The Jaffa Transform for Hessian Matrix Systems and the Laplace Equation

Hessian matrices are square matrices consisting of all possible combinations of second partial derivatives of a scalar-valued initial function. As such, Hessian matrices may be treated as elementary matrix systems of linear second-order partial differential equations. This paper discusses the Hessian and its applications in optimization, and then proceeds to introduce and derive the notion of the Jaffa Transform, a new linear operator that directly maps a Hessian square matrix space to the initial corresponding scalar field in nth dimensional Euclidean space. The Jaffa Transform is examined, including the properties of the operator, the transform of notable matrices, and the existence of an inverse Jaffa Transform, which is, by definition, the Hessian matrix operator. The Laplace equation is then noted and investigated, particularly, the relation of the Laplace equation to Poisson’s equation, and the theoretical applications and correlations of harmonic functions to Hessian matrices. The paper concludes by introducing and explicating the Jaffa Theorem, a principle that declares the existence of harmonic Jaffa Transforms, which are, essentially, Jaffa Transform solutions to the Laplace partial differential equation.

This paper discusses the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of Hermite positive definite solutions of the quaternion matrix equation Xm+ B*XB = C (m > 0) and its iterative solution method. According to the characteristics of the coefficient matrix, a corresponding algebraic equation system is ingeniously constructed, and by discussing the equation system’s solvability, the matrix equation’s existence interval is obtained. Based on the characteristics of the coefficient matrix, some necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of Hermitian positive definite solutions of the matrix equation are derived.

Solutions to the generalized Sylvester matrixequations by a singular value decomposition

In this paper, solutions to the generalized Sylvester matrix equations AX -XF = BY and MXN -X = TY with A, M ∈ R^n×n, B, T ∈ Rn×r, F, N ∈ R^p×p and the matrices N, F being in companion form, are established by a singular value decomposition of a matrix with dimensions n × （n ＋ pr）.
