Extending Positive Definiteness
The main result of this paper gives criteria for extendibility of mappings defined on symmetric subsets of ∗-semigroups to positive definite ones. By specifying the mappings in question we obtain new solutions of relevant issues in harmonic analysis concerning truncations of some important multivariate moment problems, like complex, two-sided complex and multidimensional trigonometric moment pr...
متن کاملComputational Geometry of Positive Definiteness
In matrix computations, such as in factoring matrices, Hermitian and, preferably, positive definite elements are occasionally required. Related problems can often be cast as that of existence of respective elements in a matrix subspace. For two dimensional matrix subspaces, first results in this regard are due to Finsler. To assess positive definiteness in larger dimensional cases, the task bec...
متن کاملEinstein’s Energy-Free Gravitational Field
We show that Einstein’s gravitational field has zero energy, momentum, and stress. This conclusion follows directly from the gravitational field equations, in conjunction with the differential law of energy-momentum conservation T ;ν = 0. Einstein rejected this conservation law despite the fact that it is generally covariant. We trace his rejection to a misapplication of Gauss’ divergence formu...
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 کاملAction and Energy of the Gravitational Field
We present a detailed examination of the variational principle for metric general relativity as applied to a " quasilocal " spacetime region M (that is, a region that is both spatially and temporally bounded). Our analysis relies on the Hamiltonian formulation of general relativity, and thereby assumes a foliation of M into spacelike hypersurfaces Σ. We allow for near complete generality in the...
