چکیده
A complete and minimum set of necessary and sufficient conditions for a real 4x4 matrix to be a physical Mueller matrix is obtained. An additional condition is presented to complete the set of known conditions, namely the four conditions obtained from the non-negativity of the eigenvalues of the Hermitian matrix H associated with a Mueller matrix M and the Transmittance Condition. Using the properties of H, a demonstration is also presented of 2 00 4 ) ( Tr m M M T = as being a necessary and sufficient condition for a physical Mueller matrix to be a pure Mueller matrix.

Singular Mueller matrices.
Singular Mueller matrices play an important role in polarization algebra and have peculiar properties that stem from the fact that either the medium exhibits maximum diattenuation and/or polarizance or because its associated canonical depolarizer has the property of fully randomizing the circular component (at least) of the states of polarization of light incident on it. The formal reasons for ...
متن کاملVery cleanness of generalized matrices
An element $a$ in a ring $R$ is very clean in case there exists an idempotent $ein R$ such that $ae = ea$ and either $a- e$ or $a + e$ is invertible. An element $a$ in a ring $R$ is very $J$-clean provided that there exists an idempotent $ein R$ such that $ae = ea$ and either $a-ein J(R)$ or $a + ein J(R)$. Let $R$ be a local ring, and let $sin C(R)$. We prove that $Ain K_...
متن کاملApproximate additive and quadratic mappings in 2-Banach spaces and related topics
Won{Gil Park [Won{Gil Park, J. Math. Anal. Appl., 376 (1) (2011) 193{202] proved the Hyers{Ulam stability of the Cauchy functional equation, the Jensen functional equation and the quadraticfunctional equation in 2{Banach spaces. One can easily see that all results of this paper are incorrect.Hence the control functions in all theorems of this paper are not correct. In this paper, we correctthes...
متن کاملSingular values of convex functions of matrices
Let $A_{i},B_{i},X_{i},i=1,dots,m,$ be $n$-by-$n$ matrices such that $sum_{i=1}^{m}leftvert A_{i}rightvert ^{2}$ and $sum_{i=1}^{m}leftvert B_{i}rightvert ^{2}$ are nonzero matrices and each $X_{i}$ is positive semidefinite. It is shown that if $f$ is a nonnegative increasing convex function on $left[ 0,infty right) $ satisfying $fleft( 0right) =0 $, then $$2s_{j}left( fleft( fra...
متن کاملInherent optical properties of the coccolithophore: Emiliania huxleyi.
A realistic nonspherical model for Emiliania huxleyi (EHUX) is built, based on electron micrographs of coccolithophore cells. The Inherent Optical Properties (IOP) of the EHUX are then calculated numerically by using the discrete dipole approximation. The coccolithophore model includes a near-spherical core with the refractive index of 1.04 + m(i)j, and a carbonate shell formed by smaller cocco...
