Clifford algebras and vector-valued rational forms. I

We demonstrate how Clifford algebras offer a framework for the construction of vector-valued rational forms possessing features of the usual scalar theory, including three-term recurrence relations for continued fractions. The price for this advantage is that the Moore–Penrose generalized inverse is replaced by the multiplicative group inverse of a Clifford algebra. However, the connection between the new vector-valued rational forms and generalized inverse rational forms is a close one; in fact, the two forms are identical for real analytic data.

Connections between Markov processes and continued fractions have long been known (see, for example, Good [8]). However the usefulness of extended continued fractions in such a context appears not to have been explored. In this paper a convergence theorem is established for a class of extended continued fractions and used to provide well-behaved solutions for some general order linear recurrence relations such as arise in connection with the equilibrium distribution of state for some Markov processes whose natural state spaces are of dimension 2. Specific application is made to a multiserver version of a queueing problem studied by Neuts and Ramalhoto [13] and to a model proposed by Cohen [5] for repeated call attempts in teletraffic.

In this paper, the authors study intersections of a special class of curves with algebraic subgroups of the multiplicative group of complex dimension at least 2. They show how results of Khovanskii on fewnomials can be used to derive finiteness results and bounds for the degrees of algebraic points for such intersections from more general results on intersections of curves with non-algebraic subgroups. They thereby generalise their earlier results, and recover in some cases, using different methods, more uniform bounds than those given in related work of Bombieri, Masser and Zannier.

With an infinite system of balance equations, derived from the Boltzmann equation, conductivity expressions are obtained in the form of three-term recurrence relations leading to continued fractions. Without collisions, only Landau damping causes attenuation. Its modification by collisions is illustrated for some simple collision models.
