On the orbit of the centralizer of a matrix

Ching-I Hsin (2002)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let A be a complex n × n matrix. Let A' be its commutant in Mₙ(ℂ), and C(A) be its centralizer in GL(n,ℂ). Consider the standard C(A)-action on ℂⁿ. We describe the C(A)-orbits via invariant subspaces of A'. For example, we count the number of C(A)-orbits as well as that of invariant subspaces of A'.

On tropical Kleene star matrices and alcoved polytopes

María Jesús de la Puente (2013)

Kybernetika

In this paper we give a short, elementary proof of a known result in tropical mathematics, by which the convexity of the column span of a zero-diagonal real matrix A is characterized by A being a Kleene star. We give applications to alcoved polytopes, using normal idempotent matrices (which form a subclass of Kleene stars). For a normal matrix we define a norm and show that this is the radius of a hyperplane section of its tropical span.

Operator inequalities of Jensen type

M. S. Moslehian, J. Mićić, M. Kian (2013)

Topological Algebra and its Applications

We present some generalized Jensen type operator inequalities involving sequences of self-adjoint operators. Among other things, we prove that if f : [0;1) → ℝ is a continuous convex function with f(0) ≤ 0, then [...] for all operators Ci such that [...] (i=1 , ... , n) for some scalar M ≥ 0, where [...] and [...]

Product of operators and numerical range preserving maps

Chi-Kwong Li, Nung-Sing Sze (2006)

Studia Mathematica

Let V be the C*-algebra B(H) of bounded linear operators acting on the Hilbert space H, or the Jordan algebra S(H) of self-adjoint operators in B(H). For a fixed sequence (i₁, ..., iₘ) with i₁, ..., iₘ ∈ 1, ..., k, define a product of A , . . . , A k V by A * * A k = A i A i . This includes the usual product A * * A k = A A k and the Jordan triple product A*B = ABA as special cases. Denote the numerical range of A ∈ V by W(A) = (Ax,x): x ∈ H, (x,x) = 1. If there is a unitary operator U and a scalar μ satisfying μ m = 1 such that ϕ: V → V has the form A...
