This theory provides a compact formulation of Gauss-Jordan elimination for matrices represented as functions. Its distinctive feature is succinctness. It is not meant for large computations. 1 Gauss-Jordan elimination algorithm theory Gauss-Jordan-Elim-Fun imports Main begin Matrices are functions: type-synonym ′a matrix = nat ⇒ nat ⇒ ′a In order to restrict to finite matrices, a matrix is usua...

The theorems of this paper show that the main results in the structure and representation theory of Jordan algebras and of alternative algebras are valid for a larger class of algebras defined by simple identities which obviously hold in the Jordan and alternative cass. A new unification of the Jordan and associative theories is also achieved.

Leaders create meaning out of events and relationships that devastate nonleaders. Even when battered by experience, leaders do not see themselves as helpless or find themselves paralyzed. They look at the same events that unstring those less capable and fortunate and see something useful, and often a plan of action as well. A powerful example is that of Vernon E. Jordan, civil rights pioneer an...

Multicomponent KdV-systems are defined in terms of a set of structure constants and, as shown by Svinolupov, if these define a Jordan algebra the corresponding equations may be said to be integrable, at least in the sense of having higher-order symmetries, recursion operators and hierarchies of conservation laws. In this paper the dispersionless limits of these Jordan KdV equations are studied,...

This paper outlines a proof of the Jordan Normal Form Theorem. First we show that a complex, finite dimensional vector space can be decomposed into a direct sum of invariant subspaces. Then, using induction, we show the Jordan Normal Form is represented by several cyclic, nilpotent matrices each plus an eigenvalue times the identity matrix – these are the Jordan

We prove that Jordan elementary surjective maps on rings are automatically additive. Elementary operators were originally introduced by Brešar and Šerml ([1]). In the last decade, elementary maps on operator algebras as well as on rings attracted more and more attentions. It is very interesting that elementary maps and Jordan elementary maps on some algebras and rings are automatically additive...

In two papers entitled “On a new foundation [Neue Begründung] of quantum mechanics,” Pascual Jordan (1927b,g) presented his version of what came to be known as the Dirac-Jordan statistical transformation theory. As an alternative that avoids the mathematical difficulties facing the approach of Jordan and Paul A. M. Dirac (1927), John von Neumann (1927a) developed the modern Hilbert space formal...
