In addition to the diagonalization of a normal matrix by a unitary similarity transformation, there are two other types of diagonalization procedures that sometimes arise in quantum theory applications -- the singular value decomposition…

We present three different matrix bases that can be used to decompose density matrices of $d$--dimensional quantum systems, so-called qudits: the \emph{generalized Gell-Mann matrix basis}, the \emph{polarization operator basis}, and the…

We prove the decomposition of arbitrary diagonal operators into tensor and matrix products of smaller matrices, focusing on the analytic structure of the resulting formulas and their inherent symmetries. Diagrammatic representations are…

Wigner rotations and Iwasawa decompositions are manifestations of the internal space-time symmetries of massive and massless particles, respectively. It is shown to be possible to produce combinations of optical filters which exhibit…

Diagonalization, or eigenvalue decomposition, is very useful in many areas of applied mathematics, including signal processing and quantum physics. Matrix decomposition is also a useful tool for approximating matrices as the product of a…

This paper uses matrix transformations to provide the Autoone-Takagi decomposition of dual complex symmetric matrices and extends it to dual quaternion $\eta$-Hermitian matrices. The LU decomposition of dual matrices is given using the…

Decomposition of (finite-dimensional) operators in terms of orthogonal bases of matrices has been a standard method in quantum physics for decades. In recent years, it has become increasingly popular because of various methodologies applied…

We present three different matrix bases that can be used to decompose density matrices of d--dimensional quantum systems, so-called qudits: the generalized Gell-Mann matrix basis, the polarization operator basis, and the Weyl operator…

In this tutorial, exponentiation and factorization (decomposition) formulas are derived and discussed for common matrix operators that arise in studies of classical dynamics, linear and nonlinear optics, and special relativity. To…

We consider a $Q$-polynomial distance-regular graph $\Gamma$ with vertex set $X$ and diameter $D \geq 3$. For $\mu, \nu \in \lbrace \downarrow, \uparrow \rbrace$ we define a direct sum decomposition of the standard module $V=\C X$, called…

Complex Hermitian random matrices with a unitary symmetry can be distinguished by a weight function. When this is even, it is a known result that the distribution of the singular values can be decomposed as the superposition of two…

In polarization optics, an important role play Mueller matrices -- real four-dimensional matrices which describe the effect of action of optical elements on the polarization state of the light, described by 4-dimensional Stokes vectors. An…

We consider the decomposition of bounded linear operators on Hilbert spaces in terms of functions forming frames. Similar to the singular-value decomposition, the resulting frame decompositions encode information on the structure and…

We consider an $\ell_1$-regularized inverse problem where both the forward and regularization operators have a Kronecker product structure. By leveraging this structure, a joint decomposition can be obtained using generalized singular value…

The polar decomposition for a matrix $A$ is $A=UB$, where $B$ is a positive Hermitian matrix and $U$ is unitary (or, if $A$ is not square, an isometry). This paper shows that the ability to apply a Hamiltonian $\pmatrix{ 0 & A^\dagger \cr A…

We study a nonlinear decomposition of a positive definite matrix into two components: the inverse of another positive definite matrix and a symmetric matrix constrained to lie in a prescribed linear subspace. Equivalently, the inverse…

We generalize several important results from the perturbation theory of linear operators to the setting of semisimple orthogonal symmetric Lie algebras. These Lie algebras provide a unifying framework for various notions of matrix…

We propose a new method for computing the eigenvalue decomposition of a dense real normal matrix $A$ through the decomposition of its skew-symmetric part. The method relies on algorithms that are known to be efficiently implemented, such as…

We consider the problem of atmospheric tomography, as it appears for example in adaptive optics systems for extremely large telescopes. We derive a frame decomposition, i.e., a decomposition in terms of a frame, of the underlying…
