Publisher's Synopsis
This volume aims to gather information from both those who work on linear algebra problems in which combinatorial or graph-theoretical analysis is a major component, and those that work on combinatorial or graph-theoretical problems for which linear algebra is a major tool. Specific topics covered in the papers include matrix problems and results in symbolic dynamics, block-triangular decompositions of mixed matrices, algebraic and geometric properties of Laplacian matrices of graphs, the use of eigenvalues in combinatorial optimization, perturbation effects on rank and eigenvalues, and polynomial spaces.
