On the Characteristic Polynomial of the Almost Mathieu Operator

چکیده

Let Aθ be the rotation C*-algebra for angle θ. For θ = p/q with p and q relatively prime, Aθ is the sub-C*-algebra of Mq(C(T )) generated by a pair of unitaries u and v satisfying uv = e2πiθvu. Let hθ,λ = u+u +λ/2(v+ v) be the almost Mathieu operator. By proving an identity of rational functions we show that for q even, the constant term in the characteristic polynomial of hθ,λ is (−1) q/2(1 + (λ/2)q)− (z 1 + z 1 + (λ/2)q(z 2 + z 2 )).

Relationship between Coefficients of Characteristic Polynomial and Matching Polynomial of Regular Graphs and its Applications

ABSTRACT. Suppose G is a graph, A(G) its adjacency matrix and f(G, x)=x^n+a_(n-1)x^(n-1)+... is the characteristic polynomial of G. The matching polynomial of G is defined as M(G, x) = x^n-m(G,1)x^(n-2) + ... where m(G,k) is the number of k-matchings in G. In this paper, we determine the relationship between 2k-th coefficient of characteristic polynomial, a_(2k), and k-th coefficient of matchin...

Determination of a Matrix Function in the Form of f(A)=g(q(A)) Where g(x) Is a Transcendental Function and q(x) Is a Polynomial Function of Large Degree Using the Minimal Polynomial

Matrix functions are used in many areas of linear algebra and arise in numerical applications in science and engineering. In this paper, we introduce an effective approach for determining matrix function f(A)=g(q(A)) of a square matrix A, where q is a polynomial function from a degree of m and also function g can be a transcendental function. Computing a matrix function f(A) will be time- consu...

SIGNED GENERALIZED PETERSEN GRAPH AND ITS CHARACTERISTIC POLYNOMIAL

Let G^s be a signed graph, where G = (V;E) is the underlying simple graph and s : E(G) to {+, -} is the sign function on E(G). In this paper, we obtain k-th signed spectral moment and k-th signed Laplacian spectral moment of Gs together with coefficients of their signed characteristic polynomial and signed Laplacian characteristic polynomial are calculated.
