Hermite Positive Definite Solution of the Quaternion Matrix Equation Xm + B*XB = C

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. Then, the upper and lower bounds of the positive actual solutions are estimated by using matrix inequalities. Four iteration formats are constructed according to the given conditions and existence intervals, and their convergence is proven. The selection method for the initial matrix is also provided. Finally, using the complexification operator of quaternion matrices, an equivalent iteration on the complex field is established to solve the equation in the Matlab environment. Two numerical examples are used to test the effectiveness and feasibility of the given method. .

Positive definiteness of real quadratic forms resulting from the variable-step L1-type approximations of convolution operators

The positive definiteness of real quadratic forms with convolution structures plays an important rolein stability analysis for time-stepping schemes for nonlocal operators. In this work, we present a novel analysistool to handle discrete convolution kernels resulting from variable-step approximations for convolution operators.More precisely, for a class of discrete convolution kernels relevant to variable-step L1-type time discretizations, weshow that the associated quadratic form is positive definite under some easy-to-check algebraic conditions. Ourproof is based on an elementary constructing strategy by using the properties of discrete orthogonal convolutionkernels and discrete complementary convolution kernels. To our knowledge, this is the first general result onsimple algebraic conditions for the positive definiteness of variable-step discrete convolution kernels. Using theunified theory, we obtain the stability for some simple nonuniform time-stepping schemes straightforwardly.

A SHIFT-SPLITTING PRECONDITIONER FOR NON-HERMITIAN POSITIVE DEFINITE MATRICES

A shift splitting concept is introduced and, correspondingly, a shift-splitting iteration scheme and a shift-splitting preconditioner are presented, for solving the large sparse system of linear equations of which the coefficient matrix is an ill-conditioned non-Hermitian positive definite matrix. The convergence property of the shift-splitting iteration method and the eigenvalue distribution of the shift-splitting preconditioned matrix are discussed in depth, and the best possible choice of the shift is investigated in detail. Numerical computations show that the shift-splitting preconditioner can induce accurate, robust and effective preconditioned Krylov subspace iteration methods for solving the large sparse non-Hermitian positive definite systems of linear equations.

Based on the fixed-point theory, we study the existence and the uniqueness of the maximal Hermitian positive definite solution of the nonlinear matrix equation X＋A^＊X^-2A=Q, where Q is a square Hermitian positive definite matrix and A＊ is the conjugate transpose of the matrix A. We also demonstrate some essential properties and analyze the sensitivity of this solution. In addition, we derive computable error bounds about the approximations to the maximal Hermitian positive definite solution of the nonlinear matrix equation X＋A^＊X^-2A=Q. At last, we further generalize these results to the nonlinear matrix equation X＋A^＊X^-nA=Q, where n≥2 is a given positive integer.

Analysis of Sparse Quasi-Newton Updates with Positive Definite Matrix Completion

Based on the idea of maximum determinant positive definite matrix completion,Yamashita(Math Prog 115(1):1–30,2008)proposed a new sparse quasi-Newton update,called MCQN,for unconstrained optimization problems with sparse Hessian structures.In exchange of the relaxation of the secant equation,the MCQN update avoids solving difficult subproblems and overcomes the ill-conditioning of approximate Hessian matrices.However,local and superlinear convergence results were only established for the MCQN update with the DFP method.In this paper,we extend the convergence result to the MCQN update with the whole Broyden’s convex family.Numerical results are also reported,which suggest some efficient ways of choosing the parameter in the MCQN update the Broyden’s family.

A Two-Step Shape-Preserving Advection Scheme

This paper proposes a new two-step non-oscillatory shape-preserving positive definite finite difference advection transport scheme, which merges the advantages of small dispersion error in the simple first-order upstream scheme and small dissipation error in the simple second-order Lax-Wendroff scheme and is completely different from most of present positive definite advection schemes which are based on revising the upstream scheme results. The proposed scheme is much less time consuming than present shape-preserving or non-oscillatory advection transport schemes and produces results which are comparable to the results obtained from the present more complicated schemes. Elementary tests are also presented to examine the behavior of the scheme.
