Applications of quadratic D-forms to generalized quadratic forms
In this paper, we study generalized quadratic forms over a division algebra with involution of the first kind in characteristic two. For this, we associate to every generalized quadratic from a quadratic form on its underlying vector space. It is shown that this form determines the isotropy behavior and the isometry class of generalized quadratic forms.
متن کاملCodes , Quadratic Forms and Finite
We study nonlinear binary error{correcting codes closely related to nite geometries and quadratic forms, and having links with ex-tremal Euclidean line{sets and with recently introducedcodes over Z 4. Our emphasis is on geometric and combinatorial properties of highly structured families of codes. The following diagram gives an indication of the main topics and inter-connections arising in this...
متن کاملDifferential Criteria for Positive Definiteness
We show how the Mellin transform can be used to derive differential criteria for integral representations of functions as scale mixtures, and apply this idea to derive differential criteria for positive definiteness of functions in a manner similar to that of Gneiting (1999,2001). We also give a simple derivation of Williamson’s result on multiply monotone functions (Williamson, 1956), with a l...
متن کاملPairs of Quadratic Forms over Finite Fields
Let Fq be a finite field with q elements and let X be a set of matrices over Fq. The main results of this paper are explicit expressions for the number of pairs (A,B) of matrices in X such that A has rank r, B has rank s, and A + B has rank k in the cases that (i) X is the set of alternating matrices over Fq and (ii) X is the set of symmetric matrices over Fq for odd q. Our motivation to study ...
متن کاملPencils of quadratic forms over finite fields
A formula for the number of common zeros of a non-degenerate pencil of quadratic forms is given. This is applied to pencils which count binary strings with an even number of 1’s prescribed distances apart.
