This paper analyzes the convergence of fixed-point iterations of the form u = f(u) and the properties of the inverse of the related pentadiagonal matrices, associated with the fourth-order nonlinear beam equation. This nonlinear problem is…
After analyzing the 4x4 determinant of a matrix, a shortcut was obtained to find such a determinant. Similarly to the Sarrus method for 2x2 or 3x3 determinants, the method consists of laying 19 columns of size 4 each and adding and…
We prove that any invariant of a 4-quiver, that is piecewise polynomial, moreover, polynomial for fixed signs of entries, is a function of determinant of a quiver.
We extract the square root of the Minkowski metric using Dirac/Clifford matrices. The resulting $4\times 4$ operator $d{\bf S}$ that represents the square root, can be used to transform four vectors between relatively moving observers. This…
A generalized definition of the determinant of matrices is given, which is compatible with the usual determinant for square matrices and keeps many important properties, such as being an alternating multilinear function, keeping…
Linearization problem of ordinary differential equations by a new set of tangent transformations is considered in the paper. This set of transformations allows one to extend the set of transformations applied for the linearization problem.…
We identify and analyse obstructions to factorisation of integer matrices into products $N^T N$ or $N^2$ of matrices with rational or integer entries. The obstructions arise as quadratic forms with integer coefficients and raise the…
4x4 Dirac (gamma) matrices (irreducible matrix representations of the Clifford algebras C(3,1), C(1,3), C(4,0)) are an essential part of many calculations in quantum physics. Although the final physical results do not depend on the applied…
We study the problem of determining a matrix whose $k$th multiplicative compound is a prescribed matrix~$M$. The cardinality of the set of matrices whose $k$th multiplicative compound equals~$M$ is characterized in terms of $\rank(M)$. On…
The purpose of this article is to study determinants of matrices which are known as generalized Pascal triangles (see [1]). We present a factorization by expressing such a matrix as a product of a unipotent lower triangular matrix, a…
We have generalised the properties with the tensor product, of one 4x4 matrix which is a permutation matrix, and we call a tensor commutation matrix. Tensor commutation matrices can be constructed with or without calculus. A formula allows…
A forward problem for the Dirac system is to find $u=\begin{pmatrix}u_1(x,t)\\u_2(x,t)\end{pmatrix}$ obeying $iu_t+\begin{pmatrix}0&1\\-1&0\end{pmatrix}u_x+\begin{pmatrix}p&q\\q&-p\end{pmatrix}u=0$ for…
Over a field K of characteristic 0, we study the algebra of invariants of the general linear group GL(4,K) acting by simultaneous conjugation on two matrices of order 4. It coincides with the trace algebra generated by all traces of…
We present in this paper some fundamental tools for developing matrix analysis over the complex quaternion algebra. As applications, we consider generalized inverses, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, similarity, determinants of complex…
This paper presents a method for expressing the determinant of an N {\times} N complex block matrix in terms of its constituent blocks. The result allows one to reduce the determinant of a matrix with N^2 blocks to the product of the…
For a 4-D massive Dirac field in the background of arbitrary gauge fields, we show that the Dirac propagator and functional determinant are completely determined by knowledge of the corresponding quantities for just one of the chirality…
We apply Dirac's square root idea to constraints for embedded 4-geometries swept by a 3-dimensional membrane. The resulting Dirac-like equation is then analyzed for general coordinates as well as for the case of a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker…
In this note, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a matrix A in M to be finitely G-determined, where M is the ring of 2 x 2 matrices whose entries are formal power series over an infinite field, and G is a group acting on M by…
This note presents explicit formulae for the exponentials of a wide variety of matrices which are 4x4, anti-Hermitian. Easily verifiable conditions characterizing when such matrices admit one of three minimal polynomials are also given.…
A procedure to recover explicitly self-adjoint matrix Dirac systems on semi-axis (with both discrete and continuous components of spectrum) from rational Weyl functions is considered. Its stability is proved. GBDT version of…
