First-order optical systems with unimodular eigenvalues.
It is shown that a lossless first-order optical system whose real symplectic ray transformation matrix can be diagonalized and has only unimodular eigenvalues is similar to a separable fractional Fourier transformer in the sense that the ray transformation matrices of the unimodular system and the separable fractional Fourier transformer are related by means of a similarity transformation. More...
متن کاملGeometrical aspects of first-order optical systems
We reconsider the basic properties of ray-transfer matrices for firstorder optical systems from a geometrical viewpoint. In the paraxial regime of scalar wave optics, there is a wide family of beams for which the action of a raytransfer matrix can be fully represented as a bilinear transformation on the upper complex half-plane, which is the hyperbolic plane. Alternatively, this action can be a...
متن کاملA note on unimodular eigenvalues for palindromic eigenvalue problems
We consider the occurrence of unimodular eigenvalues for palindromic eigenvalue problems associated with the matrix polynomial Pn(λ) ≡ ∑n i=0Aiλ i where Ai = An−i with M∗ ≡ M , M or PMP (P 2 = I). From the properties of palindromic eigenvalues and their characteristic polynomials, we show that eigenvalues are not generically excluded from the unit circle, thus occurring quite often, except for ...
متن کاملThe Asymptotic Eigenvalues of First-Order Spectral Differentiation Matrices
We complete and extend the asymptotic analysis of the spectrum of Jacobi Tau approximations that were first considered by Dubiner. The asymptotic formulas for Jacobi polynomials N P ( , ) , , 1 > − α β α β are derived and confirmed by numerical approximations. More accurate results for the slowest decaying mode are obtained. We explain where the large negative eigenvalues come from. Furthermore...
متن کاملA Pure First Order Representation for Undamped Second Order Descriptor Systems
The aim of this paper is to analyze the undamped second order descriptor systems to show the possibility of transform an undamped second order descriptor system to a pure first order descriptor system ,on different ways, while stating some of its benefits. Meanwhile we will introduce pure first order systems and undamped second order systems and indicate that under some assumptions every undamp...
