We give a basis for the space spanned by the sum ^s of the lowest degree terms in the expansion of the Schur symmetric functions s in terms of the power sum
An algorithm for computing primary roots of a nonsingular matrix A is presented. In particular, it computes the principal root of a real matrix having no nonpositive real eigenvalu...
Abstract. We investigate two associative products over the ring of symmetric functions related to the intransitive and Cartesian products of permutation groups. As an application, ...
