An explicit formula of Hessian determinants of composite functions and its applications
A game is considered where the communication network of the first player is explicitly modelled. The second player may induce delays in this network, while the first player may counteract such actions. Costs are modelled through expectations over idempotent probability measures. The idempotent probabilities are conditioned by observational data, the arrival of which may have been delayed along the communication network. This induces a game where the state space consists of the network delays. Even...
In this short note we provide an extension of the notion of Hessenberg matrix and observe an identity between the determinant and the permanent of such matrices. The celebrated identity due to Gibson involving Hessenberg matrices is consequently generalized.
Suppose that is an nonnegative matrix whose eigenvalues are . Fiedler and others have shown that , for all , with equality for any such if and only if is the simple cycle matrix. Let be the signed sum of the determinants of the principal submatrices of of order , . We use similar techniques to Fiedler to show that Fiedler’s inequality can be strengthened to: , for all . We use this inequality to derive the inequality that: . In the spirit of a celebrated conjecture due to Boyle-Handelman,...
