The Hankel transform and some of its properties.
The maximum multiplicity of an eigenvalue in a matrix whose graph is a tree, M1, was understood fully (froma combinatorial perspective) by C.R. Johnson, A. Leal-Duarte (Linear Algebra and Multilinear Algebra 46 (1999) 139-144). Among the possible multiplicity lists for the eigenvalues of Hermitian matrices whose graph is a tree, we focus upon M2, the maximum value of the sum of the two largest multiplicities when the largest multiplicity is M1. Upper and lower bounds are given for M2. Using a combinatorial...
Standard facts about separating linear functionals will be used to determine how two cones and and their duals and may overlap. When is linear and and are cones, these results will be applied to and , giving a unified treatment of several theorems of the alternate which explain when contains an interior point of . The case when is the space of Hermitian matrices, is the positive semidefinite matrices, and yields new and known results about the existence of block diagonal...
Suppose has a 2-dimensional expanding subspace , satisfies a regularity condition, called “good star”, and has , where is an oriented compound of . A morphism of the free group on is called a non-abelianization of if it has structure matrix . We show that there is a tiling substitution whose “boundary substitution” is a non-abelianization of . Such a tiling substitution leads to a self-affine tiling of with as its expansion. In the last section we find conditions on so...
