DIAGONALLY COMPENSATED REDUCTION AND MULTISPLITTING OF A SYMMETRIC POSITIVE DEFINITE MATRIX

To solve the symmetric positive definite linear system Ax = b on parallel and vector machines, multisplitting methods are considered. Here the s.p.d. (symmetric positive definite) matrix A need not be assumed in a special form (e.g. the dissection form [11]). The main tool for deriving our methods is the diagonally compensated reduction (cf. [1]). The convergence of such methods is also discussed by using this tool. [WT5,5”HZ]

SYMMETRIC POSITIVE DEFINITE SOLUTIONS OF MATRIX EQUATIONS (AX,XB)=(C,D) AND AXB=C

The symmetric positive definite solutions of matrix equations (AX,XB)=(C,D) and AXB=C are considered in this paper. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the matrix equations to have symmetric positive definite solutions are derived using the singular value and the generalized singular value decompositions. The expressions for the general symmetric positive definite solutions are given when certain conditions hold.

Serum matrix metalloproteinase 3 in detecting remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema syndrome: A case report

We report a case of remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema(RS3 PE) syndrome in a 71-year-old woman. She referred to our hospital with finger stiffness, edema of both hands and feet, pain of bilateral shoulder, wrist, metacarpophalangeal, proximal interphalangeal, and ankle joints. Rheumatoid factor was negative, human leukocyte antigen-B7 antigen was positive. Moreover, matrix metalloproteinase 3(MMP-3) was high. She was diagnosed with RS3 PE syndrome, and treatment with prednisolone(15 mg/d) was started. One week after prednisolone treatment initiation, CRP decreased to negative, and joint pain was almost completely resolved. However, hand stiffness persisted, and MMP-3 level was still high. Thus, prednisolone dose was increased to 20 mg/d, and the stiffness resolved. Twenty days after treatment initiation, MMP-3 was normalized. MMP-3 was more indicative of RS3 PE syndrome symptoms than CRP. Thus, MMP-3 seems to be more sensitive to RS3 PE syndrome symptoms.

THE STRESS SUBSPACE OF HYBRID STRESS ELEMENT AND THE DIAGONALIZATION METHOD FOR FLEXIBILITY MATRIX H

The following is proved: 1) The linear independence of assumed stress modes is the necessary and sufficient condition for the nonsingular flexibility matrix; 2) The equivalent assumed stress modes lead to the identical hybrid element. The Hilbert stress subspace of the assumed stress modes is established. So, it is easy to derive the equivalent orthogonal normal stress modes by Schmidt's method. Because of the resulting diagonal flexibility matrix, the identical hybrid element is free from the complex matrix inversion so that the hybrid efficiency, is improved greatly. The numerical examples show that the method is effective.

Voltage and Current Mode Vector Analyses of Correction Procedure Application to Clarke’s Matrix—Symmetrical Three-Phase Cases

Clarke’s matrix has been applied as a phase-mode transformation matrix to three-phase transmission lines substituting the eigenvector matrices. Considering symmetrical untransposed three-phase lines, an actual symmetrical three-phase line on untransposed conditions is associated with Clarke’s matrix for error and frequency scan analyses in this paper. Error analyses are calculated for the eigenvalue diagonal elements obtained from Clarke’s matrix. The eigenvalue off-diagonal elements from the Clarke’s matrix application are compared to the correspondent exact eigenvalues. Based on the characteristic impedance and propagation function values, the frequency scan analyses show that there are great differences between the Clarke’s matrix results and the exact ones, considering frequency values from 10 kHz to 1 MHz. A correction procedure is applied obtaining two new transformation matrices. These matrices lead to good approximated results when compared to the exact ones. With the correction procedure applied to Clarke’s matrix, the relative values of the eigenvalue matrix off-diagonal element obtained from Clarke’s matrix are decreased while the frequency scan results are improved. The steps of correction procedure application are detailed, investigating the influence of each step on the obtained two new phase-mode transformation matrices.

Derivative of a Determinant with Respect to an Eigenvalue in the <i>LDU</i>Decomposition of a Non-Symmetric Matrix

We demonstrate that, when computing the LDU decomposition (a typical example of a direct solution method), it is possible to obtain the derivative of a determinant with respect to an eigenvalue of a non-symmetric matrix. Our proposed method augments an LDU decomposition program with an additional routine to obtain a program for easily evaluating the derivative of a determinant with respect to an eigenvalue. The proposed method follows simply from the process of solving simultaneous linear equations and is particularly effective for band matrices, for which memory requirements are significantly reduced compared to those for dense matrices. We discuss the theory underlying our proposed method and present detailed algorithms for implementing it.

QL Method for Symmetric Tridiagonal Matrices

QL(QR) method is an efficient method to find eigenvalues of a matrix. Especially we use QL(QR) method to find eigenvalues of a symmetric tridiagonal matrix. In this case it only costs O(n2) flops, to find all eigenvalues. So it is one of the most efficient method for symmetric tridiagonal matrices. Many experts have researched it. Even the method is mature, it still has many problems need to be researched. We put forward five problems here. They are: (1) Convergence and convergence rate; (2) The convergence of diagonal elements; (3) Shift designed to produce the eigenvalues in monotone order; (4) QL algorithm with multi-shift; (5) Error bound. We intoduce our works on these problems, some of them were published and some are new.

It is proved that the set of all symmetric real matrices of order n with eigenvalues lying in the interval(α, β), denoted by Sn(α,β), is convex in Rn×n. With this result, some known results on positive(negative) definiteness, and Hurwitz(Shur) stability, as well as the aperiodic property of polytopes of symmetric matrices are generalized, and a series of insightful necessary and sufficient conditions for some general set of symmetric matrices contained in Sn(α,β) are presented,which are directly available for analysis of the positive(negative) definiteness, Hurwitz(Shur) stability and the aperiodic property of a wide class of sets of symmetric matrices.

Finding the Maximal Eigenpair for a Large, Dense, Symmetric Matrix based on Mufa Chen's Algorithm

A hybrid method is presented for determining maximal eigenvalue and its eigenvector(called eigenpair)of a large,dense,symmetric matrix.Many problems require finding only a small part of the eigenpairs,and some require only the maximal one.In a series of papers,efficient algorithms have been developed by Mufa Chen for computing the maximal eigenpairs of tridiagonal matrices with positive off-diagonal elements.The key idea is to explicitly construet effective initial guess of the maximal eigenpair and then to employ a self-closed iterative algorithm.In this paper we will extend Mufa Chen's algorithm to find maximal eigenpair for a large scale,dense,symmetric matrix.Our strategy is to first convert the underlying matrix into the tridiagonal form by using similarity transformations.We then handle the cases that prevent us from applying Chen's algorithm directly,e.g.,the cases with zero or negative super-or sub-diagonal elements.Serval numerical experiments are carried out to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed hybrid method.

Derivative of a Determinant with Respect to an Eigenvalue in the Modified Cholesky Decomposition of a Symmetric Matrix, with Applications to Nonlinear Analysis

In this paper, we obtain a formula for the derivative of a determinant with respect to an eigenvalue in the modified Cholesky decomposition of a symmetric matrix, a characteristic example of a direct solution method in computational linear algebra. We apply our proposed formula to a technique used in nonlinear finite-element methods and discuss methods for determining singular points, such as bifurcation points and limit points. In our proposed method, the increment in arc length (or other relevant quantities) may be determined automatically, allowing a reduction in the number of basic parameters. The method is particularly effective for banded matrices, which allow a significant reduction in memory requirements as compared to dense matrices. We discuss the theoretical foundations of our proposed method, present algorithms and programs that implement it, and conduct numerical experiments to investigate its effectiveness.

Security Implementation in WSN with Symmetric and Matrix Mapping on Asymmetric ECC Cryptographic Techniques

As the wireless sensor networks are easily deployable, the volume of sensor applications has been increased widely in various fields of military and commercial areas. In order to attain security on the data exchanged over the network, a hybrid cryptographic mechanism which includes both symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic functions is used. The public key cryptographic ECC security implementation in this paper performs a matrix mapping of data’s at the points on the elliptical curve, which are further encoded using the private symmetric cipher cryptographic algorithm. This security enhancement with the hybrid mechanism of ECC and symmetric cipher cryptographic scheme achieves efficiency in energy conservation of about 7% and 4% compared to the asymmetric and symmetric cipher security implementations in WSN.

Diagonally loaded SMI algorithm based on inverse matrix recursion

The derivation of a diagonally loaded sample-matrix inversion （LSMI） algorithm on the busis of inverse matrix recursion （i.e.LSMI-IMR algorithm） is conducted by reconstructing the recursive formulation of covariance matrix. For the new algorithm, diagonal loading is by setting initial inverse matrix without any addition of computation. In addition, a corresponding improved recursive algorithm is presented, which is low computational complexity. This eliminates the complex multiplications of the scalar coefficient and updating matrix, resulting in significant computational savings. Simulations show that the LSMI-IMR algorithm is valid.
