Generalized tournament matrices with the same principal minors
Abderrahim Boussaïri, Abdelhak Chaïchaâ, Brahim Chergui +1
A generalized tournament matrix is a nonnegative matrix that satisfies , where is the all ones matrix and is the identity matrix. In this paper, a characte…
Critical 3-hypergraphs (detailed version)
Abderrahim Boussairi, Brahim Chergui, Pierre Ille +1
Given a 3-hypergraph , a subset of is a module of if for each such that and , there exists …
On the spectral reconstruction problem for digraphs
Edward Bankoussou-mabiala, Abderrahim Boussaïri, Abdelhak Chaïchaâ +2
The idiosyncratic polynomial of a graph with adjacency matrix is the characteristic polynomial of the matrix , where is the identity matrix and is th…
3-uniform hypergraphs: modular decomposition and realization by tournaments
Abderrahim Boussaïri, Brahim Chergui, Pierre Ille +1
Let be a 3-uniform hypergraph. A tournament defined on is a realization of if the edges of are exactly the 3-element subsets of that induce 3-cyc…
A transformation that preserves principal minors of skew-symmetric matrices
Abderrahim Boussaïri, Brahim Chergui
Our motivation comes from the work of Engel and Schneider (1980). Their main theorem implies that two symmetric matrices have equal corresponding principal minors of all orders if…
