C. Koukouvinos, M. Mitrouli and Jennifer Seberry, in "Growth in Gaussian elimination for weighing matrices, W(n, n — 1)", Linear Algebra and its Appl., 306 (2000), 189-202, conjectured that the growth factor for Gaussian elimination of any completely pivoted weighing matrix of order n and weight n — 1 is n — 1 and that the first and last few pivots are (1, 2, 2, 3 or 4, ... , n — 1 or n — 1) for n > 14. In the present paper we concentrate our study on the growth problem for the weighing matrix W(12, 11) and we …

C. Koukouvinos, M. Mitrouli and Jennifer Seberry, in "Growth in Gaussian elimination for weighing matrices, W (n, n — 1)", Linear Algebra and its Appl., 306 (2000), 189-202, conjectured that the growth factor for Gaussian elimination of any completely pivoted weighing matrix of order n and weight n— 1 is n— 1 and that the first and last few pivots are (1,2,2,3 or 4, ..., n–1 or (n–1)/2, , (n–1)/2, n–1) for n > 14. In the present paper we study the growth problem for skew and symmetric conference matrices. An algorithm for extending a k × k matrix with elements …


An Infinite Family Of Hadamard Matrices With Fourth Last Pivot N/2, C. Koukouvinos, M. Mitrouli, Jennifer Seberry Jan 2002

An Infinite Family Of Hadamard Matrices With Fourth Last Pivot N/2, C. Koukouvinos, M. Mitrouli, Jennifer Seberry

Faculty of Informatics - Papers (Archive)

We show that the equivalence class of Sylvester Hadamard matrices give an infinite family of Hadamard matrices in which the fourth last pivot is n/2 . Analytical examples of Hadamard matrices of order n having as fourth last pivot n/2 are given for n = 16 and 32. In each case this distinguished case with the fourth pivot n/2 arose in the equivalence class containing the Sylvester Hadamard matrix.

Values Of Minors Of An Infinite Family Of D-Optimal Designs And Their Application To The Growth Problem, C. Koukouvinos, M. Mitrouli, Jennifer Seberry

We obtain explicit formulae for the values of the 2v — j minors, j = 0, 1, 2 of D-optimal designs of order 2v = x2 + y2, v odd, where the design is constructed using two circulant or type 1 incidence matrices of either two SBIBD(2s2 + 2s + 1, s2, s2-s/2) or 2 — {2s2 + 2s + 1; s2, s2; s(s–1)} sds. This allows us to obtain information on the growth problem for families of matrices with moderate growth. Some of our theoretical formulae imply growth greater than 2(2s2 + 2s + 1) but experimentation has not …


On The Complete Pivoting Conjecture For Hadamard Matrices Of Small Orders, C. Koukouvinos, M. Mitrouli, Jennifer Seberry Jan 2001

On The Complete Pivoting Conjecture For Hadamard Matrices Of Small Orders, C. Koukouvinos, M. Mitrouli, Jennifer Seberry

Faculty of Informatics - Papers (Archive)

In this paper we study explicitly the pivot structure of Hadamard matrices of small orders 16, 20 and 32. An algorithm computing the (n — j) x (n — j) minors of Hadamard matrices is presented and its implementation for n = 12 is described. Analytical tables summarizing the pivot patterns attained are given.

Values Of Minors Of (1,-1) Incidence Matrices Of Sbibds And Their Application To The Growth Problem, C Koukouvinos, M Mitrouli, Jennifer Seberry

We obtain explicit formulae for the values of the v j minors, j = 0, 1,2 of (1, -1) incidence matrices of SBIBD(v, k, λ). This allows us to obtain explicit information on the growth problem for families of matrices with moderate growth. An open problem remains to establish whether the (1, -1) CP incidence matrices of SBIBD(v, k, λ), can have growth greater than v for families other than Hadamard families.

We consider the values for large minors of a skew-Hadamard matrix or conference matrix W of order n and find maximum n x n minor equals to (n — 1)n/2, maximum (n — 1) x (n — 1) minor equals to (n–1)n/2-1 maximum (n — 2) x (n — 2) minor equals to 2(n — 1) n/2–2, and maximum (n — 3) x (n — 3) minor equals to 4(n — 1)n/2-3. This leads us to conjecture that the growth factor for Gaussian elimination of completely pivoted skew-Hadamard or conference matrices and indeed any completely pivoted weighing matrix of order …
