چکیده

Singular Mueller matrices play an important role in polarization algebra and have peculiar properties that stem from the fact that either the medium exhibits maximum diattenuation and/or polarizance or because its associated canonical depolarizer has the property of fully randomizing the circular component (at least) of the states of polarization of light incident on it. The formal reasons for which the Mueller matrix M of a given medium is singular are systematically investigated, analyzed, and interpreted in the framework of the serial decompositions and the characteristic ellipsoids of M. The analysis allows for a general classification and geometric representation of singular Mueller matrices, which are of potential usefulness to experimentalists dealing with such media.

Singular value inequalities for positive semidefinite matrices

In this note‎, ‎we obtain some singular values inequalities for positive semidefinite matrices by using block matrix technique‎. ‎Our results are similar to some inequalities shown by Bhatia and Kittaneh in [Linear Algebra Appl‎. ‎308 (2000) 203-211] and [Linear Algebra Appl‎. ‎428 (2008) 2177-2191]‎.

0 Polarization Elements – A Group Theoretical Study

The classification of polarization elements, the polarization affecting optical devices which have a Jones-matrix representation, according to the type of eigenvectors they possess, is given a new visit through the Group-Theoretical connection of polarization elements. The diattenuators and retarders are recognized as the elements corresponding to boosts and rotations, respectively. The structu...

Weak log-majorization inequalities of singular values between normal matrices and their absolute values

‎This paper presents two main results that the singular values of the Hadamard product of normal matrices $A_i$ are weakly log-majorized by the singular values of the Hadamard product of $|A_{i}|$ and the singular values of the sum of normal matrices $A_i$ are weakly log-majorized by the singular values of the sum of $|A_{i}|$‎. ‎Some applications to these inequalities are also given‎. ‎In addi...
