In the proseminar we treat the theory of total positive matrices. That are matrices whose minors are positive. We will consider topics such as:

- properties of total positive matrices

- creterions to determine total positivity

- examples

- different applications: factorisation, eigen values, combinatorics, ...

As main literature we will use the book "Totally positive matrices" of Allan Pinkus.

The proseminar also can be charged as a seminar. Each participant has to give a 45 minutes talk (charging as a seminar: 60 minutes talk) and additionally hand in an elaboration in LaTeX.

The seminar takes place on thursdays, 12.30pm. The room is usually the 5 (Rochusstr. 2-14, ground floor). However, on 10/24/2019 and on 12/05/2019 the proseminar takes place in SG 202 in the seminar building.

All talks are already distributed. The room for the seminar will be anounced on this webpage at a later date.

If you are interested in participation, please register in advance by mail to Verity Mackscheidt (mackscheidt@mathb.rwth-aachen.de). Please also write in your mail whether you want to get charged the proseminar as such one or as a seminar.
