Commutators of Skew-Symmetric Matrices
In this paper we develop a theory for analysing the size of a Lie bracket or commutator in a matrix Lie algebra. Complete details are given for the Lie algebra so(n) of skew symmetric matrices. 1 Norms and commutators in Mn[R] and so(n) This paper is concerned with the following question. Let g be a Lie algebra (Carter, Segal & Macdonald 1995, Humphreys 1978, Varadarajan 1984). Given X,Y ∈ g an...
متن کاملPrincipally Unimodular Skew-Symmetric Matrices
A square matrix is principally unimodular if every principal submatrix has determinant 0 or 1. Let A be a symmetric (0; 1)-matrix, with a zero diagonal. A PU-orientation of A is a skew-symmetric signing of A that is PU. If A 0 is a PU-orientation of A, then, by a certain decomposition of A, we can construct every PU-orientation of A from A 0. This construction is based on the fact that the PU-o...
متن کاملOn skew-symmetric differentiation matrices
The theme of this paper is the construction of finite-difference approximations to the first derivative in the presence of Dirichlet boundary conditions. Stable implementation of splitting-based discretisation methods for the convectiondiffusion equation requires the underlying matrix to be skew symmetric and this turns out to be a surprisingly restrictive condition. We prove that no skewsymmet...
متن کاملCholesky-like Factorizations of Skew-symmetric Matrices
As will be shown in this paper, there always exists an R such that (1.1) holds. We present a stable O(n3) algorithm that computes an R that has the form of a permuted triangular matrix. Our motivation comes from eigenvalue problems with Hamiltonian structure. A matrix H ∈ R is said to be Hamiltonian if (JH) = JH and skew-Hamiltonian if (JH) = −JH . EXAMPLE 1. The study of corner singularities i...
متن کاملExponentials of skew-symmetric matrices and logarithms of orthogonal matrices
The authors show that there is a generalization of Rodrigues’ formula for computing the exponential map exp: so(n)→SO(n) from skewsymmetric matrices to orthogonal matrices when n ≥ 4, and give a method for computing some determination of the (multivalued) function log: SO(n) → so(n). The key idea is the decomposition of a skew-symmetric n×n matrix B in terms of (unique) skew-symmetric matrices ...
