The blowup-polynomial of a metric space: connections to stable polynomials, graphs and their distance spectra
• Mathematics
• 2021
To every finite metric space X, including all connected unweighted graphs with the minimum edge-distance metric, we attach an invariant that we call its blowup-polynomial pX({nx : x ∈ X}). This is

This work considers the refined problem of characterizing the set of entrywise powers preserving positivity for matrices with a zero pattern encoded by G, and studies how the geometry of $G$ influences the set $\mathcal{H}_G$.
Positivity preservers forbidden to operate on diagonal blocks
The question of which functions acting entrywise preserve positive semidefiniteness has a long history, beginning with the Schur product theorem [Crelle 1911], which implies that absolutely monotonic
Critical exponents for total positivity, individual kernel encoders, and the Jain-Karlin-Schoenberg kernel.
We prove the converse to a result of Karlin [Trans. AMS 1964], and also strengthen his result and two results of Schoenberg [Ann. of Math. 1955]. One of the latter results concerns zeros of Laplace
Blowup polynomials and delta-matroids of graphs
• Mathematics
• 2022
For every finite simple connected graph $G = (V,E)$, we introduce an invariant, its blowup-polynomial $p_G(\{ n_v : v \in V \})$. This is obtained by dividing the determinant of the distance matrix
Positivity of Hadamard powers of tridiagonal matrices

Let Mn(R) denotes the set of all n× n matrices over R. A matrix A ∈ Mn(R) is called nonnegative if all its entries are nonnegative. In this paper, every matrix belongs to Mn(R), and is nonnegative
