The point equation of the associated curve of the indefinite numerical range is derived, following Fiedler’s approach for definite inner product spaces. The classification of the associated curve is presented in the indefinite case, using Newton’s classification of cubic curves. Illustrative examples of all the different possibilities are given. The results obtained extend to Krein spaces results of Kippenhahn on the classical numerical range.
Quadratic forms on a free finite-dimensional module are investigated. It is shown that the inertial law can be suitably generalized provided the vector space is replaced by a free finite-dimensional module over a certain linear algebra over ( real plural algebra) introduced in [1].
In this paper the problem of construction of the canonical matrix belonging to symplectic forms on a module over the so called plural algebra (introduced in [5]) is solved.
This work is concerned with the existence and regularity of solutions to the Neumann problem associated with a Ornstein–Uhlenbeck operator on a bounded and smooth convex set K of a Hilbert space H. This problem is related to the reflection problem associated with a stochastic differential equation in K.
We give a short overview on the subject of canonical reduction of a pair of bilinear forms, each being symmetric or alternating, making use of the classification of pairs of linear mappings between vector spaces given by J. Dieudonné.
Une vive querelle oppose en 1874 Camille Jordan et Leopold Kronecker sur l’organisation de la théorie des formes bilinéaires, considérée comme permettant un traitement « général » et « homogène » de nombreuses questions développées dans des cadres théoriques variés au xixe siècle et dont le problème principal est reconnu comme susceptible d’être résolu par deux théorèmes énoncés indépendamment par Jordan et Weierstrass. Cette controverse, suscitée par la rencontre de deux théorèmes que nous considérerions...
In this article, we formalize the definition of lattice of ℤ-module and its properties in the Mizar system [5].We formally prove that scalar products in lattices are bilinear forms over the field of real numbers ℝ. We also formalize the definitions of positive definite and integral lattices and their properties. Lattice of ℤ-module is necessary for lattice problems, LLL (Lenstra, Lenstra and Lovász) base reduction algorithm [14], and cryptographic systems with lattices [15] and coding theory [9]....
In this paper, we define bi-linear games as a generalization of the bimatrix games. In particular, we generalize concepts like the value and equilibrium of a bimatrix game to the general linear transformations defined on a finite dimensional space. For a special type of -transformation we observe relationship between the values of the linear and bi-linear games. Using this relationship, we prove some known classical results in the theory of linear complementarity problems for this type of -transformations....
La formule généralisant la loi de réciprocité quadratique de Legendre et exprimant le reste par huit de la signature d'une forme quadratique entière non dégénérée à l'aide d'une somme de Gauss est attribuée par Milnor à Milgram, la faisant remonter à Braun. Le formalisme de Witt la réduit au cas de dimension 1 que Chandrasekharan attribue à Cauchy et Kronecker. Braun soulignait que les preuves de ces formules nécessitent des moyens d'analyse. Une propriété métrique de l'octogone...
