We give lower bounds on the largest singular value of arbitrary matrices, some of which are asymptotically tight for almost all matrices. To study when these bounds are exact, we introduce several combinatorial concepts. In particular, we introduce regular, pseudo-regular, and almost regular matrices. Nonnegative, symmetric, almost regular matrices were studied earlier by Ho¤man, Wolfe, and Ho¤...

In this paper, notions of compatible and almost compatible Riemannian and pseudo-Riemannian metrics, which are motivated by the theory of compatible (local and nonlocal) Poisson structures of hydrodynamic type and generalize the notion of flat pencil of metrics (this notion plays an important role in the theory of integrable systems of hydrodynamic type and the Dubrovin theory of Frobenius mani...

1 Introduction This paper is an extended version of the talk given by Miguel Olalla at the International Conference on Valuation Theory in El Escorial in July 2011. Its purpose is to provide an introduction to our joint paper [7] without grinding through all of its technical details. We refer the reader to [7] for details and proofs; only a few proofs are given in the present paper. Notation. T...

In this paper we define a new type of rings ”almost powerhermitian rings” (a generalization of almost hermitian rings) and establish several sufficient conditions over a ring R such that, every regular matrix admits a diagonal power-reduction.

pseudo ricci symmetric real hypersurfaces of a complex projective space are classified and it is proved that there are no pseudo ricci symmetric real hypersurfaces of the complex projective space cpn for which the vector field ξ from the almost contact metric structure (φ, ξ, η, g) is a principal curvature vector field.
