We present a new method for computing orbits in the perturbed two-body problem: the position and velocity vectors of the propagated object in Cartesian coordinates are replaced by eight orbital elements, i.e., constants of the unperturbed…

Unitary matrices which are zero below the secondary diagonal (Hessenberg unitary matrices) have many uses in analysis. Given a set of needed conditions on a unitary matrix, this algorithm will give the sparsest unitary matrix. We give an…

Let $R$ be an associative ring with identity and let $N$ be a nil ideal of $R$. It is shown that units of $R/N$ can be lifted to units in $R$. Under some mild conditions on the ring, a procedure is given to determine those lifted units in a…

We give sufficient conditions on a matrix A ensuring the existence of a partition of this matrix into two submatrices with extremely small norm of the image of any vector. Under some weak conditions on a matrix A we obtain a partition of A…

Let $f$ be a homeomorphism of the closed annulus $A$ isotopic to the identity, and let $X\subset {\rm Int}A$ be an $f$-invariant continuum which separates $A$ into two domains, the upper domain $U_+$ and the lower domain $U_-$. Fixing a…

It has long been known to mathematicians and physicists that while a full rotation in three-dimensional Euclidean space causes tangling, two rotations can be untangled. Formally, an untangling is a based nullhomotopy of the double-twist…

Let $(S,*)$ be an involutive local ring and let $U(2m,S)$ be the unitary group associated to a nondegenerate skew hermitian form defined on a free $S$-module of rank $2m$. A presentation of $U(2m,S)$ is given in terms of Bruhat generators…

We investigate sums of exceptional units in a quaternion ring $H(R)$ over a finite commutative ring $R$. We prove that in order to find the number of representations of an element in $H(R)$ as a sum of $k$ exceptional units for some integer…

The present paper is devoted to study the effect of connected and disconnected rotations of G\"odel algebras with operators grounded on directly indecomposable structures. The structures resulting from this construction we will present are…

Let $n>1$, and $\{U_{ij}\}$ for $1 \leq i < j \leq n$ be $\binom{n}{2}$ commuting unitaries on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ such that $U_{ji}:=U^*_{ij}$. An $n$-tuple of contractions $(T_1, \dots, T_n)$ on $\mathcal{H}$ is called…

Let $A$ be a definite quaternion algebra over $\mathbb Q$, with discriminant $D_A$, and $O$ a maximal order of $A$. We show that the minimum of the positive definite hamiltonian binary forms over $O$ with discrimiminant $-1$ is…

We study the time complexity of computing the $(\min,+)$ matrix product of two $n\times n$ integer matrices in terms of $n$ and the number of monotone subsequences the rows of the first matrix and the columns of the second matrix can be…

In this article we define the semigroup associated to a substitution. We use it to construct a minimal automaton which generates a substitution sequence u in reverse reading. We show, in the case where the substitution has a coincidence,…

Two related questions are discussed. The first is when reflection symmetry in a finite set of $i$-dimensional subspaces, $i\in \{1,\dots,n-1\}$, implies full rotational symmetry, i.e., the closure of the group generated by the reflections…

If $R$ is a regular and semiartinian ring, it is proved that the following conditions are equivalent: (1) $R$ is unit-regular, (2) every factor ring of $R$ is directly finite, (3) the abelian group $K_0(R)$ is free and admits a basis which…

This paper revisits the topic of rotation estimation through the lens of special unitary matrices. We begin by reformulating Wahba's problem using $SU(2)$ to derive multiple solutions that yield linear constraints on corresponding…
