We emphasize that the role of centrosymmetric matrices is very important in different technical areas. We can mention among them antenna theory, pattern recognition, vibration in structures, electrical networks and quan- tum physics (see [1, 5, 8, 9, 19, 23, 25]). It is observed that the computa- tional complexity of various algorithms is reduced taking advantage of the structure of these matrices. Also, mirror-symmetric matrices have important applications in studying odd/even-mode decomposition of symmetric mul- ticonductor transmission lines [15]. Additional applications of K; s + 1 - potent matrices are related to the calculation of high powers off matrices,g such as those needed in Markov chains and Graph Theory. Allowing nega- tive values for s, Wikramaratna studied in [26] a new type of matrices for generating pseudo-random numbers. Inspired by this idea, another applica- tion, in image processing, has been considered in [14] where algorithms for image blurring/deblurring are designed. The advantage of this method is to avoid the computation of inverses of matrices and it can be applied, for instance, to protect a part of an image. The class of K; s+1 -potent matrices is linked to other kind of matrices such as s + 1 -generalizedf g projectors, K -Hermitian matrices, normal ma- trices, Hamiltonianf g matrices, etc. [12].f Moreog ver, some related results are given in [4] from an algebraic point of view. Furthermore, in [13] the authors developed an algorithm to construct the matrices in this class. This problem is called the direct problem. The aim of this paper is to solve the inverse problem, that is, to find all the involutory matrices K for which a given matrix A is K; s + 1 -potent. For this purpose, several algorithms will be developed. f The s g= 0 and s 1 cases are separately studied since they produce different situations. In addition,≥ some examples are presented showing the numerical performance of the methods. In what follows, we will need the spectral theorem: n n Theorem 1 ([2]) Let A C × with k distinct eigenvalues λ1; : : : ; λk. Then the matrix A is diagonalizable2 if and only if there are disjoint projectors 2 P1; P2; : : : ; Pk, (i.e., PiPj = δijPi for i; j 1; 2; : : : ; k ) such that A = k k 2 f g j=1 λjPj and In = j=1 Pj. th P For a positive integerP k, let Ωk be the set of all k roots of unity. If we define ! = e2πi=k then Ω = !1; !2; : : : ; !k . The elements of Ω will always k f g k be assumed to be listed in this order. Define Λk = 0 Ωk = λ0; λ1; : : : ; λk j f g[ f g so that λ0 = 0, and λj = ! for 1 j k. Let N = 0; 1; 2; : : : ; (s + 1)2 ≤ 2 ≤for an integer s 1. In [11], it was s f − g ≥ proved that the function ' : Ns Ns defined by '(j) j(s + 1) [mod ((s + 1)2 1)] is a permutation. Moreo!ver, we notice that ' is≡an involution. It was also−shown that the eigenvalues of a K; s + 1 -potent matrix A are included f g in the set Λ(s+1)2 1 and such a matrix A has associated certain projectors. − Specifically, we will consider matrices Pj's satisfying the relations KPjK = P'(j) and KP(s+1)2 1K = P(s+1)2 1; (1) − − for j Ns, where P0; P1; : : : ; P(s+1)2 1 are the eigenprojectors given in The- orem 21. For simplicity in the notation,− we are assuming that all of these projectors Pj's are spectral projectors for A. However, for any specific spec- tral decomposition of A we must consider the (unique) spectral projectors needed for that decomposition. The designed algorithms compute these spe- cific eigenprojectors and, in Section 5, we show some examples with their adequate spectral projectors. Those examples also illustrate all the studied situations throughout the paper. n n Theorem 2 ([11]) Let A C × and s 1 be an integer. Then the follow- ing conditions are equivalent:2 ≥ (a) A is K; s + 1 -potent. f g (b) A is diagonalizable, σ(A) Λ(s+1)2 1, and the Pj's satisfy condition (1), where σ(A) denotes the sp⊆ectrum of− A. (s+1)2 (c) A = A, and the Pj's satisfy condition (1). 2 Obtaining the involutory matrices K for s 1 ≥ It is well known that the Kronecker product is an important tool to solve some matrix problems, as for example the Sylvester and Lyapunov equations. The 3 Kronecker sum, obtained as a sum of two Kronecker products, is applied, for example, to solve the two-dimensional heat equation, to rewrite the Jacobi iteration matrix, etc. [24]. The notation used in this paper refers to the Kronecker product; and X T denotes the transp⊗ ose of the matrix X [10]. For n n n2 1 any matrix X = [xij] C × , let v(X) = [vk] C × be the vector formed by stacking the columns2 of X into a single column2 vector. The expression th [v(X)] (j 1)n+1;:::;(j 1)n+n , for j = 1; : : : ; n, denotes the j column of X. f − − g n n In what follows, we will need the following property: if A C × and n n 2 B C × then 2 A Ker(A) Ker(B) = Ker ; (2) \ B which is also valid for a finite number of matrices of suitable sizes, where Ker(:) denotes the null space of the matrix (:). We recall that when A is a diagonalizable matrix whose distinct eigenval- ues are λ1; λ2; : : : ; λl, the principal idempotents are given by p (A) l P = t where p (η) = (η λ ): (3) t p (λ ) t − i t t i = 1 iY6= t By using the function ' and the projectors introduced in (1), it is possible to construct the matrix T (P0 In) + (In P'(0)) T ⊗ ⊗ − (P1 In) + (In P'(1)) 2 ⊗ . ⊗ − 3 M = . : (4) 6 T 2 7 6 (P(s+1)2 2 In) + (In P'((s+1) 2)) 7 − ⊗ ⊗ − − 6 T 2 7 6 (P(s+1)2 1 In) + (In P(s+1) 1) 7 6 − ⊗ ⊗ − − 7 4 5 For a given positive integer s, the square, complex matrix A is called a 2 potential K; s + 1 -potent matrix if A(s+1) = A, or equivalently, if A is f g diagonalizable and σ(A) is contained in Λ(s+1)2 1. Note that K is completely unspecified here.

  • Matrices That Are Similar to Their Inverses
    116 THE MATHEMATICAL GAZETTE Matrices that are similar to their inverses GRIGORE CÃLUGÃREANU 1. Introduction In a group G, an element which is conjugate with its inverse is called real, i.e. the element and its inverse belong to the same conjugacy class. An element is called an involution if it is of order 2. With these notions it is easy to formulate the following questions. 1) Which are the (finite) groups all of whose elements are real ? 2) Which are the (finite) groups such that the identity and involutions are the only real elements ? 3) Which are the (finite) groups in which the real elements form a subgroup closed under multiplication? According to specialists, these (general) questions cannot be solved in any reasonable way. For example, there are numerous families of groups all of whose elements are real, like the symmetric groups Sn. There are many solvable groups whose elements are all real, and one can prove that any finite solvable group occurs as a subgroup of a solvable group whose elements are all real. As for question 2, note that in any Abelian group (conjugations are all the identity function), the only real elements are the identity and the involutions, and they form a subgroup. There are non-abelian examples as well, like a Suzuki 2-group. Question 3 is similar to questions 1 and 2. Therefore the abstract study of reality questions in finite groups is unlikely to have a good outcome. This may explain why in the existing bibliography there are only specific studies (see [1, 2, 3, 4]).

  • On the Construction of Lightweight Circulant Involutory MDS Matrices⋆
    On the Construction of Lightweight Circulant Involutory MDS Matrices? Yongqiang Lia;b, Mingsheng Wanga a. State Key Laboratory of Information Security, Institute of Information Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China b. Science and Technology on Communication Security Laboratory, Chengdu, China [email protected] [email protected] Abstract. In the present paper, we investigate the problem of con- structing MDS matrices with as few bit XOR operations as possible. The key contribution of the present paper is constructing MDS matrices with entries in the set of m × m non-singular matrices over F2 directly, and the linear transformations we used to construct MDS matrices are not assumed pairwise commutative. With this method, it is shown that circulant involutory MDS matrices, which have been proved do not exist over the finite field F2m , can be constructed by using non-commutative entries. Some constructions of 4 × 4 and 5 × 5 circulant involutory MDS matrices are given when m = 4; 8. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time that circulant involutory MDS matrices have been constructed. Furthermore, some lower bounds on XORs that required to evaluate one row of circulant and Hadamard MDS matrices of order 4 are given when m = 4; 8. Some constructions achieving the bound are also given, which have fewer XORs than previous constructions. Keywords: MDS matrix, circulant involutory matrix, Hadamard ma- trix, lightweight 1 Introduction Linear diffusion layer is an important component of symmetric cryptography which provides internal dependency for symmetric cryptography algorithms.

  • Zero-Sum Triangles for Involutory, Idempotent, Nilpotent and Unipotent Matrices
    Zero-Sum Triangles for Involutory, Idempotent, Nilpotent and Unipotent Matrices Pengwei Hao1, Chao Zhang2, Huahan Hao3 Abstract: In some matrix formations, factorizations and transformations, we need special matrices with some properties and we wish that such matrices should be easily and simply generated and of integers. In this paper, we propose a zero-sum rule for the recurrence relations to construct integer triangles as triangular matrices with involutory, idempotent, nilpotent and unipotent properties, especially nilpotent and unipotent matrices of index 2. With the zero-sum rule we also give the conditions for the special matrices and the generic methods for the generation of those special matrices. The generated integer triangles are mostly newly discovered, and more combinatorial identities can be found with them. Keywords: zero-sum rule, triangles of numbers, generation of special matrices, involutory, idempotent, nilpotent and unipotent matrices 1. Introduction Zero-sum was coined in early 1940s in the field of game theory and economic theory, and the term “zero-sum game” is used to describe a situation where the sum of gains made by one person or group is lost in equal amounts by another person or group, so that the net outcome is neutral, or the sum of losses and gains is zero [1]. It was later also frequently used in psychology and political science. In this work, we apply the zero-sum rule to three adjacent cells to construct integer triangles. Pascal's triangle is named after the French mathematician Blaise Pascal, but the history can be traced back in almost 2,000 years and is referred to as the Staircase of Mount Meru in India, the Khayyam triangle in Persia (Iran), Yang Hui's triangle in China, Apianus's Triangle in Germany, and Tartaglia's triangle in Italy [2].

  • Matrix Algebra and Control
    Appendix A Matrix Algebra and Control Boldface lower case letters, e.g., a or b, denote vectors, boldface capital letters, e.g., A, M, denote matrices. A vector is a column matrix. Containing m elements (entries) it is referred to as an m-vector. The number of rows and columns of a matrix A is nand m, respectively. Then, A is an (n, m)-matrix or n x m-matrix (dimension n x m). The matrix A is called positive or non-negative if A>, 0 or A :2:, 0 , respectively, i.e., if the elements are real, positive and non-negative, respectively. A.1 Matrix Multiplication Two matrices A and B may only be multiplied, C = AB , if they are conformable. A has size n x m, B m x r, C n x r. Two matrices are conformable for multiplication if the number m of columns of the first matrix A equals the number m of rows of the second matrix B. Kronecker matrix products do not require conformable multiplicands. The elements or entries of the matrices are related as follows Cij = 2::;;'=1 AivBvj 'Vi = 1 ... n, j = 1 ... r . The jth column vector C,j of the matrix C as denoted in Eq.(A.I3) can be calculated from the columns Av and the entries BVj by the following relation; the jth row C j ' from rows Bv. and Ajv: column C j = L A,vBvj , row Cj ' = (CT),j = LAjvBv, (A. 1) /1=1 11=1 A matrix product, e.g., AB = (c: c:) (~b ~b) = 0 , may be zero although neither multipli­ cand A nor multiplicator B is zero.

About Circulant Involutory MDS Matrices Victor Cauchois ∗ Pierre Loidreau y DGA MI and Universit´ede Rennes 1 Abstract We give a new algebraic proof of the non-existence of circulant involutory MDS matrices with coefficients in fields of even characteristic. For odd characteristics we give parameters for the potential existence. If we relax circulancy to θ-circulancy, then there is no restriction to the existence of θ-circulant involutory MDS matrices even for fields of even characteristic. Finally, we relax further the involutory defi- nition and propose a new direct construction of almost involutory θ-circulant MDS matrices. We show that they can be interesting in hardware implementations. 1 Introduction MDS matrices offer the maximal diffusion of symbols for cryptographic applications. To reduce implementation costs, research focuses on circulant and recursive matri- ces, which need only a linear number of multipliers to compute the matrix-vector product.
