Theorem 10 Let T :IRn IR m be a linear transformation. Then there exists a unique m n matrix A such that ! ⇥ T (x)=Ax for all x in IRn. In fact, A is the m n matrix whose jth column is the vector T (e ), with e IR n: ⇥ j j 2 A =[T (e ) T (e ) T (e )] 1 2 ··· n The matrix A is called the standard matrix for the linear transformation T .

Equivalent ways to state this definition are: Note: T is not onto IRm when there is some b in IRm for which the equation T (x)=b has no solution, or equivalently, whenever the is some b in IRm for which the system [A b] is inconsis- tent. | A mapping T :IRn IR m is one to one if each b in IRm is the image of at most one x in IRn. • !

  • Handout 9 More Matrix Properties; the Transpose
    Handout 9 More matrix properties; the transpose Square matrix properties These properties only apply to a square matrix, i.e. n £ n. ² The leading diagonal is the diagonal line consisting of the entries a11, a22, a33, . ann. ² A diagonal matrix has zeros everywhere except the leading diagonal. ² The identity matrix I has zeros o® the leading diagonal, and 1 for each entry on the diagonal. It is a special case of a diagonal matrix, and A I = I A = A for any n £ n matrix A. ² An upper triangular matrix has all its non-zero entries on or above the leading diagonal. ² A lower triangular matrix has all its non-zero entries on or below the leading diagonal. ² A symmetric matrix has the same entries below and above the diagonal: aij = aji for any values of i and j between 1 and n. ² An antisymmetric or skew-symmetric matrix has the opposite entries below and above the diagonal: aij = ¡aji for any values of i and j between 1 and n. This automatically means the digaonal entries must all be zero. Transpose To transpose a matrix, we reect it across the line given by the leading diagonal a11, a22 etc. In general the result is a di®erent shape to the original matrix: a11 a21 a11 a12 a13 > > A = A = 0 a12 a22 1 [A ]ij = A : µ a21 a22 a23 ¶ ji a13 a23 @ A > ² If A is m £ n then A is n £ m. > ² The transpose of a symmetric matrix is itself: A = A (recalling that only square matrices can be symmetric).

  • Geometric-Algebra Adaptive Filters Wilder B
    1 Geometric-Algebra Adaptive Filters Wilder B. Lopes∗, Member, IEEE, Cassio G. Lopesy, Senior Member, IEEE Abstract—This paper presents a new class of adaptive filters, namely Geometric-Algebra Adaptive Filters (GAAFs). They are Faces generated by formulating the underlying minimization problem (a deterministic cost function) from the perspective of Geometric Algebra (GA), a comprehensive mathematical language well- Edges suited for the description of geometric transformations. Also, (directed lines) differently from standard adaptive-filtering theory, Geometric Calculus (the extension of GA to differential calculus) allows Fig. 1. A polyhedron (3-dimensional polytope) can be completely described for applying the same derivation techniques regardless of the by the geometric multiplication of its edges (oriented lines, vectors), which type (subalgebra) of the data, i.e., real, complex numbers, generate the faces and hypersurfaces (in the case of a general n-dimensional quaternions, etc. Relying on those characteristics (among others), polytope). a deterministic quadratic cost function is posed, from which the GAAFs are devised, providing a generalization of regular adaptive filters to subalgebras of GA. From the obtained update rule, it is shown how to recover the following least-mean squares perform calculus with hypercomplex quantities, i.e., elements (LMS) adaptive filter variants: real-entries LMS, complex LMS, that generalize complex numbers for higher dimensions [2]– and quaternions LMS. Mean-square analysis and simulations in [10]. a system identification scenario are provided, showing very good agreement for different levels of measurement noise. GA-based AFs were first introduced in [11], [12], where they were successfully employed to estimate the geometric Index Terms—Adaptive filtering, geometric algebra, quater- transformation (rotation and translation) that aligns a pair of nions.

  • Determinants Math 122 Calculus III D Joyce, Fall 2012
    Determinants Math 122 Calculus III D Joyce, Fall 2012 What they are. A determinant is a value associated to a square array of numbers, that square array being called a square matrix. For example, here are determinants of a general 2 × 2 matrix and a general 3 × 3 matrix. a b = ad − bc: c d a b c d e f = aei + bfg + cdh − ceg − afh − bdi: g h i The determinant of a matrix A is usually denoted jAj or det (A). You can think of the rows of the determinant as being vectors. For the 3×3 matrix above, the vectors are u = (a; b; c), v = (d; e; f), and w = (g; h; i). Then the determinant is a value associated to n vectors in Rn. There's a general definition for n×n determinants. It's a particular signed sum of products of n entries in the matrix where each product is of one entry in each row and column. The two ways you can choose one entry in each row and column of the 2 × 2 matrix give you the two products ad and bc. There are six ways of chosing one entry in each row and column in a 3 × 3 matrix, and generally, there are n! ways in an n × n matrix. Thus, the determinant of a 4 × 4 matrix is the signed sum of 24, which is 4!, terms. In this general definition, half the terms are taken positively and half negatively. In class, we briefly saw how the signs are determined by permutations.

  • Matrices and Tensors
    APPENDIX MATRICES AND TENSORS A.1. INTRODUCTION AND RATIONALE The purpose of this appendix is to present the notation and most of the mathematical tech- niques that are used in the body of the text. The audience is assumed to have been through sev- eral years of college-level mathematics, which included the differential and integral calculus, differential equations, functions of several variables, partial derivatives, and an introduction to linear algebra. Matrices are reviewed briefly, and determinants, vectors, and tensors of order two are described. The application of this linear algebra to material that appears in under- graduate engineering courses on mechanics is illustrated by discussions of concepts like the area and mass moments of inertia, Mohr’s circles, and the vector cross and triple scalar prod- ucts. The notation, as far as possible, will be a matrix notation that is easily entered into exist- ing symbolic computational programs like Maple, Mathematica, Matlab, and Mathcad. The desire to represent the components of three-dimensional fourth-order tensors that appear in anisotropic elasticity as the components of six-dimensional second-order tensors and thus rep- resent these components in matrices of tensor components in six dimensions leads to the non- traditional part of this appendix. This is also one of the nontraditional aspects in the text of the book, but a minor one. This is described in §A.11, along with the rationale for this approach. A.2. DEFINITION OF SQUARE, COLUMN, AND ROW MATRICES An r-by-c matrix, M, is a rectangular array of numbers consisting of r rows and c columns: ¯MM..

Desiderata Again, we review missing items in our development of linear algebra. We are missing a development of determinants of matrices whose entries may be in commutative rings, rather than fields. We would like an intrinsic definition of determinants of endomorphisms, rather than one that depends upon a choice of coordinates, even if we eventually prove that the determinant is independent of the coordinates. We anticipate that Artin's axiomatization of determinants of matrices should be mirrored in much of what we do here. We want a direct and natural proof of the Cayley-Hamilton theorem. Linear algebra over fields is insufficient, since the introduction of the indeterminate x in the definition of the characteristic polynomial takes us outside the class of vector spaces over fields. We want to give a conceptual proof for the uniqueness part of the structure theorem for finitely-generated modules over principal ideal domains. Multi-linear algebra over fields is surely insufficient for this. 417 418 Exterior powers 2. Definitions, uniqueness, existence Let R be a commutative ring with 1.

  • 5 the Dirac Equation and Spinors

The energy-momentum relationship is: p2 E = + U (5.3) 2m we can substitute the differential operators: ∂ Eˆ i pˆ i (5.4) → ∂t →− to obtain the non-relativistic Schr¨odinger Equation (with = 1): ∂ψ 1 i = 2 + U ψ (5.5) ∂t −2m For U = 0, the free particle solutions are: iEt ψ(x, t) e− ψ(x) (5.6) ∝ and the probability density ρ and current j are given by: 2 i ρ = ψ(x) j = ψ∗ ψ ψ ψ∗ (5.7) | | −2m − with conservation of probability giving the continuity equation: ∂ρ + j =0, (5.8) ∂t · Or in Covariant notation: µ µ ∂µj = 0 with j =(ρ,j) (5.9) The Schr¨odinger equation is 1st order in ∂/∂t but second order in ∂/∂x. However, as we are going to be dealing with relativistic particles, space and time should be treated equally. 25 5.3 The Klein-Gordon Equation For a relativistic particle the energy-momentum relationship is: p p = p pµ = E2 p 2 = m2 (5.10) · µ − | | Substituting the equation (5.4), leads to the relativistic Klein-Gordon equation: ∂2 + 2 ψ = m2ψ (5.11) −∂t2 The free particle solutions are plane waves: ip x i(Et p x) ψ e− · = e− − · (5.12) ∝ The Klein-Gordon equation successfully describes spin 0 particles in relativistic quan- tum field theory.

  • The Tensor of Inertia C Alex R
    Lecture 14 Wedneday - February 22, 2006 Written or last updated: February 23, 2006 P442 – Analytical Mechanics - II The Tensor of Inertia c Alex R. Dzierba We will work out some specific examples of problems using moments of inertia. Example 1 y R M m = M/4 x A Figure 1: A disk and a point mass Figure 1 shows a thin uniform disk of mass M and radius R in the x, y plane. The z axis is out of the paper. A point mass m = M/4 is attached to the edge of the disk as shown. The inertia tensor of the disk alone about its center of mass is: 1 0 0 MR2 0 1 0 4 0 0 2 (A) Find the inertia tensor of the disk alone about the point A. (B) Find the inertia tensor of the point mass alone about the point A. (C) For the combined tensor from the above two parts – find the principal moments. SOLUTION First look at the disk alone. When we go from the center of mass of the disk to point A the moment of 2 2 2 2 inertia about the z axis goes from Izz = MR /2 to MR /2 + MR = 3MR /2 by the parallel axis theorem. The moment of inertia about the y axis clearly does not change when we go from the center of mass of the 2 disk to point A so that remains as Iyy = MR /4. But the perpendicular axis theorem holds for a lamina so 2 Ixx + Iyy = Izz or Ixx = 5MR /4.

  • Mathematics 552 Algebra II Spring 2017 the Exterior Algebra of K
    Mathematics 552 Algebra II Spring 2017 The exterior algebra of K-modules and the Cauchy-Binet formula Let K be a commutative ring, and let M be a K-module. Recall that the tensor ⊗i algebra T (M) = ⊕i=0M is an associative K-algebra and that if M is free of finite rank ⊗k m with basis v1; : : : ; vm then T (M) is a graded free K module with basis for M given ⊗k by the collection of vi1 ⊗ vi2 ⊗ · · · vik for 1 ≤ it ≤ m. Hence M is a free K-module of rank mk. We checked in class that the tensor algebra was functorial, in that when f : M ! N is a K-module homomorphism, then the induced map f ⊗i : M ⊗i ! N ⊗i gives a homomorphism of K-algebras T (f): T (M) ! T (N) and that this gives a functor from K-modules to K-algebras. The ideal I ⊂ T (M) generated by elements of the form x ⊗ x for x 2 M enables us to construct an algebra Λ(M) = T (M)=I. Since (v+w)⊗(v+w) = v⊗v+v⊗w+w⊗v+w⊗w we have that (modulo I) v ⊗ w = −w ⊗ v. The image of M ⊗i in Λ(M) is denoted Λi(M), the i-th exterior power of M. The product in Λ(M) derived from the product on T (M) is usually called the wedge product : v ^ w is the image of v ⊗ w in T (M)=I. Since making tensor algebra of modules is functorial, so is making the exterior algebra.
