负数的自述

我是负数,你以前虽然见过我,但我们还不很熟悉.下面就听听我的自述,我们会成为好朋友的.一、我的出现是实际生活的需要.数的扩充都是由于实际的需要而产生的,负数的引入也不例外,它是由于表示具有相反意义的量的需要而产生的.小学学过的自然数和分数只能表示相反意义的量中的一个量,不能满足实际需要,为了更好的记数而引入一种

例谈备课中新课程的导入与设问环节

备课是教师的一项基本功,是教师对教材进行再创造的过程,是集教学内容,教学方式,教学艺术于一体的一项关键设计.备课质量的高低,不仅影响着教学计划的实施和教育方针的落实,更潜在地制约着课堂教学的效率.     

手机套餐问题的一个数学模型

随着信息时代的到来,手机在人们日常工作、社交、经营等社会活动中的作用越来越重要.近年来我国通信业务量飞速增长,手机的功劳更是功不可没.手机资费问题也越来越受到人们的关注,并且对原有的各种资费方案越来越质疑.2007年1月以来上海、北京、广东等地相继推出的手机"套餐"琳琅满目,让人眼花缭乱,人们不能理性分辨手机"套餐"究竟优惠在何处.……     

赏析2011年湖北高考理科立几题

2011年高考已经落幕,笔者有意关注了湖北数学试卷,解读理科数学试卷,两道立体几何试题给我留下了很深的印象.小题的背景和问题设置让人耳目一新;大题的解法入口宽,方法多,涉及的知识面广,打破了单纯考查立体几何的常规,建立了立体几何与函数、三角、向量、解几的密切联系.这两道试题充分体现了源于教材,略高于教     

如何分遗产

古罗马一位寡妇，遵照丈夫的遗嘱，把丈夫遗留下来的3500元遗产同她即将出生的孩子一起分配。如果生的是儿子，那么，按照罗马的法律，做母亲的应分得儿子份额的一半；如果生的是女儿，做母亲的就应分得女儿份额的两倍。可发生的事情是：生了一对双胞胎——一男一女。     

正定矩阵标准型的复合矩阵的一般形式

On the Existence of Positive Eigenvalues for Linear and Nonlinear Equations with Indefinite Weight

We prove the existence of positive eigenvalues for two types of equations having an indefinite weight. We consider the linear case, and we show the existence of a positive principal eigenvalue corresponding to a positive eigenfunction. For the nonlinear case, we show that the set of positive eigenvalues is an unbounded interval, and that the corresponding eigenfunctions are positive.     

Completely positive tensors in the complex field

In this paper, we introduce the complex completely positive tensor, which has a symmetric complex decomposition with all real and imaginary parts of the decomposition vectors being non-negative. Some properties of the complex completely positive tensor are given. A semidefinite algorithm is also proposed for checking whether a complex tensor is complex completely positive or not. If a tensor is not complex completely positive, a certificate for it can be obtained; if it is complex completely positive, a complex completely positive decomposition can be obtained.     

Generic existence and uniqueness of positive eigenvalues and eigenvectors

We consider a closed cone of positive operators on an ordered Banach space and prove that a generic element of this cone has a unique positive eigenvalue and a unique (up to a positive multiple) positive eigenvector. Moreover, the normalized iterations of such a generic element converge to its unique eigenvector.

关于非线性矩阵方程$X^s-A^*X^{-t}A=Q$的Hermitian正定解及其扰动估计

In this paper, the Hermitian positive definite solutions of the nonlinear matrix equation X^s - A^＊X^-tA = Q are studied, where Q is a Hermitian positive definite matrix, s and t are positive integers. The existence of a Hermitian positive definite solution is proved. A sufficient condition for the equation to have a unique Hermitian positive definite solution is given. Some estimates of the Hermitian positive definite solutions are obtained. Moreover, two perturbation bounds for the Hermitian positive definite solutions are derived and the results are illustrated by some numerical examples.     

On the Spectra of Striped Sign Patterns

Sign patterns consisting of some positive and some negative columns, with at least one of each kind, are shown to allow any self-conjugate spectrum, and thus to allow any inertia. In the case of the n ×n sign pattern with all columns positive, given any self-conjugate multiset consisting of n -1 complex numbers supplemented by a sufficiently large positive number, it is shown how to construct a positive normal matrix whose spectrum is this multiset. Thus, the positive sign pattern allows any inertia with at least one positive eigenvalue.     

On the Spectra of Striped Sign Patterns

Sign patterns consisting of some positive and some negative columns, with at least one of each kind, are shown to allow any self-conjugate spectrum, and thus to allow any inertia. In the case of the n × n sign pattern with all columns positive, given any self-conjugate multiset consisting of n m 1 complex numbers supplemented by a sufficiently large positive number, it is shown how to construct a positive normal matrix whose spectrum is this multiset. Thus, the positive sign pattern allows any inertia with at least one positive eigenvalue.     

On Positive Linear Volterra-Stieltjes Differential Systems

We first introduce the notion of positive linear Volterra-Stieltjes differential systems. Then, we give some characterizations of positive systems. An explicit criterion and a Perron-Frobenius type theorem for positive linear Volterra-Stieltjes differential systems are given. Next, we offer a new criterion for uniformly asymptotic stability of positive systems. Finally, we study stability radii of positive linear Volterra-Stieltjes differential systems. It is proved that complex, real and positive stability radius of positive linear Volterra-Stieltjes differential systems under structured perturbations coincide and can be computed by an explicit formula. The obtained results in this paper include ones established recently for positive linear Volterra integro-differential systems [36] and for positive linear functional differential systems [32]-[35] as particular cases. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, most of them are new. The first author is supported by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.
