We propose a primal-dual path-following Mehrotra-type predictor-corrector method for solving convex quadratic semidefinite programming (QSDP) problems. For the special case when the quadratic term has the form 1 2 X •(UXU), we compute the search direction at each iteration from the Schur complement equation. We are able to solve the Schur complement equation efficiently via the preconditioned s...

In [Kim], Kimura introduced the notion of a “finite dimensional” motive (which we will refer to as “Kimura-finite” motive) and he conjectured that all Q-linear motives modulo rational equivalence are Kimura-finite. The same notion was introduced independently in a different context by O’Sullivan. Kimura-finiteness has been the subject of several articles recently ([GP02], [GP], [AK02]). In [GP]...

Recent research on the algebra of non-commutative symmetric functions and the dual algebra of quasi-symmetric functions has explored some natural analogues of the Schur basis of the algebra of symmetric functions. We introduce a new basis of the algebra of non-commutative symmetric functions using a right Pieri rule. The commutative image of an element of this basis indexed by a partition equal...

CSDP is a software package that implements the XZ primal–dual interior point method for semidefinite programming. In this method there are a number of computationally intensive steps including the construction of the Schur complement matrix O, the factorization of O, multiplications and Cholesky factorizations of matrices of size n. Profiling shows that for different problems, each of these typ...

The scalable iterative solution of strongly coupled three-dimensional incompressible resistive magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations is very challenging because disparate time scales arise from the electromagnetics, the hydrodynamics, as well as the coupling between these systems. This study considers a mixed finite element discretization of a dual saddle point formulation of the incompressible ...

Abstract. By using cutting strips and transformations on outside decompositions of a skew diagram, we show that the Giambelli-type matrices for a given skew Schur function are stably equivalent to each other over symmetric functions. As a consequence, the Jacobi-Trudi matrix and the transpose of the dual Jacobi-Trudi matrix are stably equivalent over symmetric functions. This leads to an affirm...

In this paper we describe planar decompositions of skew shape tableaux into strips and use the shapes of these strips to generate a determinant. We then prove that each of these determinants is equal to the Schur function for the skew shape. The Jacobi-Trudi identity, the dual Jacobi-Trudi identity, the Giambelli identity and the rim ribbon identity of Laseoux and Pragacz are all special cases ...

In this paper, we present a simple combinatorial proof of a Weyl type formula for hook Schur polynomials, which has been obtained by using a Kostant type cohomology formula for glm|n. In general, we can obtain in a combinatorial way a Weyl type formula for various highest weight representations of a Lie superalgebra, which together with a general linear algebra forms a Howe dual pair.
