On the Russo-Dye Theorem for positive linear maps
2019
Abstract We revisit a classical result, the Russo-Dye Theorem, stating that every positive linear map attains its norm at the identity.
Some properties of [tr(Q2p)]12p with application to linear minimax estimation
1990
Abstract A nondifferentiable minimization problem is considered which occurs in linear minimax estimation. This problem is solved by replacing the nondifferentiable maximal eigenvalue of a real nonnegative definite matrix Q with [tr( Q 2 p )] 1/2 p . It is shown that any descent algorithm with inexact step-length rule can be used to obtain linear minimax estimators for the parameter vector of a parameter-restricted linear model.
The structure of the state representation of shift invariant controllable and observable group codes
2000
AbstractIn this paper an investigation on the structure of the canonical trellis section of shift invariant, l-controllable and m-observable group codes is carried out. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a set of group homomorphisms in order that they represent the trellis section of this class of codes are established.
On the Bishop–Phelps–Bollobás theorem for multilinear mappings
2017
Abstract We study the Bishop–Phelps–Bollobas property and the Bishop–Phelps–Bollobas property for numerical radius. Our main aim is to extend some known results about norm or numerical radius attaining operators to multilinear and polynomial cases. We characterize the pair ( l 1 ( X ) , Y ) to have the BPBp for bilinear forms and prove that on L 1 ( μ ) the numerical radius and the norm of a multilinear mapping are the same. We also show that L 1 ( μ ) fails the BPBp-nu for multilinear mappings although L 1 ( μ ) satisfies it in the operator case for every measure μ.
On the ∗-cocharacter sequence of 3×3 matrices
2000
Abstract Let M 3 (F) be the algebra of 3×3 matrices with involution * over a field F of characteristic zero. We study the ∗ -polynomial identities of M 3 (F) , where ∗=t is the transpose involution, through the representation theory of the hyperoctahedral group B n . After decomposing the space of multilinear ∗ -polynomial identities of degree n under the B n -action, we determine which irreducible B n -modules appear with non-zero multiplicity. In symbols, we write the nth ∗ -cocharacter χ n (M 3 (F),*)=∑ r=0 n ∑ λ⊢r,h(λ)⩽6 μ⊢n−r,h(μ)⩽3 m λ,μ χ λ,μ , where λ and μ are partitions of r and n−r , respectively, χ λ,μ is the irreducible B n -character associated to the pair (λ,μ) and m λ,μ ⩾0 i…
Ordinary and graded cocharacter of the Jordan algebra of 2x2 upper triangular matrices
2014
Abstract Let F be a field of characteristic zero and U J 2 ( F ) be the Jordan algebra of 2 × 2 upper triangular matrices over F . In this paper we give a complete description of the space of multilinear graded and ordinary identities in the language of Young diagrams through the representation theory of a Young subgroup of S n . For every Z 2 -grading of U J 2 ( F ) we compute the multiplicities in the graded cocharacter sequence and furthermore we compute the ordinary cocharacter.
Suzukiʼs type characterizations of completeness for partial metric spaces and fixed points for partially ordered metric spaces
2012
Abstract Recently, Suzuki [T. Suzuki, A generalized Banach contraction principle that characterizes metric completeness, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 136 (2008) 1861–1869] proved a fixed point theorem that is a generalization of the Banach contraction principle and characterizes the metric completeness. In this paper we prove an analogous fixed point result for a self-mapping on a partial metric space or on a partially ordered metric space. Our results on partially ordered metric spaces generalize and extend some recent results of Ran and Reurings [A.C.M. Ran, M.C. Reurings, A fixed point theorem in partially ordered sets and some applications to matrix equations, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 132 (2004…
Graphs of stable maps from closed surfaces to the projective plane
2018
Abstract We describe how to attach a weighted graph to each stable map from closed surfaces to projective plane and prove that any weighted graph with non negatively weighted vertices is the graph of some stable map from a closed surface to the projective plane.
On computing the degree of convexity of polyominoes
2015
In this paper we present an algorithm which has as input a convex polyomino $P$ and computes its degree of convexity, defined as the smallest integer $k$ such that any two cells of $P$ can be joined by a monotone path inside $P$ with at most $k$ changes of direction. The algorithm uses space $O(m + n)$ to represent a polyomino $P$ with $n$ rows and $m$ columns, and has a running time $O(min(m; r k))$, where $r$ is the number of corners of $P$. Moreover, the algorithm leads naturally to a decomposition of $P$ into simpler polyominoes.
Weak regularity and consecutive topologizations and regularizations of pretopologies
2009
Abstract L. Foged proved that a weakly regular topology on a countable set is regular. In terms of convergence theory, this means that the topological reflection Tξ of a regular pretopology ξ on a countable set is regular. It is proved that this still holds if ξ is a regular σ -compact pretopology. On the other hand, it is proved that for each n ω there is a (regular) pretopology ρ (on a set of cardinality c ) such that ( RT ) k ρ > ( RT ) n ρ for each k n and ( RT ) n ρ is a Hausdorff compact topology, where R is the reflector to regular pretopologies. It is also shown that there exists a regular pretopology of Hausdorff RT -order ⩾ ω 0 . Moreover, all these pretopologies have the property…
