Matrix calculations underlie countless problems in science, mathematics, and engineering. When the involved matrices are highly structured, displacement operators can be used to accelerate fundamental operations such as matrix-vector multiplication. In this thesis, we provide an introduction to the theory of displacement operators and study the interplay between displacement and natural matrix ...

We provide counter–examples to Mulmuley’s SH conjecture for the Kronecker coefficients. This conjecture was proposed in the setting of Geometric Complexity Theory to show that deciding whether or not a Kronecker coefficient is zero can be done in polynomial time. We also provide a short proof of the #P–hardness of computing the Kronecker coefficients. Both results rely on the connections betwee...

Let G and H be connected graphs. The tensor product G + H is a graph with vertex set V(G+H) = V (G) X V(H) and edge set E(G + H) ={(a , b)(x , y)| ax ∈ E(G) & by ∈ E(H)}. The graph H is called the strongly triangular if for every vertex u and v there exists a vertex w adjacent to both of them. In this article the tensor product of G + H under some distancebased topological indices are investiga...

This paper gives an overview of notations used in multiway array processing. We redefine the vectorization and matricization operators to comply with some properties of the Kronecker product. The tensor product and Kronecker product are also represented with two different symbols, and it is shown how these notations lead to clearer expressions for multiway array operations. Finally, the paper r...

Abstract: In this paper, we consider norms and spreads of RFMLR circulant matrices involving the Fermat, Mersenne sequences and Gaussian Fibonacci number, respectively. Firstly, we reviewed some properties of the Fermat, Mersenne sequences, Gaussian Fibonacci number and RFMLR circulant matrices. Furthermore, we give lower and upper bounds for the spectral norms and spread of these special matri...

In the late 1930’s Murnaghan discovered the existence of a stabilization phenomenon for the Kronecker product of Schur functions. For n large enough, the values of the Kronecker coefficients appearing in the product of two Schur functions of degree n do not depend on the first part of the indexing partitions, but only on the values of their remaining parts. We compute the exact value of n when ...

A set of integers S is called ε-Kronecker if every function on S of modulus one can be approximated uniformly to within ε by a character. The least such ε is called the ε-Kronecker constant. We transform the problem of calculating ε-Kronecker constants for finite sets of d elements into a geometric optimization problem. Using this approach we can explicitly determine the ε-Kronecker constant fo...

We provide counter–examples to Mulmuley’s strong saturation conjecture (strong SH) for the Kronecker coefficients. This conjecture was proposed in the setting of Geometric Complexity Theory to show that deciding whether or not a Kronecker coefficient is zero can be done in polynomial time. We also provide a short proof of the #P–hardness of computing the Kronecker coefficients. Both results rel...
