Stretching is a new sparse matrix method that makes matrices sparser by making them larger. Stretching has implications for computational complexity theory and applications in scientific and parallel computing. It changes matrix sparsity patterns to render linear equations more easily solved by parallel and sparse techniques. Some stretchings increase matrix condition numbers only moderately, a...

In this paper sufficient conditions are derived for the existence of unique and positive definite solutions of the matrix equations X−A1XA1− . . .−A∗mXAm = Q and X+A1XA1+ . . .+ A∗mXAm = Q. In the case there is a unique solution which is positive definite an explicit expression for this solution is given.

we present a model and propose an approach to compute an approximate solution of fully fuzzy linear system $(ffls)$ of equations in which all the components of the coefficient matrix are either nonnegative or nonpositive. first, in discussing an $ffls$ with a nonnegative coefficient matrix, we consider an equivalent $ffls$ by using an appropriate permutation to simplify fuzzy multiplications. t...

Recommender systems, which can significantly help users find their interested items from the information era, has attracted an increasing attention from both the scientific and application society. One of the widest applied recommendation methods is the Matrix Factorization (MF). However, most of MF based approaches focus on the user-item rating matrix, but ignoring the ingredients which may ha...

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...

The linear system of equations Ax = b where A = [aij ] in Cn.n is a crispsingular matrix and the right-hand side is a fuzzy vector is called a singularfuzzy linear system of equations. In this paper, solving singular fuzzy linearsystems of equations using generalized inverses such as Drazin inverse andpseudo-inverse are investigated.

considering the nonlinear hyperelastic or viscoelastic nature of soft tissues has an important effect on modeling results. in medicalapplications, accounting nonlinearity begets an ill posed problem, due to absence of external force. myocardium can be consideredas a hyperelastic material, and variational approaches are proposed to estimate stiffness matrix, which take into account the linearand...

g. darbo [rend. sem. math. univ. padova, 24 (1955) 84--92] used the measure of noncompactness to investigate operators whose properties can be characterized as being intermediate between those of contraction and compact operators. in this paper, we apply the darbo's fixed point theorem for solving infinite system of linear equations in some sequence spaces.
