STRUCTURED CONDITIONING OF MATRIX FUNCTIONS∗ PHILIP I. DAVIES† Abstract. The existing theory of conditioning for matrix functions f(X):Cn×n → Cn×n does not cater for structure in the matrix X. An extension of this theory is presented in which when X has structure, all perturbations of X are required to have the same structure. Two classes of structured matrices are considered, those comprising the Jordan algebra J and the Lie algebra L associated with a nondegenerate bilinear or sesquilinear form on Rn or Cn. Examples of such classes are the symmetric, skew-symmetric, Hamiltonian and skew-Hamiltonian matrices. Structured condition numbers are defined for these two classes. Under certain conditions on the underlying scalar product, explicit representations are given for the structured condition numbers. Comparisons between the unstructured and structured condition numbers are then made. When the underlying scalar product is a sesquilinear form, it is shown that there is no difference between the values of the two condition numbers for (i) all functions of X ∈ J, and (ii) odd and even functions of X ∈ L. When the underlying scalar product is a bilinear form then equality is not guaranteed in all these cases. Where equality is not guaranteed, bounds are obtained for the ratio of the unstructured and structured condition numbers.

Ela Conditioning Properties of the Stationary Distribution for a Markov Chain∗
Let T be an irreducible stochastic matrix with stationary vector πT . The conditioning of πT under perturbation of T is discussed by providing an attainable upper bound on the absolute value of the derivative of each entry in πT with respect to a given perturbation matrix. Connections are made with an existing condition number for πT , and the results are applied to the class of Markov chains a...

Let K,M ∈ N with K < M , and define a square K × K Vandermonde matrix A = A τ,−→n with nodes on the unit circle: Ap,q = exp (−j2πpnqτ/K) ; p, q = 0, 1, ...,K − 1, where nq ∈ {0, 1, ...,M − 1} and n0 < n1 < .... < nK−1. Such matrices arise in some types of interpolation problems. In this paper, necessary and sufficient conditions are presented on the vector −→n so that a value of τ ∈ R can be fo...

متن کاملEla Structured Canonical Forms for Products of (skew-)symmetric Matrices and the Matrix Equation Xax = B
The contragredient transformation A 7→ PAP, B 7→ PBP of two matrices A,B effects simultaneous similarity transformations of the products AB and BA. This work provides structured canonical forms under this transformation for symmetric or skew-symmetric A,B. As an application, these forms are used to study the quadratic matrix equation XAX = B, where both A,B are skew-symmetric or symmetric matri...
