These are called direct problems in vibration and powerful analytical and nu- merical methods are available nowadays for their solution. However, when one studies a phenomenon which is governed by the equations of classical dynamics, the application of the model to real life situa- tions often requires the knowledge of constitutive and/or geometrical parameters which in the direct formulation are considered as part of the data, whereas, in practice, they are not completely known or are inaccessible to direct measurements. Therefore, in several areas in applied science and technology, one has to deal with inverse problems in vibration, that is problems in which the roles of the unknowns and the data is reversed, at least in part. For example, one of the basic problems in the direct vibration theory - for infinitesimal undamped free vibrations - is the determination of the natural frequencies and normal modes of the vibrating body, assuming that the stiffness and mass coefficients are known. In the context of inverse theory, on the contrary, one is dealing with the construction of a model of a given type (i.e., a mass-spring system, a string, a beam) that has given eigenproperties. In addition to its applications, the study of inverse problems in vibration has also inherent mathematical interest, since the issues en- countered have remarkable features in terms of originality and tech- nical difficulty, when compared with the classical problems of direct vibration theory. In fact, inverse problems do not usually satisfy the Hadamard postulates of well-posedeness, also, in many cases, they are extremely non-linear, even if the direct problem is linear. In most cases, in order to overcome such obstacles, it is impossible to invoke all-purpose, ready made, theoretical procedures. Instead, it is neces- sary to single out a suitable approach and trade-off with the intrinsic ill-posedeness by using original ideas and a deep use of mathematical methods from various areas. Another specific and fundamental aspect of the study of inverse problems in vibration concerns the numerical treatment and the development of ad-hoc strategies for the treatment of ill-conditioned, linear and non-linear problems. Finally, when in- verse techniques are applied to the study of real problems, additional obstructions arise because of the complexity of mechanical modelling, the inadequacy of the analytical models used for the interpretation of the experiments, measurement errors and incompleteness of the field data. Therefore, of particular relevance for practical applications is to assess the robustness of the algorithms to measurement errors and to the accuracy of the analytical models used to describe the physical phenomenon. The purpose of the CISM course entitled “Dynamical Inverse Prob- lems: Theory and Application”, held in Udine on May 25-29 2009, was to present a state-of-the-art overview of the general aspects and practical applications of dynamic inverse methods, through the in- teraction of several topics, ranging from classical and advanced in- verse problems in vibration, isospectral systems, dynamic methods for structural identification, active vibration control and damage detec- tion, imaging shear stiffness in biological tissues, wave propagation, computational and experimental aspects relevant for engineering prob- lems. The course was addressed to PhD students and researchers in civil and mechanic engineering, applied mathematics, academic and indus- trial researchers. In the first chapter Gladwell discusses matrix inverse eigenvalue problems. He describes the classical inverse problems for in-line sys- tems, such as discrete models of rods in longitudinal vibration and beams in flexural vibration. He illustrates the theory governing the formation of isospectral systems, and describe how it may be used to construct isospectral finite-element models of membranes. Through- out the chapter, emphasis is placed on ways of choosing data that lead to a realistic system. Morassi in the second chapter describes some classical approaches to the inversion of continuous second-order systems. Attention is focused on uniqueness, stability and existence results for Sturm-Liouville differential operators given in canonical form on a finite interval. A uniqueness result for a fourth order Euler- Bernoulli operator of the bending vibration of a beam is also discussed. The next chapter by R¨ohrl presents a method to numerically solve the Sturm-Liouville inverse problem using a least squares approach based on eigenvalue data. The potential and the boundary conditions are estimated from two sequences of spectral data in several exam- ples. Theorems show why this approach works particularly well. An introduction to the Boundary Control method (BC-method) for solv- ing inverse problems is presented by Belishev in the fourth chapter. In particular, the one-dimensional version of the BC-method is used for two dynamical inverse problems. The first problem is to recover the potential in a Sturm-Liouville operator describing the transverse vibration of a semi-infinite taut string with constant linear mass den- sity by time-history measurements at the endpoint of the string. The second problem deals with a second-order vectorial dynamical system governing, for example, the longitudinal vibration of two semi-infinite connected beams having constant linear mass densities. An inverse problem is to recover the matrix coefficients of the lower order terms via time-domain measurements at the endpoint of the beam. Con- nections between the BC-method and asymptotic methods in PDEs, functional analysis, control and system theory, are especially investi- gated in this chapter. In the fifth chapter Vestroni and Pau introduce dynamic methods for dynamic characterization and damage identifi- cation of civil engineering structures. Indeterminacy and difficulties in modal identification and model updating are discussed with refer- ence to several experimental cases of masonry structures. A dam- age identification procedure in a steel arch with concentrate damage is also presented. Eigenvalue assignment problems in vibration are presented by Mottershead, Tehrani and Ram in the sixth chapter. Procedures are described for pole placement by passive modification and active control using measured receptances. The theoretical basis of the method is described and experimental implementation is ex- plained. The book ends with the lectures by Oberai and Barbone on inverse problems in biomechanical imaging. The authors briefly de- scribe the clinical relevance of these problems and how the measured data is acquired. Attention is focused on two distinct strategies for solving these problems. These include a direct approach that is fast but relies on the availability of complete interior displacement mea- surements. The other is an iterative approach that is computationally intensive but is able to handle incomplete interior data and is robust to noise. Graham M.L.

Gladwell Department of Civil Engineering, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada Abstract The term matrix eigenvalue problems refers to the com- putation of the eigenvalues of a symmetric matrix. By contrast, the term inverse matrix eigenvalue problem refers to the construction of a symmetric matrix from its eigenvalues. While matrix eigen- value problems are well posed, inverse matrix eigenvalue problems are ill posed: there is an infinite family of symmetric matrices with given eigenvalues. This means that either some extra constraints must be imposed on the matrix, or some extra information must be supplied. These lectures cover four main areas: i) Classical inverse problems relating to the construction of a tridiagonal matrix from its eigenvalues and the first (or last) components of its eigenvectors. ii) Application of these results to the construction of simple in-line mass-spring systems, and a discussion of extensions of these results to systems with tree structure. iii) Isospectral systems (systems that all

    ON GENERALIZATION OF CLASSICAL HURWITZ STABILITY CRITERIA FOR MATRIX POLYNOMIALS XUZHOU ZHAN AND ALEXANDER DYACHENKO Abstract. In this paper, we associate a class of Hurwitz matrix polynomi- als with Stieltjes positive definite matrix sequences. This connection leads to an extension of two classical criteria of Hurwitz stability for real polynomials to matrix polynomials: tests for Hurwitz stability via positive definiteness of block-Hankel matrices built from matricial Markov parameters and via matricial Stieltjes continued fractions. We obtain further conditions for Hurwitz stability in terms of block-Hankel minors and quasiminors, which may be viewed as a weak version of the total positivity criterion. Keywords: Hurwitz stability, matrix polynomials, total positivity, Markov parameters, Hankel matrices, Stieltjes positive definite sequences, quasiminors 1. Introduction Consider a high-order differential system (n) (n−1) A0y (t) + A1y (t) + ··· + Any(t) = u(t); where A0;:::;An are complex matrices, y(t) is the output vector and u(t) denotes the control input vector. The asymptotic stability of such a system is determined by the Hurwitz stability of its characteristic matrix polynomial n n−1 F (z) = A0z + A1z + ··· + An; or to say, by that all roots of det F (z) lie in the open left half-plane <z < 0. Many algebraic techniques are developed for testing the Hurwitz stability of matrix polynomials, which allow to avoid computing the determinant and zeros: LMI approach [20, 21, 27, 28], the Anderson-Jury Bezoutian [29, 30], matrix Cauchy indices [6], lossless positive real property [4], block Hurwitz matrix [25], extended arXiv:1909.13402v1 [math.CA] 30 Sep 2019 Routh-Hurwitz array [14], argument principle [23] and so on.

F.D. Roosevelt, 1050 Brussels, Belgium Renaud WILMET The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21218, U.S.A Received 19 February 1988 Revised 7 December 1988 Abstract: The conditioning analysis of positive definite matrices by approximate LU factorizations is usually reduced to that of Stieltjes matrices (or even to more specific classes of matrices) by means of perturbation arguments like spectral equivalence. We show in the present work that a wider class, which we call “almost Stieltjes” matrices, can be used as reference class and that it has decisive advantages for the conditioning analysis of finite element approxima- tions of large multidimensional steady-state diffusion problems. Keywords: Iterative analysis, preconditioning, approximate factorizations, solution of finite element approximations to partial differential equations. 1. Introduction The conditioning analysis of positive definite matrices by approximate factorizations has been the subject of a geometrical approach by Axelsson and his coworkers [1,2,7,8] and of an algebraic approach by one of the authors [3-51. In both approaches, the main role is played by Stieltjes matrices to which other cases are reduced by means of spectral equivalence or by a similar perturbation argument. In applications to discrete partial differential equations, such arguments lead to asymptotic estimates which may be quite poor in nonasymptotic regions, a typical instance in large engineering multidimensional steady-state diffusion applications, as illustrated below.

  • Similarities on Graphs: Kernels Versus Proximity Measures1
    Similarities on Graphs: Kernels versus Proximity Measures1 Konstantin Avrachenkova, Pavel Chebotarevb,∗, Dmytro Rubanova aInria Sophia Antipolis, France bTrapeznikov Institute of Control Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Russia Abstract We analytically study proximity and distance properties of various kernels and similarity measures on graphs. This helps to understand the mathemat- ical nature of such measures and can potentially be useful for recommending the adoption of specific similarity measures in data analysis. 1. Introduction Until the 1960s, mathematicians studied only one distance for graph ver- tices, the shortest path distance [6]. In 1967, Gerald Sharpe proposed the electric distance [42]; then it was rediscovered several times. For some col- lection of graph distances, we refer to [19, Chapter 15]. Distances2 are treated as dissimilarity measures. In contrast, similarity measures are maximized when every distance is equal to zero, i.e., when two arguments of the function coincide. At the same time, there is a close relation between distances and certain classes of similarity measures. One of such classes consists of functions defined with the help of kernels on graphs, i.e., positive semidefinite matrices with indices corresponding to the nodes. Every kernel is the Gram matrix of some set of vectors in a Euclidean space, and Schoenberg’s theorem [39, 40] shows how it can be transformed into the matrix of Euclidean distances between these vectors. arXiv:1802.06284v1 [math.CO] 17 Feb 2018 Another class consists of proximity measures characterized by the trian- gle inequality for proximities.

  • Facts from Linear Algebra
    Appendix A Facts from Linear Algebra Abstract We introduce the notation of vector and matrices (cf. Section A.1), and recall the solvability of linear systems (cf. Section A.2). Section A.3 introduces the spectrum σ(A), matrix polynomials P (A) and their spectra, the spectral radius ρ(A), and its properties. Block structures are introduced in Section A.4. Subjects of Section A.5 are orthogonal and orthonormal vectors, orthogonalisation, the QR method, and orthogonal projections. Section A.6 is devoted to the Schur normal form (§A.6.1) and the Jordan normal form (§A.6.2). Diagonalisability is discussed in §A.6.3. Finally, in §A.6.4, the singular value decomposition is explained. A.1 Notation for Vectors and Matrices We recall that the field K denotes either R or C. Given a finite index set I, the linear I space of all vectors x =(xi)i∈I with xi ∈ K is denoted by K . The corresponding square matrices form the space KI×I . KI×J with another index set J describes rectangular matrices mapping KJ into KI . The linear subspace of a vector space V spanned by the vectors {xα ∈V : α ∈ I} is denoted and defined by α α span{x : α ∈ I} := aαx : aα ∈ K . α∈I I×I T Let A =(aαβ)α,β∈I ∈ K . Then A =(aβα)α,β∈I denotes the transposed H matrix, while A =(aβα)α,β∈I is the adjoint (or Hermitian transposed) matrix. T H Note that A = A holds if K = R . Since (x1,x2,...) indicates a row vector, T (x1,x2,...) is used for a column vector.

  • Localization in Matrix Computations: Theory and Applications
    Localization in Matrix Computations: Theory and Applications Michele Benzi Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Emory University, Atlanta, GA 30322, USA. Email: [email protected] Summary. Many important problems in mathematics and physics lead to (non- sparse) functions, vectors, or matrices in which the fraction of nonnegligible entries is vanishingly small compared the total number of entries as the size of the system tends to infinity. In other words, the nonnegligible entries tend to be localized, or concentrated, around a small region within the computational domain, with rapid decay away from this region (uniformly as the system size grows). When present, localization opens up the possibility of developing fast approximation algorithms, the complexity of which scales linearly in the size of the problem. While localization already plays an important role in various areas of quantum physics and chemistry, it has received until recently relatively little attention by researchers in numerical linear algebra. In this chapter we survey localization phenomena arising in various fields, and we provide unified theoretical explanations for such phenomena using general results on the decay behavior of matrix functions. We also discuss compu- tational implications for a range of applications. 1 Introduction In numerical linear algebra, it is common to distinguish between sparse and dense matrix computations. An n ˆ n sparse matrix A is one in which the number of nonzero entries is much smaller than n2 for n large. It is generally understood that a matrix is dense if it is not sparse.1 These are not, of course, formal definitions. A more precise definition of a sparse n ˆ n matrix, used by some authors, requires that the number of nonzeros in A is Opnq as n Ñ 8.

C. Y. CHINe AND R. KRASNY' Abstract. An accurate and efficient numerical method has been developed for a nonlinear stiff second order two-point boundary value problem. The scheme combines asymptotic methods with the usual solution techniques for two-point boundary value problems. A new modification of Newton's method or quasilinear- ization is used to reduce the nonlinear problem to a sequence of linear problems. The resultant linear problem is solved by patching local solutions at the knots or equivalently by projecting onto an affine subset constructed from asymptotic expansions. In this way, boundary layers are naturally incorporated into the approximation. An adaptive mesh is employed to achieve an error of O(1/N2)+O(/e). Here, N is the number of intervals and e << is the singular perturbation parameter. Numerical computations are presented.

Finite sets S of p oints in a Euclidean space the mutual distances of which satisfy the ultrametric inequality A; B maxfA; C ;C; B g for all p oints in S are investigated and geometrically characterized. Inspired by results on ultrametric matrices and previous results on simplices, connections with so-called centered metric trees as well as with strongly isosceles right simplices are found.

[1], a metric is called ultrametric if 1 A; B maxA; C ;C; B holds for all p oints A; B ; C , of the space. Let us observe already at this p oint that if A; B and C are mutually distinct p oints, then they are vertices of an isosceles triangle in which the length of the base do es not exceed the lengths of the legs. This is the reason why ultrametric spaces are also called isosceles spaces. It is well known [5, Theorem 1] that every nite ultrametric space consisting of n + 1 distinct p oints can b e isometrically emb edded into a p oint Euclidean n- dimensional space but not into suchann 1-dimensional space.

Given a limited amount of memory and a target accuracy, we propose and compare several polynomial Krylov methods for the approximation of f(A)b, the action of a Stieltjes matrix function of a large Hermitian matrix on a vector. Using new error bounds and estimates, as well as existing results, we derive predictions of the practical performance of the methods, and rank them accordingly. As by-products, we derive new results on inexact Krylov iterations for matrix functions in order to allow for a fair comparison of rational Krylov methods with polynomial inner solves.
