โฆ Synopsis
Let T be a skew-symmetric Toeplitz matrix with entries in a ยฎnite ยฎeld. For all positive integers n let n be the upper n ร n corner of T, with nullity m n m n . The sequence fm n X n P Ng satisยฎes a unimodality property and is eventually periodic if the entries of T satisfy a periodicity condition. We compute the maximum value and the period of the nullity sequence for Toeplitz matrices of ยฎnite bandwidth. This sequence satisยฎes a certain symmetry condition about its maximal values. These results apply to give some information about the ranks of general skew-symmetric Toeplitz matrices with eventually periodic entries.

In the present paper we study the computation of the rank of a block bidiagonal Toeplitz (BBT) sequence of matrices. We propose matrix-based, numerical and symbolical, updating and direct methods, computing the rank of BBT matrices and comparing them with classical procedures. The methods deploy the
