Matrices over commutative rings as sum of higher powers

Abstract

On the Waring's problems for matrices over a commutative ring, there are some trace conditions provided for matrices eligibly expressed as a sum of $k$-th powers with $k=2,3,4,5,6,7,8$ in several literatures. In this paper, we provide the similar conditions for matrices written as a sum of $k$-th powers with $k=9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16$.
