Self-adjoint operators from selected nonsymmetric matrices: application to kinetics and rectiiication
نویسنده
چکیده
AMIt is shown that two problems, one which has become a classic in chemical kinetics developed by Wei and Prater and the other a more prosaic development in multicomponent rectification, when cast in the proper mathematical framework become amenable to a more direct solution. This involves the. selection of the proper inner product on a tlnite dimensional vector space so that the linear operators become selfadjoint.

A note on $lambda$-Aluthge transforms of operators
Let $A=U|A|$ be the polar decomposition of an operator $A$ on a Hilbert space $mathscr{H}$ and $lambdain(0,1)$. The $lambda$-Aluthge transform of $A$ is defined by $tilde{A}_lambda:=|A|^lambda U|A|^{1-lambda}$. In this paper we show that emph{i}) when $mathscr{N}(|A|)=0$, $A$ is self-adjoint if and only if so is $tilde{A}_lambda$ for some $lambdaneq{1over2}$. Also $A$ is self adjoint if and onl...
متن کاملAn optimal adaptive wavelet method for nonsymmetric and indefinite elliptic problems∗
In this paper, we modify the adaptive wavelet algorithm from [Technical Report 1325, Department of Mathematics, Utrecht University, March 2005] so that it applies directly, i.e., without forming the normal equation, not only to self-adjoint elliptic operators but also to such operators to which generally nonsymmetric lower order terms are added, assuming that the resulting operator equation is ...
متن کاملCombination preconditioning and self-adjointness in non-standard inner products with application to saddle point problems
It is widely appreciated that the iterative solution of linear systems of equations with large sparse matrices is much easier when the matrix is symmetric. It is equally advantageous to employ symmetric iterative methods when a nonsymmetric matrix is self-adjoint in a non-standard inner product. Here, general conditions for such self-adjointness are considered. In particular, a number of known ...

On utilizing the spectral representation of selfadjoint operators in Hilbert spaces, some error bounds in approximating $n$-time differentiable functions of selfadjoint operators in Hilbert Spaces via a Taylor's type expansion are given.
متن کاملSpectral Properties of Random Non-self-adjoint Matrices and Operators
We describe some numerical experiments which determine the degree of spectral instability of medium size randomly generated matrices which are far from self-adjoint. The conclusion is that the eigenvalues are likely to be intrinsically uncomputable for similar matrices of a larger size. We also describe a stochastic family of bounded operators in infinite dimensions for almost all of which the ...
