Schur Forms and Normal-Nilpotent Decompositions

Real and complex Schur forms have been receiving increasing attention from the fluid mechanics community recently,especially related to vortices and turbulence.Several decompositions of the velocity gradient tensor,such as the triple decomposition of motion(TDM)and normal-nilpotent decomposition(NND),have been proposed to analyze the local motions of fluid elements.However,due to the existence of different types and non-uniqueness of Schur forms,as well as various possible definitions of NNDs,confusion has spread widely and is harming the research.This work aims to clean up this confusion.To this end,the complex and real Schur forms are derived constructively from the very basics,with special consideration for their non-uniqueness.Conditions of uniqueness are proposed.After a general discussion of normality and nilpotency,a complex NND and several real NNDs as well as normal-nonnormal decompositions are constructed,with a brief comparison of complex and real decompositions.Based on that,several confusing points are clarified,such as the distinction between NND and TDM,and the intrinsic gap between complex and real NNDs.Besides,the author proposes to extend the real block Schur form and its corresponding NNDs for the complex eigenvalue case to the real eigenvalue case.But their justification is left to further investigations.

Discussion on the Complex Structure of Nilpotent Lie Groups Gk

Consider the real, simply-connected, connected, s-step nilpotent Lie group G endowed with a left-invariant, integrable almost complex structure J, which is nilpotent. Consider the simply-connected, connected nilpotent Lie group Gk, defined by the nilpotent Lie algebra g/ak, where g is the Lie algebra of G, and ak is an ideal of g. Then, J gives rise to an almost complex structure Jk on Gk. The main conclusion obtained is as follows: if the almost complex structure J of a nilpotent Lie group G is nilpotent, then J can give rise to a left-invariant integrable almost complex structure Jk on the nilpotent Lie group Gk, and Jk is also nilpotent.

Using Normal Form of Nilpotent Matrices over Finite Fields to Construct Cartesian Authentication Codes

Let Fq be a finite field. In this paper, a construction of Cartesian au-thentication codes from the normal form of a class of nilpotent matrices over the field Fq is presented. Moreover, assume that the encoding rules are chosen according to a uniform probability distribution, the probabilities PI and PS, of a successful im-personation attack and of a successful substitution attack respectively, of these codes are also computed.

Finitely Generated Torsion-free Nilpotent Groups Admitting an Automorphism of Prime Order

Let G be a finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent group and a an automorphism of prime order p of G. If the map ψ ： G → G defined by g^φ = [g, α] is surjective, then the nilpotent class of G is at most h（p）, where h（p） is a function depending only on p. In particular, if α^3 = 1, then the nilpotent class of G is at most 2.

Linear Operators That Strongly Preserve Nilpotent Matrices over Antinegative Semirings

Let S be an antinegative commutative semiring without zero divisors and Mn（S） be the semiring of all n × n matrices over S. For a linear operator L on Mn（S）, we say that L strongly preserves nilpotent matrices in Mn（S） if for any A ∈ Mn（S）, A is nilpotent if and only if L（A） is nilpotent. In this paper, the linear operators that strongly preserve nilpotent matrices over S are characterized.

A Note on Nilpotent Operators

We find that a bounded linear operator T on a complex Hilbert space H satisfies the norm relation |||T|na|| =2q, for any vector a in H such that q≤(||Ta||-4-1||Ta||2)≤1.A partial converse to Theorem 1 by Haagerup and Harpe in [1] is suggested. We establish an upper bound for the numerical radius of nilpotent operators.

GROUPS WHOSE PROPER QUOTIENTS ARE FINITE—BY—NILPOTENT

A group G is said to an FNc-group if the （c+1）th term γc+1G of its lower central series is finite（or equivalently if it is finite-by-nilpotent of class≤c）.A group G is called a JNFNc-group if all itsproper quotients are FNc-groupe but G itself is not.The structure of JNFA-groups（JNFNc-groupswith c=1） has been described in a joint work of D.J.S Robinson and the author（see J.Algebra,（2）118（1988）,346～368）.Now we consider JNFNc-groups with non-trivial Fitting subgroup forarbitrary c and give a complete description of groups of this type.

Some additive results for the generalized Drazin inverse in a Banach algebra

Let a, b be two generalized Drazin invertible elements in a Banach algebra. An explicit expression for the generalized Drazin inverse of the sum a + b in terms of a,b,a^d,b^d is given. The generalized Drazin inverse for the sum of two elements in a Banach algebra is studied by means of the system of idempotents. It is first proved that a + b∈A^(qnil) under the condition that a,b∈A^(qnil),aba = 0 and ab^2= 0 and then the explicit expressions for the generalized Drazin inverse of the sum a + b under some newconditions are given. Also, some known results are extended.

On Skew Power-serieswise nil-Armendariz Rings

For a ring endomorphism α, in this paper we introduce the notion of s-power- serieswise nil-Armendariz rings, which are a generalization of α-power-serieswise Armendariz rings. A number of properties of this generalization are established, and the extensions of α- power-serieswise nil-Armendariz rings are investigated. Which generalizes the corresponding results of nil-Armendariz rings and power-serieswise nil-Armendariz rings.

Thermal Stresses and Theorem on Decomposition

The thermal expansion strain is considered as a special case of eigenstrain.The authors proved the theorem on decomposition of eigenstrain existing in a body into two constituents:Impotent eigenstrain(not causing stress in any point of a body)and nilpotent eigenstrain(not causing strain in any point of a body).According to this theorem,the thermal stress can be easily found through the nilpotent eigenstrain.If the eigenstrain is an impotent one,the thermal stress vanishes.In this case,the eigenstrain must be compatible.The authors suggest a new approach to measure of eigenstrain incompatibility and hence to estimate of thermal stresses.
