Let $X$ be a set and $\mathcal{T}_X$ the full transformation semigroup on $X$. For partition $\mathcal{P}$ of $X$, we consider semigroups $T(X, \mathcal{P}) = \{f\in \mathcal{T}_X| (\forall X_i\in (\exists X_j \in \mathcal{P})\;X_i f \subseteq X_j\}$, $\Sigma(X, T(X, \mathcal{P})|(\forall X_i \mathcal{P})\; Xf \cap \neq \emptyset\}$, $\Gamma(X, \mathcal{T}_X|(\forall \mathcal{P})(\exists X_j\in...

A generalized matrix product can be formally written as A sp p A sp−1 p−1 · · ·A s2 2 A s1 1 , where si ∈ {−1,+1} and (A1, . . . , Ap) is a tuple of (possibly rectangular) matrices of suitable dimensions. The periodic eigenvalue problem related to such a product represents a nontrivial extension of generalized eigenvalue and singular value problems. While the classification of generalized matri...
