构建了一个新的Hilbert空间,并在此空间上给出了直接由边界条件及转移条件的系数矩阵来判定2n阶微分算子自共轭的充分必要条件,即2n阶算子T是自共轭的当且仅当AJ~(-1)A~*=BJ~(-1)B~*且CJ~(-1)C~*=DJ~(-1)D~*,且C,D是2n阶复矩阵,这与二阶的情形是不同的.     

四元数自共轭矩阵与行列式的几个定理

本文继续使用文献[1],[2],[3],[4],[5]的符号和术语。对四元数体Q上的自共轭矩阵与行列式进行讨论得到几个重要定理。为此,先作几点说明。 2.设A为四元数体Q上的一个n阶矩阵,若A=(即,A=a_(ij),a_(ij)∈Q。恒有a_(ij)=a_(ji))。则说A是四元数体Q上的一个自共轭矩阵。自共轭四元矩阵A的行列式记为‖A‖。

自共轭四元数循环矩阵的特征值问题

循环矩阵是一类应用广泛的特殊矩阵.设A是一个自共轭四元数循环矩阵,运用四元数矩阵的复表示,以及循环矩阵的特定结构形式,得到了矩阵A的特征值的计算公式.反之,对于任意给定的n个实数,证明了一定存在自共轭四元数循环矩阵A,使得A以这n个实数为它的特征值,同时给出了自共轭四元数循环矩阵A的计算方法.推广了复循环矩阵的相关理论结果.     

四元数自共轭矩阵乘积的特征值不等式

由于四元数对乘法无交换律,因而对四元数自共轭矩阵的特征值问题的讨论比复数矩阵的相应问题要困难得多,文[1]、[2]分别对四元数自共轭矩阵的特征值和两个四元数自共轭矩阵乘积的特征进行了估计,做了一定的工作,但与复数域上的有关结果相比较,还有较大差距.本文对四元数自共轭矩阵乘积的特征值进行了探讨.得到了较好的结论,推广了[1]、[2]中的结果。     

A note on relative oscillation theory for symplectic difference systems with general boundary conditions

We develop an analog of classical oscillation theory for discrete symplectic eigenvalue problems with general self-adjoint boundary conditions which, rather than measuring of the spectrum of one single problem, measures the difference between the spectra of two different problems. We prove formulas connecting the numbers of eigenvalues in a given interval for two symplectic eigenvalue problems with different self-adjoint boundary conditions. We derive as corollaries generalized interlacing properties of eigenvalues.     

The classification of self-adjoint boundary conditions of differential operators with two singular endpoints

For general even order linear ordinary differential equations with real coefficients and endpoints which are regular or singular and for arbitrary deficiency index d, the self-adjoint domains are determined by d linearly independent boundary conditions. These conditions are of three types: separated, coupled, and mixed. We give a construction for all conditions of each type and determine the number of conditions of each type possible for a given self-adjoint domain. Our construction gives a direct alternative to the recent construction of Everitt and Markus which uses the theory of symplectic spaces. We believe our construction will prove useful in the spectral analysis of these operators and in obtaining canonical forms of self-adjoint boundary conditions. Such forms are known only in the second order, i.e. Sturm-Liouville, case. Even for regular problems of order four no such forms are available. In the case when all d conditions are separated this construction yields explicit non-real conditions for all orders greater than two. It is well known that no such conditions exist in the second order case.     

The classification of self-adjoint boundary conditions: Separated, coupled, and mixed

There are three basic types of self-adjoint regular and singular boundary conditions: separated, coupled, and mixed. For even order problems with real coefficients, one regular endpoint and arbitrary deficiency index d, we give a construction for each type and determine the number of possible conditions of each type under the assumption that there are d linearly independent square-integrable solutions for some real value of the spectral parameter. In the separated case our construction yields non-real conditions for all orders greater than two. It is well known that no such conditions exist in the second order case. Our construction gives a direct alternative to the recent construction of Everitt and Markus which uses the theory of symplectic spaces. We believe our construction will prove useful in the spectral analysis of these operators and in obtaining canonical forms of self-adjoint boundary conditions. Such forms are known only in the second order, i.e. Sturm-Liouville, case. Even for regular problems of order four no such forms are available.     

Knotted linear force-free magnetic fields-topological aspects

The problem of computing linear force-free magnetic fields on a knotted multiply-connected domain is considered. The domain is the support of the current distribution, and the linear force-free fieldproblem reduces to finding an eigenfield of a self-adjoint curl operator. In this context, the GKN Theorem is reformulated in terms of symplectic geometry in order to characterize the self-adjoint extensions of the curl operator restricted to solenoidal vector fields. When further restricted to the isotopy invariant boundary conditions, the self-adjoint extensions are parametrized by the Lagrangian subspaces of the symplectic form on the first homology group of the boundary. This paper discusses some of the topological aspects and gives some pointers for the associated finite element discretization. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Canonical forms for boundary conditions of self-adjoint differential operators

Canonical forms of boundary conditions are important in the study of the eigenvalues of boundary conditions and their numerical computations. The known canonical forms for self-adjoint differential operators, with eigenvalue parameter dependent boundary conditions, are limited to 4-th order differential operators. We derive canonical forms for self-adjoint $2n$-th order differential operators with eigenvalue parameter dependent boundary conditions. We compare the 4-th order canonical forms to the canonical forms derived in this article.     

Canonical forms of self-adjoint boundary conditions for differential operators of order four

Canonical forms of regular self-adjoint boundary conditions for differential operators are well known in the second order i.e. Sturm–Liouville case. In this paper we find canonical forms for fourth order self-adjoint boundary conditions.     

New canonical forms of self-adjoint boundary conditions for regular differential operators of order four

In this paper, we find new canonical forms of self-adjoint boundary conditions for regular differential operators of order two and four. In the second order case the new canonical form unifies the coupled and separated canonical forms which were known before. Our fourth order forms are similar to the new second order ones and also unify the coupled and separated forms. Canonical forms of self-adjoint boundary conditions are instrumental in the study of the dependence of eigenvalues on the boundary conditions and for their numerical computation. In the second order case this dependence is now well understood due to some surprisingly recent results given the long history and voluminous literature of Sturm-Liouville problems. And there is a robust code for their computation: SLEIGN2.
