In 1907, Oskar Perron showed that a positive square matrix has a unique largest positive eigenvalue with a positive eigenvector. This result was extended to irreducible nonnegative matrices by Geog Frobenius in 1912, and to irreducible nonnegative tensors and weakly irreducible nonnegative tensors recently. This result is a fundamental result in matrix theory and has found wide applications in ...

Let o be a complete discrete valuation domain with finite residue field. In this paper we describe the irreducible representations of the groups Aut(M) for any finite o-module M of rank two. The main emphasis is on the interaction between the different groups and their representations. An induction scheme is developed in order to study the whole family of these groups coherently. The results ob...

We study conditions on a C∗-dynamical system (A,G,α) under which induction of primitive ideals (resp. irreducible representations) from stabilizers for the action of G on the primitive ideal space Prim(A) give primitive ideals (resp. irreducible representations) of the crossed product A⋊α G. The results build on earlier results of Sauvageot [17] and others, and will correct a (possibly overly o...

We introduce the notion of reset left regular decomposition of an ideal regular language and we prove that the category formed by these decompositions with certain morphisms is equivalent to the category of strongly connected synchronizing automata. We show that each ideal regular language has at least a reset left regular decomposition. As a consequence, each ideal regular language is the set ...

We calculate the real rank and stable rank of CCR algebras which either have only finite dimensional irreducible representations or have finite topological dimension. We show that either rank of A is determined in a good way by the ranks of an ideal I and the quotient A/I in four cases: When A is CCR; when I has only finite dimensional irreducible representations; when I is separable, of genera...

Non-ideal multifrequency cloaking of dielectric cylinders is expected to be realizable by using singlelayer coating shells, which are made of isotropic homogeneous dispersive materials. In the present paper, scattering on the coated cylinders is studied for the Drude–Lorentz materials with frequency dependent permittivity and permeability. The exploited physical mechanism is based on the Fabry–...

A set X ⊆ R is strongly meager if for every measure zero set H, X + H = R. Let SM denote the collection of strongly meager sets. We show that assuming CH, SM is not an ideal.

In a laboratory, a two-dimensional complex (dusty) plasma consists of a low-density ionized gas containing a confined suspension of Yukawa-coupled plastic microspheres. For an initial crystal-like form, we report ideal gas behavior in this strongly coupled system during shock-wave experiments. This evidence supports the use of the ideal gas law as the equation of state for soft crystals such as...

In this paper, we introduce a modified Van der Waerden algorithm to decompose a variety into the union of irreducible varieties. We give an effective representation for irreducible varieties obtained by the algorithm, which allows us to obtain an irredundant decomposition easily. We show that in the zero dimensional case, the polynomial systems for the irreducible varieties obtained in the Van ...
