A surjectivity problem for 3 by 3 matrices

A Robust Eigensolver for 3× 3 Symmetric Matrices

Solving the Least Squares Method problem in the AHP for 3 × 3 and 4 × 4 matrices ⋆

Abstract The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is one of the most popular methods used in Multi-Attribute Decision Making. The Eigenvector Method (EM) and some distance minimizing methods such as the Least Squares Method (LSM) are of the possible tools for computing the priorities of the alternatives. A method for generating all the solutions of the LSM problem for 3 × 3 and 4 × 4 matrices is di...

Ela 3-by-3 Matrices with Elliptical Numerical Range Revisited

According to Kippenhahn’s classification, numerical ranges W (A) of unitarily irreducible 3 × 3 matrices A come in three possible shapes, an elliptical disk being one of them. The known criterion for the ellipticity of W (A) consists of several equations, involving the eigenvalues of A. It is shown herein that the set of 3× 3 matrices satisfying these conditions is nowhere dense, i.e., one of t...

Automatic formulation of falling multiple flexible-link robotic manipulators using 3×3 rotational matrices

In this paper, the effect of normal impact on the mathematical modeling of flexible multiple links is investigated. The response of such a system can be fully determined by two distinct solution procedures. Highly nonlinear differential equations are exploited to model the falling phase of the system prior to normal impact; and algebraic equations are used to model the normal collision of this ...
