Convergent Matrix
In linear algebra, a convergent matrix is a matrix that converges to the zero matrix under matrix exponentiation. Background When successive powers of a matrix T become small (that is, when all of the entries of T approach zero, upon raising T to successive powers), the matrix T converges to the zero matrix. A regular splitting of a non-singular matrix A results in a convergent matrix T. A semi-convergent splitting of a matrix A results in a semi-convergent matrix T. A general iterative method converges for every initial vector if T is convergent, and under certain conditions if T is semi-convergent. Definition We call an ''n'' × ''n'' matrix T a convergent matrix if for each ''i'' = 1, 2, ..., ''n'' and ''j'' = 1, 2, ..., ''n''. Example Let :\begin & \mathbf = \begin \frac & \frac \\ pt0 & \frac \end. \end Computing successive powers of T, we obtain :\begin & \mathbf^2 = \begin \frac & \frac \\ pt0 & \frac \end, \quad \mathbf^3 = \begin \frac & \frac \\ pt0 & \frac ...

Linear Algebra
Linear algebra is the branch of mathematics concerning linear equations such as :a_1x_1+\cdots +a_nx_n=b, linear maps such as :(x_1, \ldots, x_n) \mapsto a_1x_1+\cdots +a_nx_n, and their representations in vector spaces and through matrix (mathematics), matrices. Linear algebra is central to almost all areas of mathematics. For instance, linear algebra is fundamental in modern presentations of geometry, including for defining basic objects such as line (geometry), lines, plane (geometry), planes and rotation (mathematics), rotations. Also, functional analysis, a branch of mathematical analysis, may be viewed as the application of linear algebra to Space of functions, function spaces. Linear algebra is also used in most sciences and fields of engineering because it allows mathematical model, modeling many natural phenomena, and computing efficiently with such models. For nonlinear systems, which cannot be modeled with linear algebra, it is often used for dealing with first-order a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
List Of Matrices
A list is a set of discrete items of information collected and set forth in some format for utility, entertainment, or other purposes. A list may be memorialized in any number of ways, including existing only in the mind of the list-maker, but lists are frequently written down on paper, or maintained electronically. Lists are "most frequently a tool", and "one does not ''read'' but only ''uses'' a list: one looks up the relevant information in it, but usually does not need to deal with it as a whole".Lucie Doležalová,The Potential and Limitations of Studying Lists, in Lucie Doležalová, ed., ''The Charm of a List: From the Sumerians to Computerised Data Processing'' (2009). Purpose It has been observed that, with a few exceptions, "the scholarship on lists remains fragmented". David Wallechinsky, a co-author of ''The Book of Lists'', described the attraction of lists as being "because we live in an era of overstimulation, especially in terms of information, and lists help us ...

Prentice–Hall
Prentice Hall was a major American educational publisher. It published print and digital content for the 6–12 and higher-education market. It was an independent company throughout the bulk of the twentieth century. In its last few years it was owned by, then absorbed into, Savvas Learning Company. In the Web era, it distributed its technical titles through the Safari Books Online e-reference service for some years. History On October 13, 1913, law professor Charles Gerstenberg and his student Richard Ettinger founded Prentice Hall. Gerstenberg and Ettinger took their mothers' maiden names, Prentice and Hall, to name their new company. At the time the name was usually styled as Prentice-Hall (as seen for example on many title pages), per an orthographic norm for coordinate elements within such compounds (compare also ''McGraw-Hill'' with later styling as ''McGraw Hill''). Prentice-Hall became known as a publisher of trade books by authors such as Norman Vincent Peale; eleme ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dover Publications
Dover Publications, also known as Dover Books, is an American book publisher founded in 1941 by Hayward and Blanche Cirker. It primarily reissues books that are out of print from their original publishers. These are often, but not always, books in the public domain. The original published editions may be scarce or historically significant. Dover republishes these books, making them available at a significantly reduced cost. Classic reprints Dover reprints classic works of literature, classical sheet music, and public-domain images from the 18th and 19th centuries. Dover also publishes an extensive collection of mathematical, scientific, and engineering texts. It often targets its reprints at a niche market, such as woodworking. Starting in 2015, the company branched out into graphic novel reprints, overseen by Dover acquisitions editor and former comics writer and editor Drew Ford. Most Dover reprints are photo facsimiles of the originals, retaining the original pagination ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Successive Over-relaxation
In numerical linear algebra, the method of successive over-relaxation (SOR) is a variant of the Gauss–Seidel method for solving a linear system of equations, resulting in faster convergence. A similar method can be used for any slowly converging iterative process. It was devised simultaneously by David M. Young Jr. and by Stanley P. Frankel in 1950 for the purpose of automatically solving linear systems on digital computers. Over-relaxation methods had been used before the work of Young and Frankel. An example is the method of Lewis Fry Richardson, and the methods developed by R. V. Southwell. However, these methods were designed for computation by human calculators, requiring some expertise to ensure convergence to the solution which made them inapplicable for programming on digital computers. These aspects are discussed in the thesis of David M. Young Jr. Formulation Given a square system of ''n'' linear equations with unknown x: :A\mathbf x = \mathbf b where: :A=\be ...

Nilpotent Matrix
In linear algebra, a nilpotent matrix is a square matrix ''N'' such that :N^k = 0\, for some positive integer k. The smallest such k is called the index of N, sometimes the degree of N. More generally, a nilpotent transformation is a linear transformation L of a vector space such that L^k = 0 for some positive integer k (and thus, L^j = 0 for all j \geq k). Both of these concepts are special cases of a more general concept of nilpotent, nilpotence that applies to elements of ring (algebra), rings. Examples Example 1 The matrix : A = \begin 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 \end is nilpotent with index 2, since A^2 = 0. Example 2 More generally, any n-dimensional triangular matrix with zeros along the main diagonal is nilpotent, with index \le n . For example, the matrix : B=\begin 0 & 2 & 1 & 6\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 2\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 3\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \end is nilpotent, with : B^2=\begin 0 & 0 & 2 & 7\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 3\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \end ;\ B^3=\begin 0 & 0 & 0 & 6\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & ...

Jacobi Method
In numerical linear algebra, the Jacobi method (a.k.a. the Jacobi iteration method) is an iterative algorithm for determining the solutions of a strictly diagonally dominant system of linear equations. Each diagonal element is solved for, and an approximate value is plugged in. The process is then iterated until it converges. This algorithm is a stripped-down version of the Jacobi transformation method of matrix diagonalization. The method is named after Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi. Description Let A\mathbf x = \mathbf b be a square system of ''n'' linear equations, where:A = \begin a_ & a_ & \cdots & a_ \\ a_ & a_ & \cdots & a_ \\ \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\a_ & a_ & \cdots & a_ \end, \qquad \mathbf = \begin x_ \\ x_2 \\ \vdots \\ x_n \end , \qquad \mathbf = \begin b_ \\ b_2 \\ \vdots \\ b_n \end. When A and \mathbf b are known, and \mathbf x is unknown, we can use the Jacobi method to approximate \mathbf x. The vector \mathbf x^ denotes our initial guess for \mat ...
