Numerical Linear Algebra ROLF RANNACHER Cover-Bild 2 ii About this book: This introductory text is based on lectures within a multi-semester course on “Numerical Mathematics” taught by the author at Heidelberg University. The present volume treats algorithms for solving basic problems from Linear Algebra such as (large) systems of linear equations and corresponding eigenvalue problems. Theoretical as well as practical aspects are considered. Applications are found in the discretization of partial differential equations and in spectral stability analysis. As prerequisite only that prior knowledge is required as is usually taught in the introductory Analysis and Linear Algebra courses. For supporting self-study each chapter contains exercises with solutions collected in the appendix.

for solving problems in Linear Algebra, such as linear algebraic systems and corresponding matrix eigenvalue problems. The emphasis is on iterative methods suitable for large-scale problems arising, e. g., in the discretization of partial differential equations and in network problems. 0.1 Basic notation of Linear Algebra and Analysis At first, we introduce some standard notation in the context of (finite dimensional) vector spaces of functions and their derivatives. Let K denote the field of real or complex numbers R or C , respectively. Accordingly, for n ∈ N ,let Kn denote the n-dimensional vector space of n-tuples x =(x1,...,xn) with components xi ∈ K,i=1,...,n.For these addition and scalar multiplication are defined by: x + y := (x1 + y1,...,xn + yn),αx:= (αx1,...,αxn),α∈ K. The elements x ∈ Kn are, depending on the suitable interpretation, addressed as “points” or “vectors” . Here, one may imagine x as the end point of a vector attached at the origin 1 of the chosen Cartesian coordinate system and the components xi as its “coordinates” with respect to this coordinate system. In general, we consider vectors as “column vec- T tors”. Within the “vector calculus” its row version is written as (x1,...,xn) .The null (or zero) vector (0,...,0) may also be briefly written as 0 . Usually, we prefer this coordinate-oriented notation over a coordinate-free notation because of its greater clearness. A set of vectors {a1,...,ak} in Kn is called “linearly independent” if k i cia =0,ci ∈ K ⇒ ci =0,i=1,...,k. i=1 Such a set of k = n linearly independent vectors is called a “basis” of Kn ,whichspans all of Kn , i. e., each element x ∈ Kn can be (uniquely) written as a linear combination of the form n i x = cia ,ci ∈ K. i=1 Each (finite dimensional) vector space, such as Kn , possesses a basis. The special “Carte- 1 n i sian basis” {e ,...,e } is formed by the “Cartesian unit vectors” e := (δ1i,...,δni), δii =1 and δij =0,for i = j, being the usual Kronecker symbol.

    Special Western Canada Linear Algebra Meeting (17w2668) Hadi Kharaghani (University of Lethbridge), Shaun Fallat (University of Regina), Pauline van den Driessche (University of Victoria) July 7, 2017 – July 9, 2017 1 History of this Conference Series The Western Canada Linear Algebra meeting, or WCLAM, is a regular series of meetings held roughly once every 2 years since 1993. Professor Peter Lancaster from the University of Calgary initiated the conference series and has been involved as a mentor, an organizer, a speaker and participant in all of the ten or more WCLAM meetings. Two broad goals of the WCLAM series are a) to keep the community abreast of current research in this discipline, and b) to bring together well-established and early-career researchers to talk about their work in a relaxed academic setting. This particular conference brought together researchers working in a wide-range of mathematical fields including matrix analysis, combinatorial matrix theory, applied and numerical linear algebra, combinatorics, operator theory and operator algebras. It attracted participants from most of the PIMS Universities, as well as Ontario, Quebec, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, Virginia, Iran, Japan, the Netherlands and Spain. The highlight of this meeting was the recognition of the outstanding and numerous contributions to the areas of research of Professor Peter Lancaster. Peter’s work in mathematics is legendary and in addition his footprint on mathematics in Canada is very significant. 2 Presentation Highlights The conference began with a presentation from Prof. Chi-Kwong Li surveying the numerical range and connections to dilation. During this lecture the following conjecture was stated: If A 2 M3 has no reducing eigenvalues, then there is a T 2 B(H) such that the numerical range of T is contained in that of A, and T has no dilation of the form I ⊗ A.

  • Social Choice Theory Christian List
    1 Social Choice Theory Christian List Social choice theory is the study of collective decision procedures. It is not a single theory, but a cluster of models and results concerning the aggregation of individual inputs (e.g., votes, preferences, judgments, welfare) into collective outputs (e.g., collective decisions, preferences, judgments, welfare). Central questions are: How can a group of individuals choose a winning outcome (e.g., policy, electoral candidate) from a given set of options? What are the properties of different voting systems? When is a voting system democratic? How can a collective (e.g., electorate, legislature, collegial court, expert panel, or committee) arrive at coherent collective preferences or judgments on some issues, on the basis of its members’ individual preferences or judgments? How can we rank different social alternatives in an order of social welfare? Social choice theorists study these questions not just by looking at examples, but by developing general models and proving theorems. Pioneered in the 18th century by Nicolas de Condorcet and Jean-Charles de Borda and in the 19th century by Charles Dodgson (also known as Lewis Carroll), social choice theory took off in the 20th century with the works of Kenneth Arrow, Amartya Sen, and Duncan Black. Its influence extends across economics, political science, philosophy, mathematics, and recently computer science and biology. Apart from contributing to our understanding of collective decision procedures, social choice theory has applications in the areas of institutional design, welfare economics, and social epistemology. 1. History of social choice theory 1.1 Condorcet The two scholars most often associated with the development of social choice theory are the Frenchman Nicolas de Condorcet (1743-1794) and the American Kenneth Arrow (born 1921).

  • A Short Course on Approximation Theory
    A Short Course on Approximation Theory N. L. Carothers Department of Mathematics and Statistics Bowling Green State University ii Preface These are notes for a topics course offered at Bowling Green State University on a variety of occasions. The course is typically offered during a somewhat abbreviated six week summer session and, consequently, there is a bit less material here than might be associated with a full semester course offered during the academic year. On the other hand, I have tried to make the notes self-contained by adding a number of short appendices and these might well be used to augment the course. The course title, approximation theory, covers a great deal of mathematical territory. In the present context, the focus is primarily on the approximation of real-valued continuous functions by some simpler class of functions, such as algebraic or trigonometric polynomials. Such issues have attracted the attention of thousands of mathematicians for at least two centuries now. We will have occasion to discuss both venerable and contemporary results, whose origins range anywhere from the dawn of time to the day before yesterday. This easily explains my interest in the subject. For me, reading these notes is like leafing through the family photo album: There are old friends, fondly remembered, fresh new faces, not yet familiar, and enough easily recognizable faces to make me feel right at home. The problems we will encounter are easy to state and easy to understand, and yet their solutions should prove intriguing to virtually anyone interested in mathematics. The techniques involved in these solutions entail nearly every topic covered in the standard undergraduate curriculum.

    MSc in Applied Mathematics Title: Past, Present and Challenges in Yang-Mills Theory Author: José Luis Tejedor Advisor: Sebastià Xambó Descamps Department: Departament de Matemàtica Aplicada II Academic year: 2011-2012 PAST, PRESENT AND CHALLENGES IN YANG-MILLS THEORY Jos´eLuis Tejedor June 11, 2012 Abstract In electrodynamics the potentials are not uniquely defined. The electromagnetic field is un- changed by gauge transformations of the potential. The electromagnestism is a gauge theory with U(1) as gauge group. C. N. Yang and R. Mills extended in 1954 the concept of gauge theory for abelian groups to non-abelian groups to provide an explanation for strong interactions. The idea of Yang-Mills was criticized by Pauli, as the quanta of the Yang-Mills field must be massless in order to maintain gauge invariance. The idea was set aside until 1960, when the concept of particles acquiring mass through symmetry breaking in massless theories was put forward. This prompted a significant restart of Yang-Mills theory studies that proved succesful in the formula- tion of both electroweak unification and quantum electrodynamics (QCD). The Standard Model combines the strong interaction with the unified electroweak interaction through the symmetry group SU(3) ⊗ SU(2) ⊗ U(1). Modern gauge theory includes lattice gauge theory, supersymme- try, magnetic monopoles, supergravity, instantons, etc. Concerning the mathematics, the field of Yang-Mills theories was included in the Clay Mathematics Institute's list of \Millenium Prize Problems". This prize-problem focuses, especially, on a proof of the conjecture that the lowest excitations of a pure four-dimensional Yang-Mills theory (i.e.

  • On Operator Whose Norm Is an Eigenvalue
    BULLETIN OF THE INSTITUTE OF MATHEMATICS ACADEMIA SINICA Volume 31, Number 1, March 2003 ON OPERATOR WHOSE NORM IS AN EIGENVALUE BY C.-S. LIN (林嘉祥) Dedicated to Professor Carshow Lin on his retirement Abstract. We present in this paper various types of char- acterizations of a bounded linear operator T on a Hilbert space whose norm is an eigenvalue for T , and their consequences are given. We show that many results in Hilbert space operator the- ory are related to such an operator. In this article we are interested in the study of a bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space H whose norm is an eigenvalue for the operator. Various types of characterizations of such operator are given, and consequently we see that many results in operator theory are related to such operator. As the matter of fact, our study is motivated by the following two results: (1) A linear compact operator on a locally uniformly convex Banach sapce into itself satisfies the Daugavet equation if and only if its norm is an eigenvalue for the operator [1, Theorem 2.7]; and (2) Every compact operator on a Hilbert space has a norm attaining vector for the operator [4, p.85]. In what follows capital letters mean bounded linear operators on H; T ∗ and I denote the adjoint operator of T and the identity operator, re- spectively. We shall recall some definitions first.

  • Pseudospectra and Linearization Techniques of Rational Eigenvalue Problems
    Pseudospectra and Linearization Techniques of Rational Eigenvalue Problems Axel Torshage May 2013 Masters’sthesis 30 Credits Umeå University Supervisor - Christian Engström Abstract This thesis concerns the analysis and sensitivity of nonlinear eigenvalue problems for matrices and linear operators. The …rst part illustrates that lack of normal- ity may result in catastrophic ill-conditioned eigenvalue problem. Linearization of rational eigenvalue problems for both operators over …nite and in…nite dimen- sional spaces are considered. The standard approach is to multiply by the least common denominator in the rational term and apply a well known linearization technique to the polynomial eigenvalue problem. However, the symmetry of the original problem is lost, which may result in a more ill-conditioned problem. In this thesis, an alternative linearization method is used and the sensitivity of the two di¤erent linearizations are studied. Moreover, this work contains numeri- cally solved rational eigenvalue problems with applications in photonic crystals. For these examples the pseudospectra is used to show how well-conditioned the problems are which indicates whether the solutions are reliable or not.

  • Zonotopal Algebra and Forward Exchange Matroids
    Zonotopal algebra and forward exchange matroids Matthias Lenz1,2 Technische Universit¨at Berlin Sekretariat MA 4-2 Straße des 17. Juni 136 10623 Berlin GERMANY Abstract Zonotopal algebra is the study of a family of pairs of dual vector spaces of multivariate polynomials that can be associated with a list of vectors X. It connects objects from combinatorics, geometry, and approximation theory. The origin of zonotopal algebra is the pair (D(X), P(X)), where D(X) denotes the Dahmen–Micchelli space that is spanned by the local pieces of the box spline and P(X) is a space spanned by products of linear forms. The first main result of this paper is the construction of a canonical basis for D(X). We show that it is dual to the canonical basis for P(X) that is already known. The second main result of this paper is the construction of a new family of zonotopal spaces that is far more general than the ones that were recently studied by Ardila–Postnikov, Holtz–Ron, Holtz–Ron–Xu, Li–Ron, and others. We call the underlying combinatorial structure of those spaces forward exchange matroid. A forward exchange matroid is an ordered matroid together with a subset of its set of bases that satisfies a weak version of the basis exchange axiom.
