Introduction. Let A be a positive self-adjoint linear operator from H to H, where H is a real separable Hilbert space with inner product denoted by (·, ·). Our aim is to build estimates of the trace of Aq, for q ∈ R. These estimates are obtained by extrapolation of the integer moments (z, Anz) of A, for n ∈ N. A similar procedure was first introduced in [3] for estimating the Euclidean norm of the error when solving a system of linear equations, which corresponds to q = −2. The case q = −1, which leads to estimates of the trace of the inverse of a matrix, was studied in [4]; on this problem, see [10]. Let us mention that, when only positive powers of A are used, the Hilbert space H could be infinite dimensional, while, for negative powers of A, it is always assumed to be a finite dimensional one, and, obviously, A is also assumed to be invertible.

  • Appendix a Spinors in Four Dimensions
    Appendix A Spinors in Four Dimensions In this appendix we collect the conventions used for spinors in both Minkowski and Euclidean spaces. In Minkowski space the flat metric has the 0 1 2 3 form ηµν = diag(−1, 1, 1, 1), and the coordinates are labelled (x ,x , x , x ). The analytic continuation into Euclidean space is madethrough the replace- ment x0 = ix4 (and in momentum space, p0 = −ip4) the coordinates in this case being labelled (x1,x2, x3, x4). The Lorentz group in four dimensions, SO(3, 1), is not simply connected and therefore, strictly speaking, has no spinorial representations. To deal with these types of representations one must consider its double covering, the spin group Spin(3, 1), which is isomorphic to SL(2, C). The group SL(2, C) pos- sesses a natural complex two-dimensional representation. Let us denote this representation by S andlet us consider an element ψ ∈ S with components ψα =(ψ1,ψ2) relative to some basis. The action of an element M ∈ SL(2, C) is β (Mψ)α = Mα ψβ. (A.1) This is not the only action of SL(2, C) which one could choose. Instead of M we could have used its complex conjugate M, its inverse transpose (M T)−1,or its inverse adjoint (M †)−1. All of them satisfy the same group multiplication law. These choices would correspond to the complex conjugate representation S, the dual representation S,and the dual complex conjugate representation S. We will use the following conventions for elements of these representations: α α˙ ψα ∈ S, ψα˙ ∈ S, ψ ∈ S, ψ ∈ S.

  • Appendix A: Matrices and Tensors
    Appendix A: Matrices and Tensors A.1 Introduction and Rationale The purpose of this appendix is to present the notation and most of the mathematical techniques that will be used in the body of the text. The audience is assumed to have been through several years of college level mathematics that 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 undergraduate 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 products. The solutions to ordinary differential equations are reviewed in the last two sections. The notation, as far as possible, will be a matrix notation that is easily entered into existing symbolic computational programs like Maple, Mathematica, Matlab, and Mathcad etc. 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 represent these components in matrices of tensor components in six dimensions leads to the nontraditional 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 Sect. A.11, along with the rationale for this approach.

  • 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).

  • On Manifolds of Tensors of Fixed Tt-Rank
    ON MANIFOLDS OF TENSORS OF FIXED TT-RANK SEBASTIAN HOLTZ, THORSTEN ROHWEDDER, AND REINHOLD SCHNEIDER Abstract. Recently, the format of TT tensors [19, 38, 34, 39] has turned out to be a promising new format for the approximation of solutions of high dimensional problems. In this paper, we prove some new results for the TT representation of a tensor U ∈ Rn1×...×nd and for the manifold of tensors of TT-rank r. As a first result, we prove that the TT (or compression) ranks ri of a tensor U are unique and equal to the respective seperation ranks of U if the components of the TT decomposition are required to fulfil a certain maximal rank condition. We then show that d the set T of TT tensors of fixed rank r forms an embedded manifold in Rn , therefore preserving the essential theoretical properties of the Tucker format, but often showing an improved scaling behaviour. Extending a similar approach for matrices [7], we introduce certain gauge conditions to obtain a unique representation of the tangent space TU T of T and deduce a local parametrization of the TT manifold. The parametrisation of TU T is often crucial for an algorithmic treatment of high-dimensional time-dependent PDEs and minimisation problems [33]. We conclude with remarks on those applications and present some numerical examples. 1. Introduction The treatment of high-dimensional problems, typically of problems involving quantities from Rd for larger dimensions d, is still a challenging task for numerical approxima- tion. This is owed to the principal problem that classical approaches for their treatment normally scale exponentially in the dimension d in both needed storage and computa- tional time and thus quickly become computationally infeasable for sensible discretiza- tions of problems of interest.

  • 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.

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
    5 The Dirac Equation and Spinors In this section we develop the appropriate wavefunctions for fundamental fermions and bosons. 5.1 Notation Review The three dimension differential operator is : ∂ ∂ ∂ = , , (5.1) ∂x ∂y ∂z We can generalise this to four dimensions ∂µ: 1 ∂ ∂ ∂ ∂ ∂ = , , , (5.2) µ c ∂t ∂x ∂y ∂z 5.2 The Schr¨odinger Equation First consider a classical non-relativistic particle of mass m in a potential U. 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.
