On the Application of Different Numerical Methods to Obtain Null-Spaces of Polynomial Matrices On the application of different numerical methods to obtain null-spaces of polynomial matrices. Part 1: block Toeplitz algorithms. J.C. Zu´niga˜ and D. Henrion Abstract— Four different algorithms are designed to obtain a polynomial matrix using these Toeplitz methods, in the the null-space of a polynomial matrix. In this first part we present work we develop four Toeplitz algorithms to obtain present two algorithms. These algorithms are based on classi- null-spaces of polynomial matrices. cal methods of numerical linear algebra, namely the reduction into the column echelon form and the LQ factorization.

Therefore, the eigenstructure of polynomial matrices N(s) or D(s) contains the structural information on the represented linear system and it can be used to solve several II. NULL-SPACE STRUCTURE control problems. Consider a k l polynomial matrix A(s) of degree d. In this paper we are interested in obtaining the null-spaces We define the null-space× of A(s) as the set of non-zero of polynomial matrices.

Abstract In this thesis, we study the problem of location of the zeros of individual polynomials in sequences of polynomials generated by linear recurrence relations. In paper I, we establish the necessary and sufficient conditions that guarantee hyperbolicity of all the polynomials generated by a three-term recurrence of length 2, whose coefficients are arbitrary real polynomials. These zeros are dense on the real intervals of an explicitly defined real semialgebraic curve. Paper II extends Paper I to three-term recurrences of length greater than 2. We prove that there always exist non- hyperbolic polynomial(s) in the generated sequence. We further show that with at most finitely many known exceptions, all the zeros of all the polynomials generated by the recurrence lie and are dense on an explicitly defined real semialgebraic curve which consists of real intervals and non-real segments. The boundary points of this curve form a subset of zero locus of the discriminant of the characteristic polynomial of the recurrence.

  • Explicit Inverse of a Tridiagonal (P, R)–Toeplitz Matrix
    Explicit inverse of a tridiagonal (p; r){Toeplitz matrix A.M. Encinas, M.J. Jim´enez Departament de Matemtiques Universitat Politcnica de Catalunya Abstract Tridiagonal matrices appears in many contexts in pure and applied mathematics, so the study of the inverse of these matrices becomes of specific interest. In recent years the invertibility of nonsingular tridiagonal matrices has been quite investigated in different fields, not only from the theoretical point of view (either in the framework of linear algebra or in the ambit of numerical analysis), but also due to applications, for instance in the study of sound propagation problems or certain quantum oscillators. However, explicit inverses are known only in a few cases, in particular when the tridiagonal matrix has constant diagonals or the coefficients of these diagonals are subjected to some restrictions like the tridiagonal p{Toeplitz matrices [7], such that their three diagonals are formed by p{periodic sequences. The recent formulae for the inversion of tridiagonal p{Toeplitz matrices are based, more o less directly, on the solution of second order linear difference equations, although most of them use a cumbersome formulation, that in fact don not take into account the periodicity of the coefficients. This contribution presents the explicit inverse of a tridiagonal matrix (p; r){Toeplitz, which diagonal coefficients are in a more general class of sequences than periodic ones, that we have called quasi{periodic sequences. A tridiagonal matrix A = (aij) of order n + 2 is called (p; r){Toeplitz if there exists m 2 N0 such that n + 2 = mp and ai+p;j+p = raij; i; j = 0;:::; (m − 1)p: Equivalently, A is a (p; r){Toeplitz matrix iff k ai+kp;j+kp = r aij; i; j = 0; : : : ; p; k = 0; : : : ; m − 1: We have developed a technique that reduces any linear second order difference equation with periodic or quasi-periodic coefficients to a difference equation of the same kind but with constant coefficients [3].

  • Toeplitz and Toeplitz-Block-Toeplitz Matrices and Their Correlation with Syzygies of Polynomials
    TOEPLITZ AND TOEPLITZ-BLOCK-TOEPLITZ MATRICES AND THEIR CORRELATION WITH SYZYGIES OF POLYNOMIALS HOUSSAM KHALIL∗, BERNARD MOURRAIN† , AND MICHELLE SCHATZMAN‡ Abstract. In this paper, we re-investigate the resolution of Toeplitz systems T u = g, from a new point of view, by correlating the solution of such problems with syzygies of polynomials or moving lines. We show an explicit connection between the generators of a Toeplitz matrix and the generators of the corresponding module of syzygies. We show that this module is generated by two elements of degree n and the solution of T u = g can be reinterpreted as the remainder of an explicit vector depending on g, by these two generators. This approach extends naturally to multivariate problems and we describe for Toeplitz-block-Toeplitz matrices, the structure of the corresponding generators. Key words. Toeplitz matrix, rational interpolation, syzygie 1. Introduction. Structured matrices appear in various domains, such as scientific computing, signal processing, . They usually express, in a linearize way, a problem which depends on less pa- rameters than the number of entries of the corresponding matrix. An important area of research is devoted to the development of methods for the treatment of such matrices, which depend on the actual parameters involved in these matrices. Among well-known structured matrices, Toeplitz and Hankel structures have been intensively studied [5, 6]. Nearly optimal algorithms are known for the multiplication or the resolution of linear systems, for such structure. Namely, if A is a Toeplitz matrix of size n, multiplying it by a vector or solving a linear system with A requires O˜(n) arithmetic operations (where O˜(n) = O(n logc(n)) for some c > 0) [2, 12].

  • A Note on Multilevel Toeplitz Matrices
    Spec. Matrices 2019; 7:114–126 Research Article Open Access Lei Cao and Selcuk Koyuncu* A note on multilevel Toeplitz matrices https://doi.org/110.1515/spma-2019-0011 Received August 7, 2019; accepted September 12, 2019 Abstract: Chien, Liu, Nakazato and Tam proved that all n × n classical Toeplitz matrices (one-level Toeplitz matrices) are unitarily similar to complex symmetric matrices via two types of unitary matrices and the type of the unitary matrices only depends on the parity of n. In this paper we extend their result to multilevel Toeplitz matrices that any multilevel Toeplitz matrix is unitarily similar to a complex symmetric matrix. We provide a method to construct the unitary matrices that uniformly turn any multilevel Toeplitz matrix to a complex symmetric matrix by taking tensor products of these two types of unitary matrices for one-level Toeplitz matrices according to the parity of each level of the multilevel Toeplitz matrices. In addition, we introduce a class of complex symmetric matrices that are unitarily similar to some p-level Toeplitz matrices. Keywords: Multilevel Toeplitz matrix; Unitary similarity; Complex symmetric matrices 1 Introduction Although every complex square matrix is similar to a complex symmetric matrix (see Theorem 4.4.24, [5]), it is known that not every n × n matrix is unitarily similar to a complex symmetric matrix when n ≥ 3 (See [4]). Some characterizations of matrices unitarily equivalent to a complex symmetric matrix (UECSM) were given by [1] and [3]. Very recently, a constructive proof that every Toeplitz matrix is unitarily similar to a complex symmetric matrix was given in [2] in which the unitary matrices turning all n × n Toeplitz matrices to complex symmetric matrices was given explicitly.

We use the shorthand n T = (ap−q )p,q=1 for a Toeplitz matrix. The inversion of a Toeplitz matrix is usually not a Toeplitz matrix. A very important step is to answer the question of how to reconstruct the inversion of a Toeplitz matrix by a low number of its columns and the entries of the original Toeplitz matrix. It was first observed by Trench [1] and rediscovered by Gohberg and Semencul [2] that T −1 can be reconstructed from its first and last columns provided that the first component of the first column does not vanish.

INTRODUCTION Most matrix forms that arise in the analysis of stationary stochastic processes, as in time series data, are of the so-called Toeplitz structure. The Toeplitz matrix, T, is important due to its distinctive property that the entries in the matrix depend only on the differences of the indices, and as a result, the elements on its principal diagonal as well as those lying within each of its subdiagonals are identical.

Schneider Abstract We describe the structure of the isometry group G of a finite-dimensional bilinear space over an algebra- ically closed field of characteristic not two. If the space has no indecomposable degenerate orthogonal summands of odd dimension, it admits a canonical orthogonal decomposition into primary components and G is isomorphic to the direct product of the isometry groups of the primary components. Each of the latter groups is shown to be isomorphic to the centralizer in some classical group of a nilpotent element in the Lie algebra of that group. In the general case, the description of G is more complicated. We show that G is a semidirect product of a normal unipotent subgroup K with another subgroup which, in its turn, is a direct product of a group of the type described in the previous paragraph and another group H which we can describe explicitly. The group H has a Levi decomposition whose Levi factor is a direct product of several general linear groups of various degrees. We obtain simple formulae for the dimensions of H and K. © 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Keywords: Bilinear space; Isometry group; Asymmetry; Gabriel block; Toeplitz matrix 1.
