Convergence analysis of the triangular-based power flow method for AC distribution grids

<p>This paper addresses the convergence analysis of the triangular-based power flow (PF) method in alternating current radial distribution networks. The PF formulation is made via upper-triangular matrices, which enables finding a general iterative PF formula that does not require admittance matrix calculations. The convergence analysis of this iterative formula is carried out by applying the Banach fixed-point theorem (BFPT), which allows demonstrating that under an adequate voltage profile the triangular-based PF always converges. Numerical validations are made, on the well-known 33 and 69 distribution networks test systems. Gauss-seidel, newton-raphson, and backward/forward PF methods are considered for the sake of comparison. All the simulations are carried out in MATLAB software.</p>

Catalan Transform of k -Balancing Sequences

In this work, the Catalan transformation (CT) of k -balancing sequences, B k , n n ≥ 0 , is introduced. Furthermore, the obtained Catalan transformation C B k , n n ≥ 0 was shown as the product of lower triangular matrices called Catalan matrices and the matrix of k -balancing sequences, B k , n n ≥ 0 , which is an n × 1 matrix. Apart from that, the Hankel transform is applied further to calculate the determinant of the matrices formed from C B k , n n ≥ 0 .

Factorizations of some lower triangular matrices and related combinatorial identities

In this study, we investigate the connection between second order recurrence matrix and several combinatorial matrices such as generalized r-eliminated Pascal matrix, Stirling matrix of the first and of the second kind matrices. We give factorizations and inverse factorizations of these matrices by virtue of the second order recurrence matrix. Moreover, we derive several combinatorial identities which are more general results of some earlier works.

The Normalized Laplacians, Degree-Kirchhoff Index, and the Complexity of Möbius Graph of Linear Octagonal-Quadrilateral Networks

The normalized Laplacian plays an indispensable role in exploring the structural properties of irregular graphs. Let L n 8,4 represent a linear octagonal-quadrilateral network. Then, by identifying the opposite lateral edges of L n 8,4 , we get the corresponding Möbius graph M Q n 8,4 . In this paper, starting from the decomposition theorem of polynomials, we infer that the normalized Laplacian spectrum of M Q n 8,4 can be determined by the eigenvalues of two symmetric quasi-triangular matrices ℒ A and ℒ S of order 4 n . Next, owing to the relationship between the two matrix roots and the coefficients mentioned above, we derive the explicit expressions of the degree-Kirchhoff indices and the complexity of M Q n 8,4 .

On operator-valued infinitesimal Boolean and monotone independence

We introduce the notion of operator-valued infinitesimal (OVI) Boolean independence and OVI monotone independence. Then we show that OVI Boolean (respectively, monotone) independence is equivalent to the operator-valued (OV) Boolean (respectively, monotone) independence over an algebra of [Formula: see text] upper triangular matrices. Moreover, we derive formulas to obtain the OVI Boolean (respectively, monotone) additive convolution by reducing it to the OV case. We also define OVI Boolean and monotone cumulants and study their basic properties. Moreover, for each notion of OVI independence, we construct the corresponding OVI Central Limit Theorem. The relations among free, Boolean and monotone cumulants are extended to this setting. Besides, in the Boolean case we deduce that the vanishing of mixed cumulants is still equivalent to independence, and use this to connect scalar-valued with matrix-valued infinitesimal Boolean independence.

Linear Bundle of Lie Algebras Applied to the Classification of Real Lie Algebras

We present a new look at the classification of real low-dimensional Lie algebras based on the notion of a linear bundle of Lie algebras. Belonging to a suitable family of Lie bundles entails the compatibility of the Lie–Poisson structures with the dual spaces of those algebras. This gives compatibility of bi-Hamiltonian structure on the space of upper triangular matrices and with a bundle at the algebra level. We will show that all three-dimensional Lie algebras belong to two of these families and four-dimensional Lie algebras can be divided in three of these families.
