Characterizing and Testing Principal Minor Equivalence of Matrices

Abstract

Two matrices are said to be principal minor equivalent if they have equal corresponding principal minors of all orders. In this talk, we discuss a characterization of principal minor equivalence and a deterministic polynomial time algorithm to check if two given matrices are principal minor equivalent. If time permits, we also discuss an application of it.

The talk is based on a joint work with Abhranil Chatterjee, Rohit Gurjar, and Roshan Raj.
