This paper is concerned with Jordan canonical form theorem of algebraic formulae giving all the solutions of the matrix equation Xm= A where n is a positive integer greater than 2 and A is a 2 × 2 matrix with real or complex elements. If A is a 2 × 2 non-singular matrix, the equation Xm = A has infinitely many solutions and we obtain explicit formulae giving all the solutions. If A is a 2 × 2 singular matrix, and we obtained necessary and sufficient condition of square root . This leads to very simple formulae for all the solutions when A is either a singular matrix or a non-singular matrix with two coincident eigenvalues. We also determine the precise number of solutions in various cases.

In this paper, Lorentz boosts and Wigner rotations are considered from a (complexified) quaternionic point of view. It is demonstrated that, for a suitably defined self-adjoint complex quaternionic 4-velocity, pure Lorentz boosts can be phrased in terms of the quaternion square root of the relative 4-velocity connecting the two inertial frames. Straightforward computations then lead to quite explicit and relatively simple algebraic formulae for the composition of 4-velocities and the Wigner angle. The Wigner rotation is subsequently related to the generic non-associativity of the composition of three 4-velocities, and a necessary and sufficient condition is developed for the associativity to hold. Finally, the authors relate the composition of 4-velocities to a specific implementation of the Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff theorem. As compared to ordinary 4×4 Lorentz transformations, the use of self-adjoint complexified quaternions leads, from a computational view, to storage savings and more rapid computations, and from a pedagogical view to to relatively simple and explicit formulae.

M M -2 semitensor product is a new and very useful mathematical tool, which breaks the limitation of traditional matrix multiplication on the dimension of matrices and has a wide application prospect. This article aims to investigate the solutions of the matrix equation A ° l X = B with respect to M M -2 semitensor product. The case where the solutions of the equation are vectors is discussed first. Compatible conditions of matrices and the necessary and sufficient condition for the solvability is studied successively. Furthermore, concrete methods of solving the equation are provided. Then, the case where the solutions of the equation are matrices is studied in a similar way. Finally, several examples are given to illustrate the efficiency of the results.

Abstract Orthonormal bases of isotropic vectors for indefinite square matrices are proposed and solved. A necessary and sufficient condition is that the matrix must have zero trace. A recursive algorithm is presented for computer applications. The isotropic vectors of 3 × 3 matrices are solved explicitly. Deviatoric stresses in continuum mechanics, the existence of isotropic vectors (particularly in screw space), and stiffness synthesis by springs are shown to be related to the isotropic vector problem.

Abstract Using the semi-tensor product of matrices, this paper investigates cycles of graphs with application to cut-edges and the minimum spanning tree, and presents a number of new results and algorithms. Firstly, by defining a characteristic logical vector and using the matrix expression of logical functions, an algebraic description is obtained for cycles of graph, based on which a new necessary and sufficient condition is established to find all cycles for any graph. Secondly, using the necessary and sufficient condition of cycles, two algorithms are established to find all cut-edges and the minimum spanning tree, respectively. Finally, the study of an illustrative example shows that the results/algorithms presented in this paper are effective.

This paper proposes the matrix representation of formal polynomials over max-plus algebra and obtains the maximum and minimum canonical forms of a polynomial function by standardizing this representation into a canonical form. A necessary and sufficient condition for two formal polynomials corresponding to the same polynomial function is derived. Such a matrix method is constructive and intuitive, and leads to a polynomial algorithm for factorization of polynomial functions. Some illustrative examples are presented to demonstrate the results.

The notion of the inverse of a matrix with entries from the real or complex fields was generalized by Moore (6, 7) in 1920 to include all rectangular (finite dimensional) matrices. In 1951, Bjerhammar (2, 3) rediscovered the generalized inverse for rectangular matrices of maximal rank. In 1955, Penrose (8, 9) independently rediscovered the generalized inverse for arbitrary real or complex rectangular matrices. Recently, Arghiriade (1) has given a set of necessary and sufficient conditions that a matrix commute with its generalized inverse. These conditions involve the existence of certain submatrices and can be expressed using the notion of EPr matrices introduced in 1950 by Schwerdtfeger (10). The main purpose of this paper is to prove the following theorem:Theorem 2. A necessary and sufficient condition that the generalized inverse of the matrix A (denoted by A+) commute with A is that A+ can be expressed as a polynomial in A with scalar coefficients.

AbstractThis paper is a study of summability methods that are based on Dirichlet convolution. If f(n) is a function on positive integers and x is a sequence such that then x is said to be Af-summable to L. The necessary and sufficient condition for the matrix Af to preserve bounded variation of sequences is established. Also, the matrix Af is investigated as ℓ − ℓ and G − G mappings. The strength of the Af-matrix is also discussed.

The paper investigates the maximum distance separable (MDS) matrix over the matrix polynomial residue ring. Firstly, by analyzing the minimal polynomials of binary matrices with 1 XOR count and element-matrices with few XOR counts, we present an efficient method for constructing MDS matrices with as few XOR counts as possible. Comparing with previous constructions, our corresponding constructions only cost 1 minute 27 seconds to 7 minutes, while previous constructions cost 3 days to 4 weeks. Secondly, we discuss the existence of several types of involutory MDS matrices and propose an efficient necessary-and-sufficient condition for identifying a Hadamard matrix being involutory. According to the condition, each involutory Hadamard matrix over a polynomial residue ring can be accurately and efficiently searched. Furthermore, we devise an efficient algorithm for constructing involutory Hadamard MDS matrices with as few XOR counts as possible. We obtain many new involutory Hadamard MDS matrices with much fewer XOR counts than optimal results reported before.

In this third of a series of papers on the stability of Vlasov equilibria, the dispersion functional technique developed in part 1 is applied to the multi-species Vlasov plasma and to the Vlasov-fluid model. An alternative form of the dispersion functional is derived for the Vlasov-fluid model in which magnetohydrodynamic and kinetic aspects of the problem are separated explicitly. A necessary and sufficient condition is derived for stability with the Vlasov-fluid model. Stability of the multi-species Vlasov plasma is discussed and a necessary and sufficient condition for stability near a marginal point is derived. Explicit formulae for quantities occurring in the dispersion functional are given in cylindrical co-ordinates for the Vlasov-fluid model when there is one nonignorable co-ordinate in the equilibrium. The dispersion functional for a multi-species Vlasov plasma is shown to be related to the ponderomotive Hamiltonian.

Let $M= \left[ \begin{array}{cc} A& B \\ C& O \end{array} \right]$ be a complex square matrix where A is square. When BCB^{\Omega} =0, rank(BC) = rank(B) and the group inverse of $\left[ \begin{array}{cc} B^{\Omega} A B^{\Omega} & 0 \\ CB^{\Omega} & 0 \right]$ exists, the group inverse of M exists if and only if rank(BC + A)B^{\Omega}AB^{\Omega})^{\pi}B^{\Omega}A)= rank(B). In this case, a representation of $M^#$ in terms of the group inverse and Moore-Penrose inverse of its subblocks is given. Let A be a real matrix. The sign pattern of A is a (0,+,−)-matrix obtained from A by replacing each entry by its sign. The qualitative class of A is the set of the matrices with the same sign pattern as A, denoted by Q(A). The matrix A is called S^2GI, if the group inverse of each matrix \bar{A} in Q(A) exists and its sign pattern is independent of e A. By using the group inverse representation, a necessary and sufficient condition for a real block matrix to be an S^2GI-matrix is given.
