A journal affiliated with the International Linear Algebra Society (ILAS)

Linear Algebra and its Applications publishes articles that contribute new information or new insights to matrix theory and finite dimensional linear algebra in their:
• algebraic, • analytic, • arithmetic, • combinatorial, • geometric, • numerical aspects.

It also publishes articles that give significant applications of matrix theory or linear algebra to other branches of mathematics and to other sciences provided they contain ideas and/or statements that are interesting from linear algebra point of view.
Expository articles are occasionally published provided they concern an essential topic.

Articles that have previously been published - fully or in part - in conference or similar proceedings which have been made available outside of the conference should not be submitted for publication in Linear Algebra and Its Applications.

In addition to regular issues, special issues are published which focus on a theme of current interest, which honor a prominent individual within the field of linear algebra, or which are devoted to papers presented at a conference. Inquiries should be addressed to one of the editors-in-chief.

This journal has an Open Archive. All published items, including research articles, have unrestricted access and will remain permanently free to read and download 48 months after publication. All papers in the Archive are subject to Elsevier's user license.
