Diffeomorphisms of Rn with oscillatory jacobians.

Waldyr M. Oliva, Nelson M. Kuhl, Luiz T. Magalhâes (1993)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

The paper presents, mainly, two results: a new proof of the spectral properties of oscillatory matrices and a transversality theorem for diffeomorphisms of Rn with oscillatory jacobian at every point and such that NM(f(x) - f(y)) ≤ NM(x - y) for all elements x,y ∈ Rn, where NM(x) - 1 denotes the maximum number of sign changes in the components zi of z ∈ Rn, where all zi are non zero and z varies in a small neighborhood of x. An application to a semiimplicit discretization of the scalar heat equation...

Directed forests with application to algorithms related to Markov chains

Piotr Pokarowski (1999)

Applicationes Mathematicae

This paper is devoted to computational problems related to Markov chains (MC) on a finite state space. We present formulas and bounds for characteristics of MCs using directed forest expansions given by the Matrix Tree Theorem. These results are applied to analysis of direct methods for solving systems of linear equations, aggregation algorithms for nearly completely decomposable MCs and the Markov chain Monte Carlo procedures.

Discrete-time symmetric polynomial equations with complex coefficients

Didier Henrion, Jan Ježek, Michael Šebek (2002)

Kybernetika

Discrete-time symmetric polynomial equations with complex coefficients are studied in the scalar and matrix case. New theoretical results are derived and several algorithms are proposed and evaluated. Polynomial reduction algorithms are first described to study theoretical properties of the equations. Sylvester matrix algorithms are then developed to solve numerically the equations. The algorithms are implemented in the Polynomial Toolbox for Matlab.

Dissident algebras

Ernst Dieterich (1999)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Given a euclidean vector space V = (V,〈〉) and a linear map η: V ∧ V → V, the anti-commutative algebra (V,η) is called dissident in case η(v ∧ w) ∉ ℝv ⊕ ℝw for each pair of non-proportional vectors (v,w) ∈ V 2 . For any dissident algebra (V,η) and any linear form ξ: V ∧ V → ℝ, the vector space ℝ × V, endowed with the multiplication (α,v)(β,w) = (αβ -〈v,w〉+ ξ(v ∧ w), αw + βv + η(v ∧ w)), is a quadratic division algebra. Up to isomorphism, each real quadratic division algebra arises in this way. Vector...

Dissident maps on the seven-dimensional Euclidean space

Ernst Dieterich, Lars Lindberg (2003)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Our article contributes to the classification of dissident maps on ℝ ⁷, which in turn contributes to the classification of 8-dimensional real division algebras. We study two large classes of dissident maps on ℝ ⁷. The first class is formed by all composed dissident maps, obtained from a vector product on ℝ ⁷ by composition with a definite endomorphism. The second class is formed by all doubled dissident maps, obtained as the purely imaginary parts of the structures of those 8-dimensional...

Distances on the tropical line determined by two points

María Jesús de la Puente (2014)

Kybernetika

Let p ' and q ' be points in n . Write p ' q ' if p ' - q ' is a multiple of ( 1 , ... , 1 ) . Two different points p and q in n / uniquely determine a tropical line L ( p , q ) passing through them and stable under small perturbations. This line is a balanced unrooted semi-labeled tree on n leaves. It is also a metric graph. If some representatives p ' and q ' of p and q are the first and second columns of some real normal idempotent order n matrix A , we prove that the tree L ( p , q ) is described by a matrix F , easily obtained from A . We also prove that...
