Spherical 7-Designs in 2 n -Dimensional Euclidean Space

We consider a finite subgroup _n of the group O(N) of orthogonal matrices, where N = 2 ⁿ , n = 1, 2 .... This group was defined in [7]. We use it in this paper to construct spherical designs in 2 ⁿ -dimensional Euclidean space R ^N . We prove that representations of the group _n on spaces of harmonic polynomials of degrees 1, 2 and 3 are irreducible. This and the earlier results [1–3] imply that the orbit _n,2 x ^t of any initial point x on the sphere S _{N – 1} is a 7-design in the Euclidean space of dimension 2 ⁿ .

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.     

MATRIX NORM VERSIONS OF THE KANTOROVICH INEQUALITY AND ITS APPLICATIONS

In this paper we discuss the generalizations of the Kantorovich inequality and obtain some generalized Kantorovich inequalities in the sense of matrix norm. We further illustrate how to use these inequalities to determine the lower bound of relative efficiency of the parameter estimate in linear model.     

Sudakov scaling and the gauge/string duality

We investigate the anomalous dimensions of (super)conformal Wilson operators in the weak-and strong-coupling regimes using the integrability symmetry on both sides of the gauge/string correspondence. We study the origin of the single-logarithmic asymptotic behavior of long operators/strings in the limit of large Lorentz spin. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 150, No. 2, pp. 204–218, February, 2007.     

Locating a Central Hunter on the Plane

Protection, surveillance or other types of coverage services of mobile points call for different, asymmetric distance measures than the traditional Euclidean, rectangular or other norms used for fixed points. In this paper, the destinations are mobile points (prey) moving at fixed speeds and directions and the facility (hunter) can capture them using one of two possible strategies: either it is smart, predicting the prey’s movement in order to minimize the time needed to capture it, or it is dumb, following a pursuit curve, by moving at any moment in the direction of the prey. In either case, the hunter location in a plane is sought in order to minimize the maximum time of capture of any prey. An efficient solution algorithm is developed that uses the particular geometry that both versions of this problem possess. In the case of unpredictable movement of prey, a worst-case type solution is proposed, which reduces to the well-known weighted Euclidean minimax location problem. The work of the second and third authors was supported in part by a grant from Research Projects BFM2003-04062 and MTM2006-15054.     

On perturbations of matrix pencils with real spectra. II

A well-known result on spectral variation of a Hermitian matrix due to Mirsky is the following: Let and be two Hermitian matrices, and let and be their eigenvalues arranged in ascending order. Then for any unitarily invariant norm . In this paper, we generalize this to the perturbation theory for diagonalizable matrix pencils with real spectra. The much studied case of definite pencils is included in this.

     

On perturbations of matrix pencils with real spectra, a revisit

This paper continues earlier studies by Bhatia and Li on eigenvalue perturbation theory for diagonalizable matrix pencils having real spectra. A unifying framework for creating crucial perturbation equations is developed. With the help of a recent result on generalized commutators involving unitary matrices, new and much sharper bounds are obtained.

     

On the existence of unitarily invariant norm under some conditions

Let r ₁, …, r _m be positive real numbers and A ₁, …, A _m 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 ‖A _i ‖ = r _i , 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 A _i s and r _i s which are sufficient for the existence of such a norm. Finally, we get a characterization of unitarily invariant norms.

Generalized induced norms

Let ‖·‖ be a norm on the algebra ?_n of all n × n matrices over ?. An interesting problem in matrix theory is that “Are there two norms ‖·‖₁ and ‖·‖₂ on ?_n such that ‖A‖ = max|‖Ax‖₂: ‖x‖₁ = 1} for all A ∈ ?_n?” We will investigate this problem and its various aspects and will discuss some conditions under which ‖·‖₁ = ‖·‖₂.     

A remark on normal derivations

Given a Hilbert space , let be operators on . Anderson has proved that if is normal and , then for all operators . Using this inequality, Du Hong-Ke has recently shown that if (instead) , then for all operators . In this note we improve the Du Hong-Ke inequality to for all operators . Indeed, we prove the equivalence of Du Hong-Ke and Anderson inequalities, and show that the Du Hong-Ke inequality holds for unitarily invariant norms.
