Key Points

The research aims to classify finite-dimensional congruence-based extractor regimes for structured matrices.
Investigated three extractor regimes: Pascal, geometric/differencing, and hybrid extractors.
Proved diagonal collapse for binomial-convolution kernels and identity collapse for cumulative covariance kernels.
Presented an obstruction family demonstrating failures of collapse in congruence-type extractors.
Exact collapses were established for different extractor classes on specific matrix types.
An obstruction family was identified, indicating collapse failures on alternating blocks.
The comparative classification highlights when each extractor class is native to various matrix families.

Abstract

This paper studies three finite-dimensional congruence-based extractor regimes for structured matrices: Pascal extraction, geometric/differencing extraction, and hybrid extractors generated from both. It proves exact diagonal collapse for binomial-convolution kernels Bₙ (w) = Pₙ diag (w₀, …, wₙ₋₁) Pₙᵀ, exact identity collapse for cumulative covariance kernels Σₙ (q) = Gₙ (q) Gₙ (q) ᵀ, and exact hybrid collapse for the mixed family Mₙᵐix = Pₙ Σₙ Pₙᵀ. It also gives an obstruction family Ω₂ₘ = diag (J, …, J), with J = [0, 1, −1, 0], showing that diagonal collapse fails for all congruence-type extractors on alternating blocks. The paper’s main contribution is a comparative classification of when Pascal, differencing, and hybrid extractor classes are structurally native to a matrix family.
