 × 3 matrices are solved explicitly. Deviatoric stresses in continuum mechanics, the existence of isotropic vectors (particularly in screw space), and stiffness synthesis by springs are shown to be related to the isotropic vector problem.

Abstract Using the semi-tensor product of matrices, this paper investigates cycles of graphs with application to cut-edges and the minimum spanning tree, and presents a number of new results and algorithms. Firstly, by defining a characteristic logical vector and using the matrix expression of logical functions, an algebraic description is obtained for cycles of graph, based on which a new necessary and sufficient condition is established to find all cycles for any graph. Secondly, using the necessary and sufficient condition of cycles, two algorithms are established to find all cut-edges and the minimum spanning tree, respectively. Finally, the study of an illustrative example shows that the results/algorithms presented in this paper are effective.

This paper proposes the matrix representation of formal polynomials over max-plus algebra and obtains the maximum and minimum canonical forms of a polynomial function by standardizing this representation into a canonical form. A necessary and sufficient condition for two formal polynomials corresponding to the same polynomial function is derived. Such a matrix method is constructive and intuitive, and leads to a polynomial algorithm for factorization of polynomial functions. Some illustrative examples are presented to demonstrate the results.

The notion of the inverse of a matrix with entries from the real or complex fields was generalized by Moore (6, 7) in 1920 to include all rectangular (finite dimensional) matrices. In 1951, Bjerhammar (2, 3) rediscovered the generalized inverse for rectangular matrices of maximal rank. In 1955, Penrose (8, 9) independently rediscovered the generalized inverse for arbitrary real or complex rectangular matrices. Recently, Arghiriade (1) has given a set of necessary and sufficient conditions that a matrix commute with its generalized inverse. These conditions involve the existence of certain submatrices and can be expressed using the notion of EPr matrices introduced in 1950 by Schwerdtfeger (10). The main purpose of this paper is to prove the following theorem:Theorem 2. A necessary and sufficient condition that the generalized inverse of the matrix A (denoted by A+) commute with A is that A+ can be expressed as a polynomial in A with scalar coefficients.

AbstractThis paper is a study of summability methods that are based on Dirichlet convolution. If f(n) is a function on positive integers and x is a sequence such that then x is said to be Af-summable to L. The necessary and sufficient condition for the matrix Af to preserve bounded variation of sequences is established. Also, the matrix Af is investigated as ℓ − ℓ and G − G mappings. The strength of the Af-matrix is also discussed.

This paper is concerned with Jordan canonical form theorem of algebraic formulae giving all the solutions of the matrix equation Xm= A where n is a positive integer greater than 2 and A is a 2 × 2 matrix with real or complex elements. If A is a 2 × 2 non-singular matrix, the equation Xm = A has infinitely many solutions and we obtain explicit formulae giving all the solutions. If A is a 2 × 2 singular matrix, and we obtained necessary and sufficient condition of square root . This leads to very simple formulae for all the solutions when A is either a singular matrix or a non-singular matrix with two coincident eigenvalues. We also determine the precise number of solutions in various cases.

SynopsisA necessary and sufficient condition for a general, scalar, quasi-differential expression of order n to be factorisable into a product of expressions of order n − k and k, for any 0 < k < n, is given. The factors are characterised completely in terms of elements of the null space of the expression and its adjoint. The results obtained extend existing results due to both Polya and Zettl from the case of classical linear differential expressions to quasi-differential expressions.

The paper investigates the maximum distance separable (MDS) matrix over the matrix polynomial residue ring. Firstly, by analyzing the minimal polynomials of binary matrices with 1 XOR count and element-matrices with few XOR counts, we present an efficient method for constructing MDS matrices with as few XOR counts as possible. Comparing with previous constructions, our corresponding constructions only cost 1 minute 27 seconds to 7 minutes, while previous constructions cost 3 days to 4 weeks. Secondly, we discuss the existence of several types of involutory MDS matrices and propose an efficient necessary-and-sufficient condition for identifying a Hadamard matrix being involutory. According to the condition, each involutory Hadamard matrix over a polynomial residue ring can be accurately and efficiently searched. Furthermore, we devise an efficient algorithm for constructing involutory Hadamard MDS matrices with as few XOR counts as possible. We obtain many new involutory Hadamard MDS matrices with much fewer XOR counts than optimal results reported before.
