speciated samples of pm2.5 were collected at the hamshire and orange sites in golden triangle of texas by us epa (environmental protection agency) from july of 2003 to august of 2005. a total of 269 samples for the hamshire site and 293 samples for the orange site with 52 species were measured; however, 22 species were excluded because of too many below-detectionlimit data. among the 22 species...

The textit{QIF}  (Quadrant Interlocking Factorization) method of Evans and Hatzopoulos solves linear equation systems using textit{WZ}  factorization. The  WZ factorization can be faster than the textit{LU} factorization  because,  it performs the simultaneous evaluation of two columns or two rows. Here, we present a  method for computing the real and integer textit{WZ} and  textit{ZW} factoriz...

Since it is well-known that the Vandermonde matrix is ill-conditioned, while the interpolation itself is not unstable in function space, this paper surveys the choices of other new bases. These bases are data-dependent and are categorized into discretely l2-orthonormal and continuously L2-orthonormal bases. The first one construct a unitary Gramian matrix in the space l2(X) while the late...

We give a matrix factorization for the solution of the linear system Ax = f , when coefficient matrix A is a dense symmetric positive definite matrix. We call this factorization as "WW T factorization". The algorithm for this factorization is given. Existence and backward error analysis of the method are given. The WDWT factorization is also presented. When the coefficient matrix is a symmetric...

in this paper, we consider an arbitrary binary polynomial sequence {a_n} and then give a lower triangular matrix representation of this sequence. as main result, we obtain a factorization of the in nite generalized pascal matrix in terms of this new matrix, using a riordan group approach. further some interesting results and applications are derived.

A well-known result from linear system theory states that the minimal inner size of a factorization of the Hankel matrix H of a system gives the minimal order of a realization. In this brief it is shown that when dealing with positive linear systems, the existence of a factorization of the Hankel matrix into two nonnegative matrices is only a necessary condition for the existence of a positive ...
