چکیده

In this paper we give a new formula for the n-th power of a 2× 2 matrix. More precisely, we prove the following: Let A = ( a b c d ) be an arbitrary 2×2 matrix, T = a+ d its trace, D = ad− bc its determinant and define yn : = bn/2c ∑ i=0 ( n− i i ) T n−2i(−D)i. Then, for n ≥ 1, A = ( yn − d yn−1 b yn−1 c yn−1 yn − a yn−1 ) . We use this formula together with an existing formula for the n-th power of a matrix, various matrix identities, formulae for the n-th power of particular matrices, etc, to derive various combinatorial identities.

Further combinatorial identities deriving from the nth power of a 2×2 matrix

In this paper we use a formula for the n-th power of a 2×2 matrix A (in terms of the entries in A) to derive various combinatorial identities. Three examples of our results follow. 1) We show that if m and n are positive integers and s ∈ {0, 1, 2, . . . , b(mn− 1)/2c}, then ∑ i,j,k,t 2 (−1) 1 + δ(m−1)/2, i+k ( m− 1− i i )( m− 1− 2i k ) × ( n(m− 1− 2(i+ k)) 2j )( j t− n(i+ k) )( n− 1− s+ t s− t )

Powers of a Matrix and Combinatorial Identities

In this article we obtain a general polynomial identity in k variables, where k ≥ 2 is an arbitrary positive integer. We use this identity to give a closed-form expression for the entries of the powers of a k × k matrix. Finally, we use these results to derive various combinatorial identities.

Rings with a setwise polynomial-like condition

Let $R$ be an infinite ring. Here we prove that if $0_R$ belongs to ${x_1x_2cdots x_n ;|; x_1,x_2,dots,x_nin X}$ for every infinite subset $X$ of $R$, then $R$ satisfies the polynomial identity $x^n=0$. Also we prove that if $0_R$ belongs to ${x_1x_2cdots x_n-x_{n+1} ;|; x_1,x_2,dots,x_n,x_{n+1}in X}$ for every infinite subset $X$ of $R$, then $x^n=x$ for all $xin R$.

The Tilings of a (2× n)-Board and Some New Combinatorial Identities

We know that the Fibonacci numbers count the tilings of a (1×n)-board by squares and dominoes, or equivalently, the number of tilings of a (2×n)-board by dominoes. We use the tilings of a (2×n)-board by colored unit squares and dominoes to obtain some new combinatorial identities. They are generalization of some known combinatorial identities and in the special case give us the Fibonacci identi...

Selecting Efficient Service-providers in Electric Power Distribution Industry Using Combinatorial Reverse Auction

In this paper, a combinatorial reverse auction mechanism is proposed for selecting the most efficient service-providers for resolving sustained power interruptions in multiple regions of an electric power distribution company’s responsibility area. Through this mechanism, supplying the required service in each region is assigned to only one potential service-provider considering two criteria in...
