USE OF AGE‐ AND STAGE‐STRUCTURED MATRIX MODELS TO PREDICT LIFE HISTORY SCHEDULES FOR SEMELPAROUS POPULATIONS

Many studies of semelparous salmon populations use Leslie matrices that classify individuals on the basis of age alone and do not explicitly impose death upon reproduction. Although these models may suffice for studying long‐term population dynamics (like asymptotic growth rate), they do not accurately represent the diversity of individual life history outcomes in semelparous populations. Cohorts breeding at different ages have different life history traits (e.g., age at first reproduction and remaining life expectancy) that are obscured in Leslie models and this distorts our understanding of life history diversity and its importance for semelparous population dynamics. We present a simple transformation that uses age‐specific breeding probabilities to reconfigure Leslie matrices as explicitly semelparous models. Explicitly semelparous models conserve asymptotic measures like population growth rate, vital rate elasticities, life expectancy at birth, and generation time but also better predict life history schedules and reproductive values. Strictly age‐classified Leslie models underestimate ages at first reproduction and mean ages at death for older breeders but overestimate mean ages at death for early breeders. Leslie models also slightly overestimate variance in lifetime reproductive success, and underestimate entropy exhibited by life history outcomes.

Spectra of infinite graphs with tails

We compute explicitly (modulo solutions of certain algebraic equations) the spectra of infinite graphs obtained by attaching one or several infinite paths to some vertices of given finite graphs. The main result concerns a canonical form for the adjacency matrix of such infinite graphs, and the algorithm of its calculation. The argument relies upon the spectral theory of eventually free Jacobi matrices. We also study some other couplings of infinite graphs (stars and Bethe–Caley trees).     

Representation Theory of some Infinite-dimensional Algebras Arising in Continuously Controlled Algebra and Topology

In this paper we determine the representation type of some algebras of infinite matrices continuously controlled at infinity by a compact metrizable space. We explicitly classify their finitely presented modules in the finite and tame cases. The algebra of row-column-finite (or locally finite) matrices over an arbitrary field is one of the algebras considered in this paper, its representation type is shown to be finite.Received October 2003     

Dynamical properties of families of discrete delay advection–reaction operators

A family of discrete delay advection–reaction operators is introduced along with an infinite matrix formulation in order to investigate the asymptotic behaviour of the orbits of their iterates. The infinite matrices obtained are triangular matrices with only one non-zero subdiagonal. We show that the elements of powers of these matrices can be written as distinctive products of two factors, one of them involving derivatives of the Lagrange polynomials of basic functions with the diagonal elements as nodes. The other factor consists of products of the subdiagonal elements. Consequently the convergence of the iterates of the operators depends on their eigenvalues and the products of their subdiagonal elements.     

Some special classes of infinite matrices

Spectral analysis for linear semi‐infinite mass‐spring systems

We study how the spectrum of a Jacobi operator changes when this operator is modified by a certain finite rank perturbation. The operator corresponds to an infinite mass‐spring system and the perturbation is obtained by modifying one interior mass and one spring of this system. In particular, there are detailed results of what happens in the spectral gaps and which eigenvalues do not move under the modifications considered. These results were obtained by a new tecnique of comparative spectral analysis and they generalize and include previous results for finite and infinite Jacobi matrices.     

基于哈密顿体系的平面无限解析元

在有限元法中,无限域的问题不便于处理求解。但无限域往往可以由规则的无限外域再加上有限的局部域组成。将无限域问题中的有限局部域用有限元法处理,在规则的无限外域中建立极坐标系,将规则无限域问题导向哈密顿体系,利用本征向量展开的方法,推导出一种新的半解析无限解析元,其刚度阵是精确的。该单元可用常规方法作为一个超级有限单元与有限的局部域连接。数值计算结果表明,该单元具有精度高,应用方便,数据处理非常简单的特点。对无限域问题的数值求解有重要意义。该方法可推广到三维无限域问题中。     

Infinite Time Turing Machines With Only One Tape

Infinite time Turing machines with only one tape are in many respects fully as powerful as their multi‐tape cousins. In particular, the two models of machine give rise to the same class of decidable sets, the same degree structure and, at least for partial functions f : ℝ → ℕ, the same class of computable functions. Nevertheless, there are infinite time computable functions f : ℝ → ℝ that are not one‐tape computable, and so the two models of infinitary computation are not equivalent. Surprisingly, the class of one‐tape computable functions is not closed under composition; but closing it under composition yields the full class of all infinite time computable functions. Finally, every ordinal that is clockable by an infinite time Turing machine is clockable by a one‐tape machine, except certain isolated ordinals that end gaps in the clockable ordinals.     

Infinite Töplitz–Lipschitz matrices and operators

We introduce a class of infinite matrices , which are asymptotically (as |s| + |s′| → ∞) close to Hankel–T?plitz matrices. We prove that this class forms an algebra, and that flow-maps of nonautonomous linear equations with coefficients from the class also belong to it.     

Perron-Frobenius operators and representations of the Cuntz-Krieger algebras for infinite matrices

In this paper we extend the work of Kawamura, see [K. Kawamura, The Perron-Frobenius operators, invariant measures and representations of the Cuntz-Krieger algebras, J. Math. Phys. 46 (2005)], for Cuntz-Krieger algebras OA for infinite matrices A. We generalize the definition of branching systems, prove their existence for any given matrix A and show how they induce some very concrete representations of OA. We use these representations to describe the Perron-Frobenius operator, associated to a nonsingular transformation, as an infinite sum and under some hypothesis we find a matrix representation for the operator. We finish the paper with a few examples.
