We examine a universal algebraic abstraction of the semigroup theoretic concept of “divides:” a divides b in an algebra A if for some n ∈ ω, there is a term t(x, y1,…, yn) involving all of the listed variables, and elements c1,…, cn such that tA(a, c1,…, cn) = b. The first order definability of this relation is shown to be a very broad generalisation of some familiar congruence properties, such as definability of principal congruences. The algorithmic problem of deciding when a finitely generated variety has this relation definable is shown to be equivalent to an open problem concerning flat algebras. We also use the relation as a framework for establishing some results concerning the finite axiomatisability of finitely generated varieties. 相似文献
Let A, B be n × n matrices with entries in a field F. Our purpose is to show the following theorem: Suppose n⩾4, A is irreducible, and for every partition of {1,2,…,n} into subsets α, β with ¦α¦⩾2, ¦β¦⩾2 either rank A[α¦β]⩾2 or rank A[β¦α]⩾2. If A and B have equal corresponding principal minors, of all orders, then B or Bt is diagonally similar to A. 相似文献
In [14], we proved that two finitely generated finite-by-nilpotent groups G,H are elementarily equivalent if and only if Z×G and Z×H are isomorphic. In the present paper, we obtain similar characterizations of elementary equivalence for the following classes of structures: 1. the (n+2)-tuples (A1…,An+1,f),where n≥2 is an integerA1…,An+1 are disjoint finitely generated abelian groups and fA1×…×An→An+1: is a n-linear map; 2. the triples (A,Bf), where n≥2 is an integerA,B are disjoint finitely generated abelian groups and f : An→B is a n-linear map; 3. the couples (A,f), where n≥2 is an integerA is a finitely generated abelian group and f:An→A is a n-linear map. For each class, we show that elementary equivalence does not imply isomorphism. In particular, we give an example of two nonisomorphic finitely generated torsion-free Lie rings which are elementarily equivalent. 相似文献
Let Ωn be the set of all n × n doubly stochastic matrices, let Jn be the n × n matrix all of whose entries are 1/n and let σk(A) denote the sum of the permanent of all k × k submatrices of A. It has been conjectured that if A ε Ωn and A ≠ JJ then gA,k(θ) ? σ k((1 θ)Jn 1 θA) is strictly increasing on [0,1] for k = 2,3,…,n. We show that if A = A1 ⊕ ⊕At (t ≥ 2) is an n × n matrix where Ai for i = 1,2, …,t, and if for each igAi,ki(θ) is non-decreasing on [0.1] for kt = 2,3,…,ni, then gA,k(θ) is strictly increasing on [0,1] for k = 2,3,…,n. 相似文献
Let A1,…,Am be nxn hermitian matrices. Definine W(A1,…,Am)={(xA1x ?,…xAmx?):x?Cn,xx?=1}. We will show that every point in the convex hull of W(A1,…,Am) can be represented as a convex combination of not more than k(m,n) points in W(A1,…,Am) where k(m,n)=min{n,[√m]+δn2m+1}. 相似文献
Let A be a non-empty set and m be a positive integer. Let ≡ be the equivalence relation defined on Am such that (x1, …, xm) ≡ (y1, …, ym) if there exists a permutation σ on {1, …, m} such that yσ(i) = xi for all i. Let A(m) denote the set of all equivalence classes determined by ≡. Two elements X and Y in A(m) are said to be adjacent if (x1, …, xm?1, a) ∈ X and (x1, …, xm?1, b) ∈ Y for some x1, …, xm?1 ∈ A and some distinct elements a, b ∈ A. We study the structure of functions from A(m) to B(n) that send adjacent elements to adjacent elements when A has at least n + 2 elements and its application to linear preservers of non-zero decomposable symmetric tensors. 相似文献
We study the initial-boundary value problem for ?t2u(t,x)+A(t)u(t,x)+B(t)?tu(t,x)=f(t,x) on [0,T]×Ω(Ω??n) with a homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition; here A(t) denotes a family of uniformly strongly elliptic operators of order 2m, B(t) denotes a family of spatial differential operators of order less than or equal to m, and u is a scalar function. We prove the existence of a unique strong solution u. Furthermore, an energy estimate for u is given. 相似文献
We consider the following sparse representation problem: represent a given matrix X∈ℝm×N as a multiplication X=AS of two matrices A∈ℝm×n (m≤n<N) and S∈ℝn×N, under requirements that all m×m submatrices of A are nonsingular, and S is sparse in sense that each column of S has at least n−m+1 zero elements. It is known that under some mild additional assumptions, such representation is unique, up to scaling and
permutation of the rows of S. We show that finding A (which is the most difficult part of such representation) can be reduced to a hyperplane clustering problem. We present a
bilinear algorithm for such clustering, which is robust to outliers. A computer simulation example is presented showing the
robustness of our algorithm. 相似文献
Using techniques from algebraic topology we derive linear inequalities which relate the spectrum of a set of Hermitian matrices A1,…, Ar ? ¢n×n with the spectrum of the sum A1 + … + Ar. These extend eigenvalue inequalities due to Freede-Thompson and Horn for sums of eigenvalues of two Hermitian matrices. 相似文献
On a Lie group S = NA, that is a split extension of a nilpotent Lie group N by a one-parameter group of automorphisms A, a probability measure μ is considered and treated as a distribution according to which transformations s ∈ S acting on N = S/A are sampled. Under natural conditions, formulated some over thirty years ago, there is a μ-invariant measure m on N. Properties of m have been intensively studied by a number of authors. The present article deals with the situation when μ(A) = ?(st ∈ A), where ?+ ? t → st ∈ S is the diffusion on S generated by a second order subelliptic, hypoelliptic, left-invariant operator on S. In this article the most general operators of this kind are considered. Precise asymptotic for m at infinity and for the Green function of the operator are given. To achieve this goal a pseudodifferential calculus for operators with coefficients of finite smoothness is formulated and applied. 相似文献
In this paper we discuss a combinatorial problem involving graphs and matrices. Our problem is a matrix analogue of the classical problem of finding a system of distinct representatives (transversal) of a family of sets and relates closely to an extremal problem involving 1-factors and a long standing conjecture in the dimension theory of partially ordered sets. For an integer n ?1, let n denote the n element set {1,2,3,…, n}. Then let A be a k×t matrix. We say that A satisfies property P(n, k) when the following condition is satisfied: For every k-taple (x1,x2,…,xk?nk there exist k distinct integers j1,j2,…,jk so that xi= aii for i= 1,2,…,k. The minimum value of t for which there exists a k × t matrix A satisfying property P(n,k) is denoted by f(n,k). For each k?1 and n sufficiently large, we give an explicit formula for f(n, k): for each n?1 and k sufficiently large, we use probabilistic methods to provide inequalities for f(n,k). 相似文献
Let A be an n×n doubly stochastic matrix and suppose that 1?m?n?1. Let τ1,…,τm be m mutually disjoint zero diagonals in A, and suppose that every diagonal of A disjoint from τ1,…,τm has a constant sum. Then aall entries of A off the m zero diagonals have the value (n?m)?1. This verifies a conjecture of E.T. Wang. 相似文献
In this article, a brief survey of recent results on linear preserver problems and quantum information science is given. In addition, characterization is obtained for linear operators φ on mn?×?mn Hermitian matrices such that φ(A???B) and A???B have the same spectrum for any m?×?m Hermitian A and n?×?n Hermitian B. Such a map has the form A???B???U(?1(A)????2(B))U* for mn?×?mn Hermitian matrices in tensor form A???B, where U is a unitary matrix, and for j?∈?{1,?2}, ?j is the identity map?X???X or the transposition map?X???Xt. The structure of linear maps leaving invariant the spectral radius of matrices in tensor form A???B is also obtained. The results are connected to bipartite (quantum) systems and are extended to multipartite systems. 相似文献
Let r1, …, rm be positive real numbers and A1, …, Am be n × n matrices with complex entries. In this article, we present a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a unitarily invariant norm ‖·‖, such that ‖Ai‖ = ri, for i = 1, …, m. Then we identify the greatest unitarily invariant norm which satisfies this condition. Using this, we get an approximation of unitarily invariant norms. Although the minimum unitarily invariant norm which satisfies this condition does not exist in general, we find conditions over Ais and ris which are sufficient for the existence of such a norm. Finally, we get a characterization of unitarily invariant norms. 相似文献
Let be the complex algebra generated by a pair of n × n Hermitian matrices A, B. A recent result of Watters states that A, B are simultaneously unitarily quasidiagonalizable [i.e., A and B are simultaneously unitarily similar to direct sums C1⊕…⊕Ct,D1⊕…⊕Dt for some t, where Ci, Di are ki × ki and ki?2(1?i?t)] if and only if [p(A, B), A]2 and [p(A, B), B]2 belong to the center of for all polynomials p(x, y) in the noncommuting variables x, y. In this paper, we obtain a finite set of conditions which works. In particular we show that if A, B are positive semidefinite, then A, B are simultaneously quasidiagonalizable if (and only if) [A, B]2, [A2, B]2 and [A, B2]2 commute with A, B. 相似文献
A pair (A, B), where A is an n × n matrix and B is an n × m matrix, is said to have the nonnegative integers sequence {rj}j=1p as the r-numbers sequence if r1 = rank(B) and rj = rank[BAB … Aj−1 B] − rank[BAB … Aj−2B], 2 ≤ j ≤ p. Given a partial upper triangular matrix A of size n × n in upper canonical form and an n × m matrix B, we develop an algorithm that obtains a completion Ac of A, such that the pair (Ac, B) has an r-numbers sequence prescribed under some restrictions. 相似文献
