SynopsisThis paper is concerned with some properties of an ordinary symmetric matrix differential expression M, denned on a certain class of vector-functions, each of which is defined on the real line. For such a vector-function F we have M[F] = −F“ + QF on R, where Q is an n × n matrix whose elements are reasonably behaved on R. M is classified in an equivalent of the limit-point condition at the singular points ± ∞, and conditions on the matrix coefficient Q are given which place M, when n> 1, in the equivalent of the strong limit-point for the case n = 1. It is also shown that the same condition on Q establishes the integral inequality for a certain class of vector-functions F.

A numerical method for determining the Titchmarsh-Weyl m ( λ ) function for the singular eigenvalue equation – ( py' )' + qy = λwy on [ a ,∞), where a is finite, is presented. The algorithm, based on Weyl’s theory, utilizes a result first used by Atkinson to map a point on the real line onto the Weyl circle in the complex plane. In the limit-point case these circles ‘nest’ and tend to the limit-point m ( λ ). Using Weyl’s result for the diameter of the circles, error estimates for m ( λ ) are obtained. In 1971, W. N. Everitt obtained an extension of an integral inequality of Hardy-Littlewood, namely the help inequality. He showed that the existence of that inequality is determined by the properties of the null set of Im[ λ 2 m ( λ )]. In view of the major difficulties in analysing m ( λ ) even in the rare cases when it is given explicitly, very few examples of the help inequality are known. The computational techniques discussed in this paper have been applied to the problem of finding best constants in these inequalities.

We shall be concerned at first with some properties of the solutions of the matrix differential equation1.1whereis an n × n symmetric matrix whose elements are continuous real-valued functions for 0 < x < ∞, and Y(x) = (yij(x)), Y″(x) = (y″ ij(x)) are n × n matrices. It is clear such equations possess solutions for 0 < x < ∞, since one can reduce them to a first-order system and then apply known existence theorems (6, Chapter 1).

We show that the matrix A(g), representing the element g = ((xy)2(xy2)2)m (m ≥ 1) of the modular group PSL(2,Z) = 〈x,y : x2 = y3 = 1〉, where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], is a 2 × 2 symmetric matrix whose entries are Pell numbers and whose trace is a Pell–Lucas number. If g fixes elements of [Formula: see text], where d is a square-free positive number, on the circuit of the coset diagram, then d = 2 and there are only four pairs of ambiguous numbers on the circuit.

We study the induced spherical ensemble of non-Hermitian matrices with real quaternion entries (considering each quaternion as a [Formula: see text] complex matrix). We define the ensemble by the matrix probability distribution function that is proportional to [Formula: see text] These matrices can also be constructed via a procedure called ‘inducing’, using a product of a Wishart matrix (with parameters [Formula: see text]) and a rectangular Ginibre matrix of size [Formula: see text]. The inducing procedure imposes a repulsion of eigenvalues from [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] in the complex plane with the effect that in the limit of large matrix dimension, they lie in an annulus whose inner and outer radii depend on the relative size of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. By using functional differentiation of a generalized partition function, we make use of skew-orthogonal polynomials to find expressions for the eigenvalue [Formula: see text]-point correlation functions, and in particular the eigenvalue density (given by [Formula: see text]). We find the scaled limits of the density in the bulk (away from the real line) as well as near the inner and outer annular radii, in the four regimes corresponding to large or small values of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. After a stereographic projection, the density is uniform on a spherical annulus, except for a depletion of eigenvalues on a great circle corresponding to the real axis (as expected for a real quaternion ensemble). We also form a conjecture for the behavior of the density near the real line based on analogous results in the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] ensembles; we support our conjecture with data from Monte Carlo simulations of a large number of matrices drawn from the [Formula: see text] induced spherical ensemble. This ensemble is a quaternionic analog of a model of a one-component charged plasma on a sphere, with soft wall boundary conditions.

SynopsisThis paper is concerned with the L2 classification of ordinary symmetrical differential expressions defined on a half-line [0, ∞) and obtained from taking formal polynomials of symmetric differential expression. The work generalises results in this area previously obtained by Chaudhuri, Everitt, Giertz and the author.
