On skew-symmetric differentiation matrices
The theme of this paper is the construction of finite-difference approximations to the first derivative in the presence of Dirichlet boundary conditions. Stable implementation of splitting-based discretisation methods for the convectiondiffusion equation requires the underlying matrix to be skew symmetric and this turns out to be a surprisingly restrictive condition. We prove that no skewsymmet...
متن کاملOn the elementary symmetric functions of a sum of matrices
Often in mathematics it is useful to summarize a multivariate phenomenon with a single number. In fact, the determinant – which is denoted by det – is one of the simplest cases and many of its properties are very well-known. For instance, the determinant is a multiplicative function, i.e. det(AB) = detA · detB, A,B ∈ Mn, and it is a multilinear function, but it is not, in general, an additive f...
متن کاملOn Linear Spaces of Skew-symmetric Matrices of Constant Rank
Linear sections of the Grassmannians G(1, n) of lines in P appear naturally in several different situations. In complex projective algebraic geometry, 3-dimensional linear sections of G(1, 4) appear in the classification of Fano threefolds, 2-dimensional linear sections of G(1, 5) define one of the smooth scrolls of P. Linear sections of dimension n − 1 of the Grassmannian of lines of P are cla...
متن کاملThe exponential functions of central-symmetric $X$-form matrices
It is well known that the matrix exponential function has practical applications in engineering and applied sciences. In this paper, we present some new explicit identities to the exponential functions of a special class of matrices that are known as central-symmetric $X$-form. For instance, $e^{mathbf{A}t}$, $t^{mathbf{A}}$ and $a^{mathbf{A}t}$ will be evaluated by the new formulas in this par...
متن کاملCommutators of Skew-Symmetric Matrices
In this paper we develop a theory for analysing the size of a Lie bracket or commutator in a matrix Lie algebra. Complete details are given for the Lie algebra so(n) of skew symmetric matrices. 1 Norms and commutators in Mn[R] and so(n) This paper is concerned with the following question. Let g be a Lie algebra (Carter, Segal & Macdonald 1995, Humphreys 1978, Varadarajan 1984). Given X,Y ∈ g an...
