Neural networks identify totally positive matrices via characteristic polynomial coefficients

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have explored the use of neural network classifiers to distinguish totally positive matrices from non-totally positive ones by analyzing the highest-order coefficients of their characteristic polynomials. The study found that coefficients a_{n-1}, a_{n-2}, and a_{n-3} provide significant discriminatory information, particularly in higher dimensions. Different families of totally positive matrices exhibit distinct geometric signatures in this three-dimensional coefficient space, suggesting a conjecture about their separation based on these coefficients.

    Totally Positive Matrices and the Highest-Order Coefficients of the Characteristic Polynomial

    arXiv:2607.18148v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We investigate the extent to which totally positive matrices can be distinguished through the highest-order coefficients of their characteristic polynomials. To identify the most informative coefficients, we also employed neural-net…
