The Construction Of Maximum Independent Set Of Matrices Via Clifford Algebras, Nedi̇m Deği̇rmenci̇, Nüli̇fer Özdemi̇r

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In [1], [2] and [6] the maximum number of some special type n x n matrices with elements in F whose nontrivial linear combinations with real coefficients are nonsingular is studied where F is the real field R, the complex field C or the skew field H of quaternions. In this work we construct such matrices explicitly by using representations of Clifford algebras. At the end we give some analogues of the celebrated theorem of Radon-Hurwitz.
