Condition Number dependent algorithms for matrix operations
Using the Conjugate gradient method we can solve a linear system $Ax=b$, where $A\in\mathbb R^{n\times n}$ in time $O(n^2 \sqrt{\kappa})$, where $\kappa=\frac{\sigma_\mathrm{max}(A)}{\sigma_\mathrm{...

Time complexity for multiplying two lower triangular matrices
I was wondering, if multiplication of two $n \times n$ lower (or upper) triangular matrices has a more efficient algorithm than multiplication of two general $n \times n$ matrices? $$ \begin{bmatrix} ...

Decomposing outer product or general rank factorization over $\Bbb F_q$
Given matrix $M\in\Bbb F_q^{n\times n}$ with the promise that there are two matrices $A\in\Bbb F_q^{n\times 1}$ and $B\in\Bbb F_q^{1\times n}$ such that $AB=M$ is there a deterministic $O((n\log q)^c)$...

Complexity of $\{0,\pm1\}$ determinant in sparse cases?
If $M\in\{-1,0,+1\}^{n\times n}$ be a matrix with only $O(n)$ non-zero entries and hadamard product $M\odot M$ being symmetric can we compute $Det(M)$ in $O(n)$ bit complexity? Assume that the matrix ...

On permanent of $\{\pm1,0\}$ matrices
Consider the problem of computing the permanent $Per(M)$ of a matrix $M\in\{0,-1,1\}^{n\times n}$ such that the result is bounded in absolute value, $|Per(M)|<B$ where $B$ is part of input. Is ...

Complexity involving connected components of 0/1 matrix
Assume a matrix has one component means we can traverse from a matrix entry $(i,j)$ which is $1$ to any other one by moving step of $(i\pm1,j),(i,j\pm1),(i\pm1,j\pm1)$ where each step you take you ...

Canonisation of boolean matrices under row and column permutations
Consider the equivalence relation $\sim$ on boolean matrices $A,B\in\{0,1\}^{m\times n}$ which is defined as follows: $A\sim B$ :iff there are permutation matrices $P\in\{0,1\}^{n\times n}, Q\in\{0,1\...

Matrix permanent is 0
Valiant's theorem says that computing the permanent of an $n\times n$ matrix is #P-hard. Is the problem of determining if a permanent is 0 any easier? This arises in the context of sequence A006063 in ...

Partial circulant matrices: Is there a non-zero vector $v\in \{-1,0,1\}^n$ such that $Mv=0$?
The following question arose as a side product of some work I have been part of recently. An $m$ by $n$ $(0,1)$-matrix $M$ is partial circulant if it can be formed by taking the first $m$ rows of a ...

Best algorithm for inversion of symmetric positive-definite matrices
As I know, the time complexity for usual inversion algorithm of general matrix is $O(n^3)$. In recent years, there is a improvement from $O(n^3)$ to $O(n^{2.8....})$. However, does there exists a ...

Can we decide whether a permanent has a unique term?
Suppose we are given an n by n matrix, M, with integer entries. Can we decide in P whether there is a permutation $\sigma$ such that for all permutations $\pi\ne\sigma$ we have $\Pi M_{i\sigma(i)}\ne \...
