A predistance matrix D is called Euclidean or a Euclidean distance matrix (EDM) if there exist a positive integer r and a set of n points p1, . , pn r 2 2 { } such that p1, . , pn R and d = pi pj (i, j = 1, . , n), where . denotes the ∈ ij k − k k k usual Euclidean norm. The smallest value of r that satisfies the above condition is called the embedding dimension.

Realizing Euclidean Distance Matrices by Sphere Intersection
Realizing Euclidean distance matrices by sphere intersection Jorge Alencara,∗, Carlile Lavorb, Leo Libertic aInstituto Federal de Educa¸c~ao,Ci^enciae Tecnologia do Sul de Minas Gerais, Inconfidentes, MG, Brazil bUniversity of Campinas (IMECC-UNICAMP), 13081-970, Campinas-SP, Brazil cCNRS LIX, Ecole´ Polytechnique, 91128 Palaiseau, France Abstract This paper presents the theoretical properties of an algorithm to find a re- alization of a (full) n × n Euclidean distance matrix in the smallest possible embedding dimension. Our algorithm performs linearly in n, and quadratically in the minimum embedding dimension, which is an improvement w.r.t. other algorithms. Keywords: Distance geometry, sphere intersection, euclidean distance matrix, embedding dimension. 2010 MSC: 00-01, 99-00 1. Introduction Euclidean distance matrices and sphere intersection have a strong mathe- matical importance [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], in addition to many applications, such as navigation problems, molecular and nanostructure conformation, network 5 localization, robotics, as well as other problems of distance geometry [7, 8, 9]. Before defining precisely the problem of interest, we need the formal defini- tion for Euclidean distance matrices. Let D be a n × n symmetric hollow (i.e., with zero diagonal) matrix with non-negative elements. We say that D is a (squared) Euclidean Distance Matrix (EDM) if there are points x1; x2; : : : ; xn 2 RK (for a positive integer K) such that 2 D(i; j) = Dij = kxi − xjk ; i; j 2 f1; : : : ; ng; where k · k denotes the Euclidean norm. The smallest K for which such a set of points exists is called the embedding dimension of D, denoted by dim(D). -
Similarity-Based Clustering by Left-Stochastic Matrix Factorization
JournalofMachineLearningResearch14(2013)1715-1746 Submitted 1/12; Revised 11/12; Published 7/13 Similarity-based Clustering by Left-Stochastic Matrix Factorization Raman Arora [email protected] Toyota Technological Institute 6045 S. Kenwood Ave Chicago, IL 60637, USA Maya R. Gupta [email protected] Google 1225 Charleston Rd Mountain View, CA 94301, USA Amol Kapila [email protected] Maryam Fazel [email protected] Department of Electrical Engineering University of Washington Seattle, WA 98195, USA Editor: Inderjit Dhillon Abstract For similarity-based clustering, we propose modeling the entries of a given similarity matrix as the inner products of the unknown cluster probabilities. To estimate the cluster probabilities from the given similarity matrix, we introduce a left-stochastic non-negative matrix factorization problem. A rotation-based algorithm is proposed for the matrix factorization. Conditions for unique matrix factorizations and clusterings are given, and an error bound is provided. The algorithm is partic- ularly efficient for the case of two clusters, which motivates a hierarchical variant for cases where the number of desired clusters is large. Experiments show that the proposed left-stochastic decom- position clustering model produces relatively high within-cluster similarity on most data sets and can match given class labels, and that the efficient hierarchical variant performs surprisingly well. Keywords: clustering, non-negative matrix factorization, rotation, indefinite kernel, similarity, completely positive 1. Introduction Clustering is important in a broad range of applications, from segmenting customers for more ef- fective advertising, to building codebooks for data compression. Many clustering methods can be interpreted in terms of a matrix factorization problem. -
Alternating Sign Matrices and Polynomiography
Alternating Sign Matrices and Polynomiography Bahman Kalantari Department of Computer Science Rutgers University, USA [email protected] Submitted: Apr 10, 2011; Accepted: Oct 15, 2011; Published: Oct 31, 2011 Mathematics Subject Classifications: 00A66, 15B35, 15B51, 30C15 Dedicated to Doron Zeilberger on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday Abstract To each permutation matrix we associate a complex permutation polynomial with roots at lattice points corresponding to the position of the ones. More generally, to an alternating sign matrix (ASM) we associate a complex alternating sign polynomial. On the one hand visualization of these polynomials through polynomiography, in a combinatorial fashion, provides for a rich source of algo- rithmic art-making, interdisciplinary teaching, and even leads to games. On the other hand, this combines a variety of concepts such as symmetry, counting and combinatorics, iteration functions and dynamical systems, giving rise to a source of research topics. More generally, we assign classes of polynomials to matrices in the Birkhoff and ASM polytopes. From the characterization of vertices of these polytopes, and by proving a symmetry-preserving property, we argue that polynomiography of ASMs form building blocks for approximate polynomiography for polynomials corresponding to any given member of these polytopes. To this end we offer an algorithm to express any member of the ASM polytope as a convex of combination of ASMs. In particular, we can give exact or approximate polynomiography for any Latin Square or Sudoku solution. We exhibit some images. Keywords: Alternating Sign Matrices, Polynomial Roots, Newton’s Method, Voronoi Diagram, Doubly Stochastic Matrices, Latin Squares, Linear Programming, Polynomiography 1 Introduction Polynomials are undoubtedly one of the most significant objects in all of mathematics and the sciences, particularly in combinatorics. -

It relies on the normal form of Cohn and Reutenauer and can be used more generally to (positively) test rational identities. Moreover we provide a construction of minimal linear representations for the inverse of non-zero elements.

The notion of “free fields” goes back to Amitsur [Ami66]. A brief introduction can be found in [Coh03, Section 9.3], for details we refer to [Coh95, Section 6.4]. In the present paper we restrict the setting to commutative ground fields, as a special case. See also [Rob84]. In [CR94], Cohn and Reutenauer introduced a normal form for elements in free fields in order to extend results from the theory of formal languages.

Representations of Stochastic Matrices
Rotational (and Other) Representations of Stochastic Matrices Steve Alpern1 and V. S. Prasad2 1Department of Mathematics, London School of Economics, London WC2A 2AE, United Kingdom. email: [email protected] 2Department of Mathematics, University of Massachusetts Lowell, Lowell, MA. email: [email protected] May 27, 2005 Abstract Joel E. Cohen (1981) conjectured that any stochastic matrix P = pi;j could be represented by some circle rotation f in the following sense: Forf someg par- tition Si of the circle into sets consisting of …nite unions of arcs, we have (*) f g pi;j = (f (Si) Sj) = (Si), where denotes arc length. In this paper we show how cycle decomposition\ techniques originally used (Alpern, 1983) to establish Cohen’sconjecture can be extended to give a short simple proof of the Coding Theorem, that any mixing (that is, P N > 0 for some N) stochastic matrix P can be represented (in the sense of * but with Si merely measurable) by any aperiodic measure preserving bijection (automorphism) of a Lesbesgue proba- bility space. Representations by pointwise and setwise periodic automorphisms are also established. While this paper is largely expository, all the proofs, and some of the results, are new.

Alternating sign matrices, extensions and related cones Richard A. Brualdi∗ Geir Dahly December 1, 2016 Abstract An alternating sign matrix, or ASM, is a (0; ±1)-matrix where the nonzero entries in each row and column alternate in sign, and where each row and column sum is 1. We study the convex cone generated by ASMs of order n, called the ASM cone, as well as several related cones and polytopes. Some decomposition results are shown, and we find a minimal Hilbert basis of the ASM cone. The notion of (±1)-doubly stochastic matrices and a generalization of ASMs are introduced and various properties are shown. For instance, we give a new short proof of the linear characterization of the ASM polytope, in fact for a more general polytope. -

We will rst describe diagonalization, the procedure for (trying to) nd a basis such that the associated matrix for T is a diagonal matrix, and characterize the linear operators that are diagonalizable. Then we will discuss a few applications of diagonalization, including the Cayley-Hamilton theorem that any matrix satises its characteristic polynomial, and close with a brief discussion of non-diagonalizable matrices. 5.1 Eigenvalues, Eigenvectors, and The Characteristic Polynomial • Suppose that we have a linear transformation T : V !

INTRODUCTION In [7] Sinkhorn proved that if A is a positive square matrix, then there exist two diagonal matrices D, = {@r,..., d$) and D, = {dj2),..., di2r) with positive entries such that D,AD, is doubly stochastic. This problem was studied also by Marcus and Newman [3], Maxfield and Mint [4] and Menon [5]. Later Sinkhorn and Knopp [8] considered the same problem for A non- negative. Using a limit process of alternately normalizing the rows and columns sums of A, they obtained a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of D, and D, such that D,AD, is doubly stochastic. Brualdi, Parter and Schneider [l] obtained the same theorem by a quite different method using spectral properties of some nonlinear operators. In this note we give a new proof of the same theorem. We introduce an extremal problem, and from the existence of a solution to this problem we derive the existence of D, and D, . This method yields also a variational characterization for JJTC1(din dj2’), which can be applied to obtain bounds for this quantity. We note that bounds for I7y-r (d,!‘) dj”)) may be of interest in connection with inequalities for the permanent of doubly stochastic matrices [3]. 2.
