23.1 Let A be a nonsingular square matrix and let A = QR and A∗A = U∗U be QR and cholesky factorizations, respectively, with the usual normalization rjj, ujj > 0. Is it true or false that R = U? Solution: It is true. Since A is nonsingular, it will have a unique QR factorization with rjj > 0. Then we have A∗A = R∗Q∗QR = R∗R because Q is a unitary matrix. On the other hand, it is easy to see tha...

in this paper, we introduce a class of $j$-quasipolar rings. let $r$ be a ring with identity. an element $a$ of a ring $r$ is called {it weakly $j$-quasipolar} if there exists $p^2 = pin comm^2(a)$ such that $a + p$ or $a-p$ are contained in $j(r)$ and the ring $r$ is called {it weakly $j$-quasipolar} if every element of $r$ is weakly $j$-quasipolar. we give many characterizations and investiga...

We solve the problem of description of nonsingular pairs of compatible flat metrics for the general N-component case. The integrable nonlinear partial differential equations describing all nonsingular pairs of compatible flat metrics (or, in other words, nonsingular flat pencils of metrics) are found and integrated. The integrating of these equations is based on reducing to a special nonlinear ...

| This paper proposes a simple numerical technique for the steering of arbitrary analytic systems with no drift. It is based on the generation of \nonsingular loops" which allow linearized controllability along suitable trajetories. Once such loops are available, it is possible to employ standard Newton or steepest descent methods, as classically done in numerical control. The theoretical justi...

The paper consists of two parts. In the first part, new canonical forms are defined for singular 1D linear systems and a procedure to determine nonsingular matrices transforming matrices of singular systems to their canonical forms is derived. In the second part new canonical forms of matrices of the singular 2D Roesser model are defined and a procedure for determining realisations in canonical...
