On the successive supersymmetric rank‐1 decomposition of higher‐order supersymmetric tensors

In this paper, a successive supersymmetric rank‐1 decomposition of a real higher‐order supersymmetric tensor is considered. To obtain such a decomposition, we design a greedy method based on iteratively computing the best supersymmetric rank‐1 approximation of the residual tensors. We further show that a supersymmetric canonical decomposition could be obtained when the method is applied to an orthogonally diagonalizable supersymmetric tensor, and in particular, when the order is 2, this method generates the eigenvalue decomposition for symmetric matrices. Details of the algorithm designed and the numerical results are reported in this paper. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Approximation of Matrices and a Family of Gander Methods for Polar Decomposition

Two matrix approximation problems are considered: approximation of a rectangular complex matrix by subunitary matrices with respect to unitarily invariant norms and a minimal rank approximation with respect to the spectral norm. A characterization of a subunitary approximant of a square matrix with respect to the Schatten norms, given by Maher, is extended to the case of rectangular matrices and arbitrary unitarily invariant norms. Iterative methods, based on the family of Gander methods and on Higham’s scaled method for polar decomposition of a matrix, are proposed for computing subunitary and minimal rank approximants. Properties of Gander methods are investigated in details. AMS subject classification (2000) 65F30, 15A18

Generalized double affine Hecke algebras of rank 1 and quantized del Pezzo surfaces

Let D be a simply laced Dynkin diagram of rank r whose affinization has the shape of a star (i.e., D₄,E₆,E₇,E₈). To such a diagram one can attach a group G whose generators correspond to the legs of the affinization, have orders equal to the leg lengths plus 1, and the product of the generators is 1. The group G is then a 2-dimensional crystallographic group: G=Z??Z², where ? is 2, 3, 4, and 6, respectively. In this paper, we define a flat deformation H(t,q) of the group algebra C[G] of this group, by replacing the relations saying that the generators have prescribed orders by their deformations, saying that the generators satisfy monic polynomial equations of these orders with arbitrary roots (which are deformation parameters). The algebra H(t,q) for D₄ is the Cherednik algebra of type C^∨C₁, which was studied by Noumi, Sahi, and Stokman, and controls Askey-Wilson polynomials. We prove that H(t,q) is the universal deformation of the twisted group algebra of G, and that this deformation is compatible with certain filtrations on C[G]. We also show that if q is a root of unity, then for generic t the algebra H(t,q) is an Azumaya algebra, and its center is the function algebra on an affine del Pezzo surface. For generic q, the spherical subalgebra eH(t,q)e provides a quantization of such surfaces. We also discuss connections of H(t,q) with preprojective algebras and Painlevé VI.

Stochastic dominance with nonadditive probabilities

Choquet expected utility which uses capacities (i.e. nonadditive probability measures) in place of-additive probability measures has been introduced to decision making under uncertainty to cope with observed effects of ambiguity aversion like the Ellsberg paradox. In this paper we present necessary and sufficient conditions for stochastic dominance between capacities (i.e. the expected utility with respect to one capacity exceeds that with respect to the other one for a given class of utility functions). One wide class of conditions refers to probability inequalities on certain families of sets. To yield another general class of conditions we present sufficient conditions for the existence of a probability measureP with f dC= f dP for all increasing functionsf whenC is a given capacity. Examples includen-th degree stochastic dominance on the reals and many cases of so-called set dominance. Finally, applications to decision making are given including anticipated utility with unknown distortion function.     

Conjugate-gradient method for computing the Moore-Penrose inverse and rank of a matrix

A conjugate-gradient method is developed for computing the Moore-Penrose generalized inverseA of a matrix and the associated projectors, by using the least-square characteristics of both the method and the inverseA . Two dual algorithms are introduced for computing the least-square and the minimum-norm generalized inverses, as well asA . It is shown that (i) these algorithms converge for any starting approximation; (ii) if they are started from the zero matrix, they converge toA ; and (iii) the trace of a sequence of approximations multiplied byA is a monotone increasing function converging to the rank ofA. A practical way of compensating the self-correcting feature in the computation ofA is devised by using the duality of the algorithms. Comparison with Ben-Israel's method is made through numerical examples. The conjugate-gradient method has an advantage over Ben-Israel's method.After having completed the present paper, the author received from Professor M. R. Hestenes his paper entitledPseudo Inverses and Conjugate Gradients. This paper treated the same subject and appeared in Communications of the ACM, Vol. 18, pp. 40–43, 1975.     

凝结热对低阶煤低温氧化过程的影响

选用Pulse Calorimeter仪器，研究了低阶煤在干燥氧气下低温氧化过程的反应热和相对湿度为80％的氮气下凝结热与温度的变化，以研究凝结热对低阶煤低温氧化过程的影响。结果表明,随着温度的上升体系的反应热增加，而凝结热减少。在26℃~60℃的低温下，体系的凝结热明显高于反应热。因此，低温下凝结热是影响低阶煤的低温氧化过程的重要因素。研究还得到了低阶煤在干燥氧气下低温氧化过程的动力学方程及活化能。
