Generalized quadraticity of linear combination of two generalized quadratic matrices

It is investigated the necessary and sufficient conditions for the generalized quadraticity of a linear combination of any two generalized quadratic matrices. The main result obtained is, in a sense, a generalization of the main results given in [Uç M, Özdemir H, Özban AY. On the quadraticity of linear combinations of quadratic matrices. Linear Multilinear Algebra. 2015;63:1125–1137.] which contains many of the results in the literature related to idempotency or involutivity of the linear combinations of idempotent and/or involutive matrices, to the generalized quadratic matrices.

On the quadratic estimation of covariance matrices in multivariate linear models

This paper investigates the estimation of covariance matrices in multivariate mixed models. Some sufficient conditions are derived for a multivariate quadratic form and a linear combination of multivariate quadratic forms to be the BQUE (quadratic unbiased and severally minimum varianced) estimators of its expectations.     

A disjoint idempotent decomposition for linear combinations produced from two commutative tripotent matrices and its applications

A square matrix A of order n is said to be tripotent if A ³?=?A. In this note, we give a nine-term disjoint idempotent decomposition for the linear combination of two commutative tripotent matrices and their products. Using the decomposition, we derive some closed-form formulae for the eigenvalues, determinant, rank, trace, power, inverse and group inverse of the linear combinations. In particular, we show that the linear combinations of two commutative tripotent elements and their products can produce 3⁹?=?19,683 tripotent elements.     

The group inverse of the combinations of two idempotent matrices

In this article, we discuss the group inverse of aP + bQ + cPQ + dQP + ePQP + fQPQ + gPQPQ of idempotent matrices P and Q, where a, b, c, d, e, f, g ∈ ? and a ≠ 0, b ≠ 0, put forward its explicit expressions, and some necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the group inverse of aP + bQ + cPQ.     

On linear combinations of two tripotent, idempotent, and involutive matrices

Let A=c₁A₁+c₂A₂, wherec₁, c₂ are nonzero complex numbers and (A₁,A₂) is a pair of two n×n nonzero matrices. We consider the problem of characterizing all situations where a linear combination of the form A=c₁A₁+c₂A₂ is (i) a tripotent or an involutive matrix when are commuting involutive or commuting tripotent matrices, respectively, (ii) an idempotent matrix when are involutive matrices, and (iii) an involutive matrix when are involutive or idempotent matrices.

On the consistency of linear and quadratic systems

A system of linear inhomogeneous inequalities is examined. An algorithm is presented for isolating all the consistent subsystems in this system that are maximal with respect to inclusion, and justification of this algorithm is given. A criterion for the consistency of a system of quadratic inhomogeneous equations and inequalities is proposed.     

On weak generalized positive subdefinite matrices and the linear complementarity problem

In this article, we present a weaker version of the class of generalized positive subdefinite matrices introduced by Crouzeix and Komlósi [J.P. Crouzeix and S. Komlósi, The Linear Complementarity Problem and the Class of Generalized Positive Subdefinite Matrices, Applied Optimization, Vol. 59, Kluwer, Dordrecht, 2001, pp. 45–63], which is new in the literature, and obtain some properties of weak generalized positive subdefinite (WGPSBD) matrices. We show that this weaker class of matrices is also captured by row-sufficient matrices introduced by Cottle et al. [R.W. Cottle, J.S. Pang, and V. Venkateswaran, Sufficient matrices and the linear complementarity problem, Linear Algebra Appl. 114/115 (1989), pp. 231–249] and show that for WGPSBD matrices under appropriate assumptions, the solution set of a linear complementarity problem is the same as the set of Karush–Kuhn–Tucker-stationary points of the corresponding quadratic programming problem. This further extends the results obtained in an earlier paper by Neogy and Das [S.K. Neogy and A.K. Das, Some properties of generalized positive subdenite matrices, SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl. 27 (2006), pp. 988–995].     

On nonsingularity of combinations of three group invertible matrices and three tripotent matrices

Let T?=?c ₁ T ₁?+?c ₂ T ₂?+?c ₃ T ₃???c ₄(T ₁ T ₂?+?T ₃ T ₁?+?T ₂ T ₃), where T ₁, T ₂, T ₃ are three n?×?n tripotent matrices and c ₁, c ₂, c ₃, c ₄ are complex numbers with c ₁, c ₂, c ₃ nonzero. In this article, necessary and sufficient conditions for the nonsingularity of such combinations are established and some formulae for the inverses of them are obtained. Some of these results are given in terms of group invertible matrices.

Let T ₁ and T ₂ be two n?×?n tripotent matrices and c ₁, c ₂ two nonzero complex numbers. We mainly study the nonsingularity of combinations T?=?c ₁ T ₁?+?c ₂ T ₂???c ₃ T ₁ T ₂ of two tripotent matrices T ₁ and T ₂, and give some formulae for the inverse of c ₁ T ₁?+?c ₂ T ₂???c ₃ T ₁ T ₂ under some conditions. Some of these results are given in terms of group invertible matrices.     

Nonsingularity and group invertibility of linear combinations of two k-potent matrices

An n × n complex matrix A is said to be k-potent if A ^k = A. Let T ₁ and T ₂ be k-potent and c ₁ and c ₂ be two nonzero complex numbers. We study the range space, null space, nonsingularity and group invertibility of linear combinations T = c ₁ T ₁ + c ₂ T ₂ of two k-potent matrices T ₁ and T ₂.     

On the maximal subgroup of the sandwich semigroup of generalized circulant Boolean matrices

Let n be a positive integer, and C _n (r) the set of all n × n r-circulant matrices over the Boolean algebra B = {0, 1}, . For any fixed r-circulant matrix C (C ≠ 0) in G _n , we define an operation “*” in G _n as follows: A * B = ACB for any A, B in G _n , where ACB is the usual product of Boolean matrices. Then (G _n , *) is a semigroup. We denote this semigroup by G _n (C) and call it the sandwich semigroup of generalized circulant Boolean matrices with sandwich matrix C. Let F be an idempotent element in G _n (C) and M(F) the maximal subgroup in G _n (C) containing the idempotent element F. In this paper, the elements in M(F) are characterized and an algorithm to determine all the elements in M(F) is given.
