Square Matrix

In this paper a denotes a square matrix with real or complex elements (though the theorems and their proofs are valid in any Banach algebra). Its spectral radius p(a) is given by with any matrix norm (see [4], p. 183). If p(a) < 1 and n is a positive integer then the binomial series converges and its sum satisfies S(a)n = (1−a)−1. Let where q is any integer exceeding 1. Then u(a) is the sum of the first q terms of the series (2). Write and let a0, a1, a2,…be the sequence of matrices obtained by the iterative procedure Defining polynomials φ0(x), φ1(x), φ2(x),…inductively by we have aν = φν (a) and therefore aμaν = aνaμ for all 4 μ, ν. The following is proved in section 2: Theorem 1. If ρ(a) < 1 thenconverges and P(a) = S(a). Furthermore, if p(a) < r < 1, thenfor all ν, where M depends on r and a but is independent of ν and q.

If A is a complex Banach algebra (not necessarily unital) and x∈A, σ(x) will denote the spectrum and spectral radius of x in A. If I is a closed two-sided ideal in A let x + I denote the coset in the quotient algebra A/I containing x. Then

The purpose of this note is to show that, for any algebraic element a of a Banach algebra and certain analytic functions f, one can give an upper bound for ‖f(a)‖ in terms of ‖a‖ and the spectral radius ρ(a) of a. To illustrate the nature of the result, consider the norms of powers of an element a of unit norm. In general, the spectral radius formulacontains all that can be said (that is, the limit ρ(a) can be approached arbitrarily slowly). If we have the additional information that a is algebraic of degree n we can say a good deal more. In the case of a C*-algebra we have the neat result that, if ‖a‖ ≤ 1,(see Theorem 2), while for a general Banach algebra we have at least

Analytical Expressions

The beautiful infinite product of radicalsdue to Vieta [1] in 1592, is one of the oldest non-iterative analytical expressions for π, In a previous paper [2] the author proved the following two Vieta-like products:for N even, andfor N odd. Here N is a positive integer, FN and LN are the Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, and is the golden section. (The Fibonacci numbers are F1 = 1, F2 = 1, with the recursion relation , while the Lucas numbers are L1 = 1, L2 = 3 with the same recursion relation )

For a fixed positive integer m, factorial m is defined byThe problem of finding a formula extending the factorial m! to positive real values of m was posed by D. Bernoulli and C. Goldbach and solved by Euler. In his letter of 13 October 1729 to Goldbach [1], Euler defined a function (which we denote as Γ (x + 1)) by means ofand showed that Γ (m + 1) = m! for positive integers m. After that, Euler found representations for the so-called gamma function (1) in terms of either an infinite product or an improper integral. We refer the reader to the classical (and short) treatise [2] for a brief introduction and main properties of the gamma function.

For any positive integers n and v letwhere d runs through all the positive divisors of n. For each positive integer k and real x > 1, denote by N(v, k; x) the number of positive integers n ≦ x for which σv(n) is not divisible by k. Then Watson [6] has shown that, when v is odd,as x → ∞; it is assumed here and throughout that v and k are fixed and independent of x. It follows, in particular, that σ (n) is almost always divisible by k. A brief account of the ideas used by Watson will be found in § 10.6 of Hardy's book on Ramanujan [2].

This paper is concerned with the numbers which are relatively prime to a given positive integerwhere the p's are the distinct prime factors of n. Since these numbers recur periodically with period n, it suffices to study the ϕ(n) numbers ≤n and relatively prime to n.

Letso thatKis the field of Puiseux expansions with coefficients ink(each element ofKis a formal power series intl/rfor some positive integerr). It is well-known thatKis algebraically closed if and only ifkis of characteristic zero [1, p. 61]. For examples relating to ramified extensions of fields with valuation [9, §6] it is useful to have a field analogous toKwhich is algebraically closed whenkhas non-zero characteristicp. In this paper, I prove that the setLof all formal power series of the form Σaitei(where (ei) is well-ordered,ei=mi|nprt,n∈ Ζ,mi∈ Ζ,ai∈k,ri∈ Ν) forms an algebraically closed field.
