Background– Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) may cause suppurative otitis externa with severe inflammation and ulceration in dogs. Multidrug resistance is commonly reported for this organism, creating a difficult therapeutic challenge. Objective– The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial activity of a gel containing 0.5 µg/mL of ...

Matrix measure and application to stability of matrices and interval dynamical systems
Using some properties of the matrix measure, we obtain a general condition for the stability of a convex hull of matrices that will be applied to study the stability of interval dynamical systems. Some classical results from stability theory are reproduced and extended.

The Dittert′s function on a set of nonnegative matrices
Let Kn denote the set of all n × n nonnegative matrices with entry sum n. For X ∈ Kn with row sum vector (r1, …, rn), column sum vector (c1, …, cn), Let ϕ(X)=∏iri+∏jcj−perX. Dittert′s conjecture asserts that ϕ(X) ≤ 2 − n!/nn for all X ∈ Kn with equality iff X = [1/n]n×n. This paper investigates some properties of a certain subclass of Kn related to the

Hermite-Biehler, Routh-Hurwitz, and total positivity [PDF]
Simple proofs of the Hermite-Biehler and Routh-Hurwitz theorems are presented. The total nonnegativity of the Hurwitz matrix of a stable real polynomial follows as an immediate corollary.

A note on infinite extreme correlation matrices [PDF]
We give a characterization for the extreme points of the convex set of correlation matrices with a countable index set. A Hermitian matrix is called a correlation matrix if it is positive semidefinite with unit diagonal entries. Using the characterization we show that there exist extreme points of any rank.

On description of bistochastic Kadison-Schwarz operators on M_2(C) [PDF]
In this paper we describe bistochastic Kadison-Schawrz operators on $M_2(\mathbb{C})$. Such a description allows us to find positive, but not Kadison-Schwarz operators. Moreover, by means of that characterization we construct Kadison-Schawrz operators, which are not completely positive.

On matrices with $Q^2$-scalings [PDF]
We provide a counterexample to some statements dealing with a sufficient property for the square of a matrix to be a $P_0^+$ -matrix.

A characterization of trace zero symmetric nonnegative 5x5 matrices [PDF]
The problem of determining necessary and sufficient conditions for a set of real numbers to be the eigenvalues of a symmetric nonnegative matrix is called the symmetric nonnegative inverse eigenvalue problem (SNIEP). In this paper we solve SNIEP in the case of trace zero symmetric nonnegative 5x5 matrices.

Perron-Frobenius theorem for nonnegative multilinear forms and extensions [PDF]
We prove an analog of Perron-Frobenius theorem for multilinear forms with nonnegative coefficients, and more generally, for polynomial maps with nonnegative coefficients. We determine the geometric convergence rate of the power algorithm to the unique normalized eigenvector.
