Abstract

In this paper, we investigate and discuss in detail the structures of quaternion tensor SVD, quaternion tensor rank decomposition, and $η$-Hermitian quaternion tensor decomposition with the isomorphic group structures and Einstein product. Then we give the expression of the Moore-Penrose inverse of a quaternion tensor by using the quaternion tensor SVD. Moreover, we consider a generalized Sylvester quaternion tensor equation. We give some necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution to the generalized Sylvester quaternion tensor equation in terms of the Moore-Penrose inverses of the quaternion tensors. We also present the expression of the general solution to this tensor equation when it is solvable. As applications of this generalized Sylvester quaternion tensor equation, we derive some necessary and sufficient conditions for the existences of $η$-Hermitian solutions to some quaternion tensor equations. We also provide some numerical examples to illustrate our results.

On solutions of singular Sylvester equations in quaternions

The quaternionic equations ax-xb=0 and ax-xb=c are investigated, which are called homogeneous and inhomogeneous Sylvester equations, respectively. Conditions for the existence of solutions are provided. In addition, the general and nonzero solutions to these equations are derived applying quaternion square roots.

Positivity preservers over finite fields II

We say that a matrix over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ is positive definite if it is symmetric and each of its leading principal minors is a nonzero square in $\mathbb{F}_q$. In previous work of the authors [J. Algebra, 2025], the entrywise positivity preservers on $M_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$ were classified in every case except when $n=2$, $q\equiv1\pmod4$, and $q$ is not a square. We settle this remaining case, thereby completing the classification of entrywise positivity preservers over every finite field and in every dimension $n\ge2$. Our proof is based on a novel idempotent reduction that not only resolves the remaining case but also yields a self-contained proof of the complete classification, while avoiding several technical results used in the earlier arguments. As a further application of the same reduction, we classify the entrywise preservers of strongly nonsingular matrices, i.e., matrices whose leading principal minors are all nonzero. We also prove a more general theorem in odd characteristic: for every prescribed sign pattern of nonzero leading principal minors of matrices of a fixed dimension $n\ge2$, the entrywise preservers are precisely the positive scalar multiples of field automorphisms. Thus, in odd characteristic, preserving any nonzero leading-principal-minor sign pattern surprisingly forces the preservation of every such sign pattern.

Graphs of Moore-Penrose inverse of matrices possessing the treeangle property

It is known that the inverse of an invertible real square matrix satisfying the treeangle property, is a treediagonal matrix. A converse statement also holds. We show that the verbatim analogues are not true for the Moore-Penrose inverse, and obtain the precise structure of graphs corresponding to the Moore-Penrose inverse of matrices possessing the treeangle property.
