Email: [email protected] 1 1 Introduction Given a smooth function f : C ! C, it makes a priori no sense to talk about @f @f the Wirtinger derivatives and . We could define them by @z @z¯ @f 1 @f @f = − i @z 2 @x @y (1) @f 1 @f @f = + i @z¯ 2 @x @y but that does not explain why we denote them like partial derivatives, where the confusing sign convention comes from, why they behave like partial derivatives, and why they act on power series in z and z in the way they should. Here follows a construction of Wirtinger derivatives that avoids the explicit formula (1). The reader may be interested in the definitions in section 3, in the sanity check in Proposition 3.2, the chain rule from Proposition 4.3 and the results from section 6. 2 Partial derivatives revisited It is worthwhile to take a second look at what a partial derivative is. Con- sider finite-dimensional real vector spaces V and W .1 They carry a canonical smooth structure. Consider a differentiable function f : V ! W . At every point p 2 V , f has a differential Dpf : V ! W , an R-linear map. In order to talk about the partial derivatives of f, we need to fix a basis of V , say ∗ ∗ ∗ (e1; : : : ; en), which has a dual basis, (e1; : : : ; en). Here ei is characterized by ∗ the property that ei (ej) = δi;j. We can then define @f ∗ (p) := (Dpf)(ei)(2) @ei n Usually, we take V = R and let (ei) be the standard basis, whose dual we are used to denote by (xi). The same holds for a holomorphic map between complex vector spaces, where the differential Dpf is then C-linear. We see that a partial derivative really is a directional derivative, and we need not fix an entire basis to define the derivative in the direction of ei. However, in some situations, we are given a linear form e∗ 2 V ∗. In order 1We may and will also take W to be a complex vector space and regard it as a real one, by restriction of scalars. 2 to define the derivative w.r.t. e∗, we have to extend it to a basis of V ∗, in order to make sense of the antidual vector e 2 V . We recall: Proposition 2.1. Let k be a field and V a finite dimensional k-vector space. ∗ Then for every basis (xi) of V there is a unique basis (ei) of V such that ∗ (xi) = (ei ). ◦ We denote the unique antidual basis of (xi) by (xi ). When k 2 fR; Cg and ∗ (xi) is a basis of V , we thus have, for a linear map A : V ! W , @A ◦ (3) = A(xi ) @xi Note that the choice of a basis of V ∗ is implicit in the LHS. ∗ Proposition 2.2. Let (xi) be a basis of V and f : V ! W an isomorphism. Then ◦ −1 ◦ f(xi ) = (xi ◦ f ) Proof. It suffices to remark that −1 ◦ (xj ◦ f )(f(xi )) = δi;j 3 Complexification Now let W be a complex vector space and consider a differentiable function 2 2 2 f : R ! W . Take p 2 R . Then f has a differential Dpf : R ! C, which is R-linear. We would like to make sense of (@f=@z)(p), so we want to view 2 z andz ¯ as linear forms on R that form a basis of its dual. The solution 2 is to complexify R . Definition 3.1. Let V be a real vector space. Then there exists a complex vector space VC and an R-linear map ι : V ! VC such that for every R-linear map f : V ! W to a complex vector space, there exists a unique C-linear map Cf : VC ! W such that f = (Cf) ◦ ι: f V W ι Cf VC We call (VC; ι) a complexification of V . 3 This is a special case of the adjunction between the extension of scalars and restriction of scalars functors. We may indeed take VC = V ⊗R C. We call VC the complexification of V . This gives a functor: for real vector spaces V1;V2 and a linear map f : V1 ! V2, there is a unique C-linear map fC :(V1)C ! (V2)C such that the following diagram commutes: f V1 V2 ι1 ι2 fC (V1)C (V2)C In particular, a complexification is unique up to unique C-isomorphism that is compatible with the maps ι. n n If we denote ι1 : R ! C the inclusion, then we have (R )C = C where the n n canonical map ιn : R ! C is ι1 × · · · × ι1. 3.1 Complexified differentials: two variables 2 We have the R-linear map Dpf : R ! C. Passing to the complexification 2 2 of R , this gives us a canonical C-linear map CDpf : C ! C. We want to apply this map to an appropriate vector, and call the result (@f=@z)(p). To 2 do that, we introduce coordinates on C . 2 We have R-linear maps z; z¯ : R ! C. They give canonical C-linear maps 2 Cz; Cz¯ : C ! C, which are given in coordinates by (Cz)(z1; z2) = z1 + iz2 ; (Cz¯)(z1; z2) = z1 − iz2 2 ∗ They form a basis of the dual (C ) , and we define, in analogy to (3): @f ◦ (p) := (CDpf)((Cz) ) (4) @z @f (p) := ( D f)(( z¯)◦) @z¯ C p C It is a straightforward calculation that these definitions coincide with (1). ◦ 1 i t ◦ 1 i t Explicitly, (Cz) = ( 2 ; − 2 ) and (Cz¯) = ( 2 ; 2 ) . But we don't like to compute, so we will instead derive those formulas from the chain rule from Proposition 4.2. 3.2 Complexified differentials: multiple variables n Take n > 1 and let f : C ! C be differentiable. We denote the coordinates n on C by (zi). We want to understand what @f=@zi means. 4 n Take p 2 C . As in the two variable case, we have a C-linear map CDpf : 2n 2n C ! C, and we have coordinates Czi; Cz¯i on C . We define @f (p) := ( D f)(( z )◦) @z C p C i (5) i @f ◦ (p) := (CDpf)((Cz¯i) ) @z¯i Using the universal property of complexification, one verifies that these def- n initions do not depend on the choice of complexification of C . So far this was just language. What we really want is to answer the questions from the introduction. For now, we remark the following: n Proposition 3.2. Write the standard complex coordinates on C as (zi). Then @zi @z¯i = = δi;j @zj @z¯j @z @z¯ i = i = 0 @z¯j @zj n Proof. The map zi : C ! C is R-linear, so its differential equals itself: Dp(zi) = zi. Thus the extended differential CDp(zi) equals the coordinate 2n Czi of C . Similarly forz ¯i. The statement now follows from the definition of @=@zi and @=@z¯i, and the definition of the antidual basis. ◦ ◦ Defining the partial derivatives in terms of the antidual vectors (Czi) ; (Cz¯i) has a great advantage. We need not know exactly what those vectors are, yet 2n we know the coordinates of each w 2 C in this basis: they are zi(w); z¯i(w). This observation will serve us when we prove chain rules, in the next section. 3.3 Conjugation The end goal of this subsection is Proposition 3.5. The remainder of the text does not rely on it, so it may safely be skipped. For every R-automorphism σ of C, a complexification VC has a canonical R- automorphism given by 1 ⊗ σ : V ⊗R C ! V ⊗R C, conjugated by the unique ∼ C-isomorphism VC = V ⊗R C compatible with ι. This allows us to define conjugation on VC. The conjugation may also be constructed intrinsically as follows. Define another C-linear structure on VC by precomposing the ring representation C ! EndZ(VC) with complex conjugation. Call the resulting -vector space V 0 . We can define conjugation as the unique - C C C homomorphism V ! V 0 compatible with ι, given by the universal property C C 5 of VC. It is not hard to see that, because conjugation is an automorphism of , we have that (V 0 ; ι) is still a complexification of V , which implies that C C the conjugation on VC is an automorphism. More generally, given commutative rings A; B, a ring homomorphism g : A ! B, an A-endomorphism σ of B and an A-module M, the endomorphism σ induces a canonical A-linear M-endomorphism of the extension of scalars MB = g∗M. It can be constructed in two ways, as before. We denote it by M ⊗ σ, because we may also view it as the image of σ under the functor M ⊗ −. The map f = M ⊗ σ is σ-semilinear: it satisfies, by construction, f(lm) = σ(l)f(m) for m 2 MB, l 2 L. If M; N; P are B-modules, f : M ! N is a σ-semilinear and g : N ! P is τ-semilinear, then g ◦ f is (τ ◦ σ)-semilinear.

  • Phase Retrieval Via Wirtinger Flow: Theory and Algorithms
    Phase Retrieval via Wirtinger Flow: Theory and Algorithms Emmanuel J. Cand`es∗ Xiaodong Li† Mahdi Soltanolkotabi‡ July 3, 2014; Revised January 2015 Abstract We study the problem of recovering the phase from magnitude measurements; specifically, we wish to reconstruct a complex-valued signal x ∈ Cn about which we have phaseless samples of the 2 form yr = S⟨ar; x⟩S , r = 1; : : : ; m (knowledge of the phase of these samples would yield a linear system). This paper develops a non-convex formulation of the phase retrieval problem as well as a concrete solution algorithm. In a nutshell, this algorithm starts with a careful initialization obtained by means of a spectral method, and then refines this initial estimate by iteratively applying novel update rules, which have low computational complexity, much like in a gradient descent scheme. The main contribution is that this algorithm is shown to rigorously allow the exact retrieval of phase information from a nearly minimal number of random measurements. Indeed, the sequence of successive iterates provably converges to the solution at a geometric rate so that the proposed scheme is efficient both in terms of computational and data resources. In theory, a variation on this scheme leads to a near-linear time algorithm for a physically realizable model based on coded diffraction patterns. We illustrate the effectiveness of our methods with various experiments on image data. Underlying our analysis are insights for the analysis of non- convex optimization schemes that may have implications for computational problems beyond phase retrieval. 1 Introduction We are interested in solving quadratic equations of the form 2 yr = S⟨ar; z⟩S ; r = 1; 2; : : : ; m; (1.1) n n where z ∈ C is the decision variable, ar ∈ C are known sampling vectors, and yr ∈ R are observed measurements.

Received 2015 February 13; in original form 2014 October 30 ABSTRACT Recent developments in optimization theory have extended some traditional al- gorithms for least-squares optimization of real-valued functions (Gauss-Newton, Levenberg-Marquardt, etc.) into the domain of complex functions of a complex vari- able. This employs a formalism called the Wirtinger derivative, and derives a full- complex Jacobian counterpart to the conventional real Jacobian. We apply these de- velopments to the problem of radio interferometric gain calibration, and show how the general complex Jacobian formalism, when combined with conventional optimization approaches, yields a whole new family of calibration algorithms, including those for the polarized and direction-dependent gain regime. We further extend the Wirtinger calculus to an operator-based matrix calculus for describing the polarized calibration regime. Using approximate matrix inversion results in computationally efficient im- plementations; we show that some recently proposed calibration algorithms such as StefCal and peeling can be understood as special cases of this, and place them in the context of the general formalism. Finally, we present an implementation and some applied results of CohJones, another specialized direction-dependent calibration al- gorithm derived from the formalism.

  • Ising Model and Field Theory: Lattice Local Fields and Massive Scaling Limit
    Ising Model and Field Theory: Lattice Local Fields and Massive Scaling Limit Thèse N° 7741 Présentée le 9 septembre 2019 à la Faculté des sciences de base Chaire de théorie des champs statistiques Programme doctoral en mathématiques pour l’obtention du grade de Docteur ès Sciences par Sung Chul PARK Acceptée sur proposition du jury Prof. M. Troyanov, président du jury Prof. C. Hongler, directeur de thèse Prof. F. Viklund, rapporteur Prof. D. Chelkak, rapporteur Prof. R. Dalang, rapporteur 2019 Abstract This thesis is devoted to the study of the local fields in the Ising model. The scaling limit of the critical Ising model is conjecturally described by Conformal Field Theory. The explicit predictions for the building blocks of the continuum theory (spin and energy density) have been rigorously established [HoSm13, CHI15]. We study how the field-theoretic description of these random fields extends beyond the critical regime of the model. Concretely, the thesis consists of two parts: The first part studies the behaviour of lattice local fields in the critical Ising model. A lattice local field is a function of a finite number of spins at microscopic distances from a given point. We study one-point functions of these fields (in particular, their asymptotics under scaling limit and conformal invariance). Our analysis, based on discrete complex analysis methods, results in explicit computations which are of interest in applications (e.g. [HKV17]). The second part considers the behaviour of the massive spin field. In the subcritical massive scaling limit regime first considered by Wu, McCoy, Tracy, and Barouch [WMTB76], we show that the correlations of the massive spin field in a bounded domain have a scaling limit.

Master in electric Power Engineering Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira August 19, 2020 Abstract This work presents a tertiary control for microgrids considering renewable energy sources and energy storage devices. The proposed model considers the operation in 24h includ- ing capacity and grid-code limitations. The optimization problem under consideration is non-convex, therefore, the model is approximated to a convex representation, by using a linear formulation of the optimal power flow equations via Wirtinger’s calculus. As for the mathematical methodology, the use of convex optimization and Wirtinger calculus guarantee uniqueness of the solution, global optimality and convergence of the algorithms. These characteristics are key for applications in automation processes such as the tertiary control which requires real-time operation. The model is implemented in a low cost small single-board computer (Raspberry-pi) programmed in Python. Nu- merical experiments on the CIGRE low voltage test system demonstrate the usage of the model. 2 Contents 1 Introduction 6 1.1 Motivation . .6 1.2 State of the art . .7 1.3 Contribution . .9 1.4 Outline of the thesis . 10 2 Operation of microgrids 11 2.1 Hierarchical control .

  • Holomorphic Functions and Power Series
    Holomorphic Functions and Power Series Having studied the basic properties of the complex eld, we now study functions of a complex variable. We dene what it means for a complex-valued function dened on a domain in the com- plex plane to be complex-dierentiable. We then study the relationship between this new notion of dierentiability and the already familiar notion of real-dierentiability. Functions that are complex- dierentiable at every point in a domain are called holomorphic functions. For various reasons, which we shall study in great detail, a function being holomorphic is far more restrictive than the function being real-dierentiable. The focal point of this chapter will be power series and functions that have local power series expansions, i.e., analytic functions. The reason for this is two-fold: 1. The most important functions that arise in practice are analytic. 2. All holomorphic functions are analytic! The second point above will be one of the central theorems we will prove in this course. We end this chapter with a brief exposition of the exponential and trigonometric functions. Notation: Throughout this chapter, U will be a domain in C with a 2 U and f : U ! C. will be a function. 1 Holomorphic functions 1.1 Definitions and examples Denition 1. Let U ⊂ C be open and f : U ! C be a map and a 2 U . We say f is complex- dierentiable (C-dierentiable at a) if f (z) − f (a) lim 0,z!a z − a exists and in which case we denote the limit by f 0(a) and call it the complex derivative of f at a.

    On the nonlinear Cauchy-Riemann equations of structural transformation and nonlinear Laplace equation Gen Wang ∗ Department of Mathematics, Zhejiang Normal University, ZheJiang, Jinhua 321004, P.R.China. Abstract This paper aims at studying a functional K-transformation w (z) w (z) = → w (z) K (z) that is made to reconsider the complex differentiability for a given complex function w and subsequently we obtain structural holomorphic to judge a complexe function to be complex structural differentiable. Since K (z) can be chosen arbitrarily, thus it has greatly generalized the applied practicability. And we particularly consider K (z)=1+ κ (z), then we found an unique Carleman-Bers-Vekua equations which is more simpler that all coefficients are dependent to the structural function κ (z). The generalized exterior differential operator and the generalized Wirtinger derivatives are simultaneously obtained as well. As a discussion, second-order nonlinear Laplace equation is studied.
