Inertia theorems for matrix polynomials

The Lyapunov method for determining the inertia of a matrix in terms of inertia of solutions of a certain linear matrix equation is extended to matrix polynomials.Generalization of well-known inertia theorems are obtained using the recently developed concept of Bezoutian for several matrix polynomials.     

Inertia theorems for operator pencils and applications

In this paper we obtain general infinite dimensional inertia theorems for linear pencils in Hilbert space which cover previously known results for the finite dimensional case and for block weighted shifts. Connections with definite subspaces for contractions in spaces with indefinite metric are discussed.     

Isolation theorems for DOTU matrices

One presents the proof of a theorem which gives the possibility to isolate DOTU matrices and allows us to use computers in the investigation of DOTU matrices of small size.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Comparison theorems for splittings of matrices

Summary. This paper investigates the comparisons of asymptotic rates of convergence of two iteration matrices. On the basis of nonnegative matrix theory, comparisons between two nonnegative splittings and between two parallel multisplitting methods are derived. When the coefficient matrix A is Hermitian positive (semi)definite, comparison theorems about two P-regular splittings and two parallel multisplitting methods are proved.

Relative controllability of delay differential systems with impulses and linear parts defined by permutable matrices

This paper investigates the relative controllability of delay differential systems with linear impulses and linear parts defined by permutable matrices. We use the impulsive delay Grammian matrix to discuss the relatively controllability of impulsive linear delay controlled systems and we use the Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem to discuss the relatively controllability of impulsive semilinear delay controlled systems. Finally, two examples are presented to illustrate our theoretical results.     

On approximation theorems for controllability of non-linear parabolic problems

^** Email: anil{at}math.iitb.ac.in^*** Email: mcj{at}math.iitb.ac.in^**** Email: akp{at}math.iitb.ac.in In this paper, we consider the following control system governedby the non-linear parabolic differential equation of the form: [graphic: see PDF] where A is a linear operator with dense domain and f(t, y)is a non-linear function. We have proved that under Lipschitzcontinuity assumption on the non-linear function f(t, y), theset of admissible controls is non-empty. The optimal pair (u^*,y^*) is then obtained as the limit of the optimal pair sequence{(u_n^*, y_n^*)}, where u_n^* is a minimizer of the unconstrainedproblem involving a penalty function arising from the controllabilityconstraint and y_n^* is the solution of the parabolic non-linearsystem defined above. Subsequently, we give approximation theoremswhich guarantee the convergence of the numerical schemes tooptimal pair sequence. We also present numerical experimentwhich shows the applicability of our result.     

On controllability of partially prescribed matrices

Let A₁and A₂be matrices of sizes m×m and m×n, respectively. Suppose that some of the entries under the main diagonal of A₁ are unknown and all the other entries of [A₁ A₂] are constant. We study the existence of a completely controllable completion of (A₁,A₂) and generalize a previous result on the same problem.     

Inertia possibilities for completions of partial hermitian matrices

A partial Hermitian matrix is one in which some entries are specified and others are considered to be free (complex) variables. Assuming the undirected graph of the specified entries is chordal, it is shown that, with certain mild restrictions, a partial Hermitian matrix may be completed to a Hermitian matrix with any inertia allowed by the specified principal submatrices through the interlacing inequalities. This generalizes earlier work dealing with the existence of positive definite completions, and. as before, the chordality assumption is, in general, necessary. Further related observations dealing with Toeplitz completions and the minimum eigenvalues of completions are also made, and these raise additional questions.     

Normal limit theorems for symmetric random matrices

Using the machinery of zonal polynomials, we examine the limiting behavior of random symmetric matrices invariant under conjugation by orthogonal matrices as the dimension tends to infinity. In particular, we give sufficient conditions for the distribution of a fixed submatrix to tend to a normal distribution. We also consider the problem of when the sequence of partial sums of the diagonal elements tends to a Brownian motion. Using these results, we show that if O _n is a uniform random n×n orthogonal matrix, then for any fixed k>0, the sequence of partial sums of the diagonal of O ^k _n tends to a Brownian motion as n→∞.

Representation theorems and variational principles for self-adjoint operator matrices

We use the notion of triples D⁺ → H → D^? of Hilbert spaces to develop an analog of the Friedrichs extension procedure for a class of nonsemibounded operator matrices. In addition, we suggest a general approach (stated in the same terms) to the construction of variational principles for the eigenvalues of such matrices.     

On exact controllability and complete stabilizability for linear systems

This work is concerned with the relations between exact controllability and complete stabilizability for linear systems in Hilbert spaces. We give an affirmative answer to the open problem posed by Rabah and Karrakchou [R. Rabah, J. Karrakchou, Exact controllability and complete stabilizability for linear systems in Hilbert spaces, Appl. Math. Lett. 10 (1997) 35–40]. More precisely, if the $C_0$-semigroup $S\left(t\right)$ generated by $A$ is surjective and the pair $(A,B)$ with a bounded operator $B$ is completely stabilizable, then $(A,B)$ is exactly controllable without any additional condition.
