We also prove that every unbounded -disjointness preserving linear functional on is disjointness preserving.

     

Local asymptotic normality of multivariate ARMA processes with a linear trend

The local asymptotic normality (LAN) property is established for multivariate ARMA models with a linear trend or, equivalently, for multivariate general linear models with ARMA error term. In contrast with earlier univariate results, the central sequence here is correlogram-based, i.e. expressed in terms of a generalized concept of residual cross-covariance function.     

On mappings approximately preserving orthogonality

We answer a question posed by Chmieliński, whether a linear map which approximately preserves orthogonality must be close to an orthogonality preserving one. Furthermore, we give a short proof of the stability of the orthogonality equation on finite dimensional Hilbert spaces.     

The fundamental theory of abstract majorization inequalities

Using the axiomatic method,abstract concepts such as abstract mean, abstract convex function and abstract majorization are proposed. They are the generalizations of concepts of mean, convex function and majorization, respectively. Through the logical deduction, the fundamental theorems about abstract majorization inequalities are established as follows: for arbitrary abstract mean Σ and Σ , and abstract Σ → Σ strict convex function f(x) on the interval I, if xi, yi ∈ I (i = 1, 2, . . . , n) satisfy that (x1...     

Mathematical programming techniques in majorization

In this paper, we are concerned with mathematical programs which construct nonmajorizing vectors for several specific majorization applications. In particular, we develop a linear integer program and two integer goal programs which solve the assignment majorization problem. We also develop a quadratic program for solving majorization problems which arise in probability and statistics. In the appendix, we present a general goal-programming algorithm for these, as well as others, goal programs.The authors would like to thank Professor Y. Tong for introducing them to majorization and its applications. They would also like to thank Professors Y. Tong and D. Mesner for helpful discussions.     

Adjacency preserving mappings of invariant subspaces of a null system

In the space of invariant -dimensional subspaces of a null system in -dimensional projective space, W.L. Chow characterized the basic group of transformations as all the bijections , for which both and preserve adjacency. In the present paper we show that the two conditions is a surjection and preserves adjacency are sufficient to characterize the basic group. At the end of this paper we give an application to Lie geometry.

     

Volume preserving RK methods for linear systems

1. IntroductionIn recent yearss there has been a great interest in constructing numerical integrationschemes for ODEs in such a way that some qualitative geometrical properties of the solutionof the ODEs are exactly preserved. R.th[ll and Feng Kang[2'31 has proposed symplectic algorithms for Hamiltollian systems, and since then st ruct ure s- preserving me t ho ds fordynamical systems have been systematically developed[4--7]. The symplectic algorithms forHamiltonian systems, the volume-pre…

Some results on the majorization theorem of connected graphs

Let π = (d ₁, d ₂, ..., d _n ) and π′ = (d′ ₁, d′ ₂, ..., d′ _n ) be two non-increasing degree sequences. We say π is majorizated by π′, denoted by π ⊲ π′, if and only if π ≠ π′, Σ _i=1 ⁿ d _i = Σ _i=1 ⁿ d′ _i , and Σ _i=1 ^j d _i ≤ Σ _i=1 ^j d′ _i for all j = 1, 2, ..., n. Weuse C _π to denote the class of connected graphs with degree sequence π. Let ρ(G) be the spectral radius, i.e., the largest eigenvalue of the adjacent matrix of G. In this paper, we extend the main results of [Liu, M. H., Liu, B. L., You, Z. F.: The majorization theorem of connected graphs. Linear Algebra Appl., 431(1), 553–557 (2009)] and [Bıyıkoğlu, T., Leydold, J.: Graphs with given degree sequence and maximal spectral radius. Electron. J. Combin., 15(1), R119 (2008)]. Moreover, we prove that if π and π′ are two different non-increasing degree sequences of unicyclic graphs with π ⊲ π′, G and G′ are the unicyclic graphs with the greatest spectral radii in C _π and C′ _π , respectively, then ρ(G) < ρ(G′).     

A multiquadric quasi-interpolation with linear reproducing and preserving monotonicity

In this paper, we develop a multiquadric (MQ) quasi-interpolation which has the properties of linear reproducing and preserving monotonicity. Moreover, we give its approximation error by theoretic analysis and illustrate the effect by means of two examples. One of the examples is to approach the linear combination of two sine functions with different frequencies. Another is to approximate a function with discontinuity. From the results of the examples, we believe that the present MQ quasi-interpolation is feasible.     

Trace and spectrum preserving linear mappings in Jordan-Banach algebras

In the first section we define the trace on the socle of a Jordan-Banach algebra in a purely spectral way and we prove that it satisfies several identities. In particular this trace defines the Faulkner bilinear form. In the second section, using analytic tools and the properties of the trace, we prove that a spectrum preserving linear mapping fromJ ontoJ ¹, whereJ andJ ¹ are semisimple Jordan-Banach algebras, is not far from being a Jordan isomorphism. It is in particular a Jordan isomorphism ifJ ¹ is primitive with non-zero socle.     

Existence of invariant curves with prescribed frequency for degenerate area preserving mappings

We consider small perturbations of analytic non-twist area preserving mappings, and prove the existence of invariant curves with prescribed frequency by KAM iteration. Generally speaking, the frequency of invariant curve may undergo some drift, if the twist condition is not satisfied. But in this paper, we deal with a degenerate situation where the unperturbed rotation angle function r → ω + r²ⁿ⁺¹ is odd order degenerate at r = 0, and prove the existence of invariant curve without any drift in its frequency. Furthermore, we give a more general theorem on the existence of invariant curves with prescribed frequency for non-twist area preserving mappings and discuss the case of degeneracy with various orders.     

On the quadratic estimation of covariance matrices in multivariate linear models

This paper investigates the estimation of covariance matrices in multivariate mixed models. Some sufficient conditions are derived for a multivariate quadratic form and a linear combination of multivariate quadratic forms to be the BQUE (quadratic unbiased and severally minimum varianced) estimators of its expectations.     

A group majorization ordering for Euclidean distance matrices

This paper investigates some properties of Euclidean distance matrices (EDMs) with focus on their ordering structure. The ordering treated here is the group majorization ordering induced by the group of permutation matrices. By using this notion, we establish two monotonicity results for EDMs: (i) The radius of a spherical Euclidean distance matrix (spherical EDM) is increasing with respect to the group majorization ordering. (ii) The larger an EDM is in terms of the group majorization ordering, the more spread out its eigenvalues are. Minimal elements with respect to this ordering are also described.
