Abstract We consider corner scattering for the operator ∇ · γ(x)∇ + k2ρ(x) in R2, with γ a positive definite symmetric matrix and ρ a positive scalar function. A corner is referred to one that is on the boundary of the (compact) support of γ(x) − I or ρ(x) − 1, where I stands for the identity matrix. We assume that γ is a scalar function in a small neighborhood of the corner. We show that any admissible incident field will be scattered by such corners, which are allowed to be concave. Moreover, we provide a brief discussion on the existence of non-scattering waves when γ − I has a jump across the corner. In order to prove the results, we construct a new type of complex geometric optics (CGO) solutions.

AbstractWe study special Lagrangian fibrations of SU(3)-manifolds, not necessarily torsion-free. In the case where the fiber is a unimodular Lie group G, we decompose such SU(3)-structures into triples of solder 1-forms, connection 1-forms and equivariant 3 × 3 positive-definite symmetric matrix-valued functions on principal G-bundles over 3-manifolds. As applications, we describe regular parts of G2-manifolds that admit Lagrangian-type 3-dimensional group actions by constrained dynamical systems on the spaces of the triples in the cases of G = T3 and SO(3).

Consider the linear ordinary differential equation1where x ∊ En, the n-dimensional Euclidean space and A is an n × n constant matrix. Using a matrix result of Sylvester and a stability result of Perron, Lyapunov [4] established the following theorem which is basic in the stability theory of ordinary differential equations:Theorem (Lyapunov). The following three statements are equivalent:(I) The spectrum σ(A) of A lies in the negative half plane.(II) Equation (1) is exponentially stable, i.e. there exist μ, K>0 such that every solution x(t) of (1) satisfies2where ∥ ∥ denotes the Euclidean norm.(III) There exists a positive definite symmetric matrix Q, i.e. Q=Q* and there exist q1,q2>0 such that3satisfying4where I is the identity matrix.

SummaryLet L be a positive definite symmetric matrix having a noncentral multivariate beta density of an arbitrary rank, see, e.g. Hayakawa ([2, p. 12, Equation 38]). Then an explicit procedure is given for decomposing the density of L in terms of densities of independent beta variates.

In this article, we described the equations of motion of a rigid solid by a matrix formulation. The matrices contained in our movement description are homogeneous to the same unit. Inertial characteristics are met in a 4x4 positive definite symmetric matrix called "tensor generalized Poinsot." This matrix consists of 3x3 positive definite symmetric matrix called "inertia tensor Poinsot", the coordinates of the center of mass multiplied by the total body mass and the total mass of the rigid body. The equations of motion are formulated as a gender skew 4x4 matrices. They summarize the "principle of fundamental dynamics". The Poinsot generalized tensor appears linearly in this equality as required by the linear dependence of the equations of motion with the ten characteristics inertia of the rigid solid.

Abstract In this paper, we take a relook at two-degree-of-freedom instantaneous rigid body kinematics in terms of dual numbers and vectors, and show that a dual ellipse is a cylindroid. The instantaneous angular and linear velocities of a rigid body is expressed as a dual velocity vector, and the inner product of two dual vectors, as a dual number, is used. We show that the tip of a dual velocity vector lies on a dual ellipse, and the maximum and minimum magnitude of the dual velocity vector, for a unit speed motion, can be obtained as eigenvalues of a positive definite, symmetric matrix whose elements are the dual numbers from the inner products. From the real and dual parts of the equation of the dual ellipse, we derive the equation of a cylindroid (Ball,1900).
