Spectrum preserving lower triangular completions - the nonnegative nilpotent case

چکیده
Nonnegative nilpotent lower triangular completions of a nonnegative nilpotent matrix are studied. It is shown that for every natural number between the index of the matrix and its order, there exists a completion that has this number as its index. A similar result is obtained for the rank. However, unlike the case of complex completions of complex matrices, it is proved that for every nonincreasing sequence of nonnegative integers whose sum is n, there exists an n n nonnegative nilpotent matrix A such that for every nonnegative nilpotent lower triangular completion, B, of A, B 6= A, ind(B) > ind(A).

متن کاملLinear Functions Preserving Sut-Majorization on RN
Suppose $textbf{M}_{n}$ is the vector space of all $n$-by-$n$ real matrices, and let $mathbb{R}^{n}$ be the set of all $n$-by-$1$ real vectors. A matrix $Rin textbf{M}_{n}$ is said to be $textit{row substochastic}$ if it has nonnegative entries and each row sum is at most $1$. For $x$, $y in mathbb{R}^{n}$, it is said that $x$ is $textit{sut-majorized}$ by $y$ (denoted by $ xprec_{sut} y$) if t...
متن کاملRelative Completions and the Cohomology of Linear Groups over Local Rings
For a discrete group G there are two well-known completions. The first is the Malcev (or unipotent) completion. This is a prounipotent group U , defined over Q, together with a homomorphism ψ : G → U that is universal among maps from G into prounipotent Q-groups. To construct U , it suffices to consider the case where G is nilpotent; the general case is handled by taking the inverse limit of th...
متن کاملOn the Fundamental Group of Manifolds with Almost Nonnegative Ricci Curvature
Gromov conjectured that the fundamental group of a manifold with almost nonnegative Ricci curvature is almost nilpotent. This conjecture is proved under the additional assumption on the conjugate radius. We show that there exists a nilpotent subgroup of finite index depending on a lower bound of the conjugate radius.
متن کاملTriangulable Locally Nilpotent Derivations in Dimension Three
In this paper we give an algorithm to recognize triangulable locally nilpotent derivations in dimension three. In case the given derivation is triangulable, our method produces a coordinate system in which it exhibits a triangular form.
