We give a useful new characterization of the set of all completely positive, trace-preserving (i.e., stochastic) maps from 2x2 matrices to 2x2 matrices. These conditions allow one to easily check any trace-preserving map for complete…
A new efficient orthogonalization of the B-spline basis is proposed and contrasted with some previous orthogonalized methods. The resulting orthogonal basis of splines is best visualized as a net of functions rather than a sequence of them.…
The Bernstein polynomial basis sees significant use owing to its unique properties, particularly in the field of optimal control. However, the basis is known to have a slow rate of convergence to the function it approximates. With this in…
It is well known that so called Breuer-Hall positive maps used in entanglement theory are optimal. We show that these maps possess much more subtle property --- they are exposed. As a byproduct it proves that a Robertson map in the algebra…
Let $X$ be an $F$-finite smooth scheme of essentially finite type over a perfect field. This article proves the existence of $b$-functions for locally finitely generated unit $F$-modules when equipped with their induced…
Most algorithms constructing bases of finite-dimensional vector spaces return basis vectors which, apart from orthogonality, do not show any special properties. While every basis is sufficient to define the vector space, not all bases are…
A new method of analysing positive bistochastic maps on the algebra of complex matrices $M_{3}$ has been proposed. By identifying the set of such maps with a convex set of linear operators on $\mathbb{R}^{8}$, one can employ techniques from…
In this paper, we are interested in the analysis of a well-known free boundary/shape optimization problem motivated by some issues arising in population dynamics. The question is to determine optimal spatial arrangements of favorable and…
A remarkable property of Hermitian ensembles is their universal behavior, that is, once properly rescaled the eigenvalue statistics does not depend on particularities of the ensemble. Recently, normal matrix ensembles have attracted…
Beilinson-Bernstein localization realizes representations of complex reductive Lie algebras as monodromic $D$-modules on the "basic affine space" $G/N$, a torus bundle over the flag variety. A doubled version of the same space appears as…
Semipositive matrices (matrices that map at least one nonnegative vector to a positive vector) and minimally semipositive matrices (semipositive matrices whose no column-deleted submatrix is semipositive) are well studied in matrix theory.…
Let $K$ be a complete ultrametric field of charactersitic zero whose corresponding residue field $\Bbbk$ is also of charactersitic zero. We give lower and upper bounds for the size of linearization disks for power series over $K$ near an…
We characterize real Banach spaces $Y$ such that the pair $(\ell_\infty ^n, Y)$ has the Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as property for operators. To this purpose it is essential the use of an appropriate basis of the domain space $\R^n$. As a…
We study two notions of approximate Birkhoff-James orthogonality in a normed space, from a geometric point of view, and characterize them in terms of normal cones. We further explore the interconnection between normal cones and approximate…
The complete eigenstructure, or structural data, of a rational matrix $R(s)$ is comprised by its invariant rational functions, both finite and at infinity, which in turn determine its finite and infinite pole and zero structures,…
We classify $n\times n$-matrix-valued continuous commutativity and spectrum preservers defined on spaces of (a) normal, (b) semisimple and (c) arbitrary $n\times n$ matrices with spectra contained in sufficiently connected subsets…
A mixed basis approach based on density functional theory is employed for low dimensional systems. The basis functions are taken to be plane waves for the periodic direction multiplied by B-spline polynomials in the non-periodic direction.…
In this paper we study analogues of the perfect splines for weighted Sobolev classes of functions defined on the half-line. Maximally oscillating splines play important role in the solution of certain extremal problems. In particular, using…
We explore extended B-splines as a stable basis for isogeometric analysis with trimmed parameter spaces. The stabilization is accomplished by an appropriate substitution of B-splines that may lead to ill-conditioned system matrices. The…
In this work some results on the structure-preserving diagonalization of selfadjoint and skewadjoint matrices in indefinite inner product spaces are presented. In particular, necessary and sufficient conditions on the symplectic…
