‎using several examples of positive definite functions‎, ‎some inequalities for the numerical radius of‎ ‎matrices are investigated‎. ‎also‎, ‎some open problems are stated‎.

Quantified constraints (i.e., first-order formulae over the real numbers) are often exposed to perturbations: Constants that come from measurements usually are only known up to certain precision, and numerical methods only compute with approximations of real numbers. In this paper we study the behavior of quantified constraints under perturbation by showing that one can formulate the problem of...

‎let $n$ and $k$ be two positive integers‎, ‎$kleq n$ and $a$ be an $n-$square quaternion matrix‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎some results on the $k-$numerical range of $a$ are investigated‎. ‎moreover‎, ‎the notions of $k$-numerical radius‎, ‎right $k$-spectral radius and $k$-norm of $a$ are introduced‎, ‎and some of their algebraic properties are studied‎.

We present a calculation of the ground state energy of massive spinor fields and massive scalar fields in the background of an inhomogeneous magnetic string with potential given by a delta function. The zeta functional regularization is used and the lowest heat kernel coefficients are calculated. The rest of the analytical calculation adopts the Jost function formalism. In the numerical part of...

Standard lattice fermion algorithms run into the well-known sign problem at real chemical potential. In this paper we investigate the possibility of using imaginary chemical potential, and argue that it has advantages over other methods, particularly for probing the physics at finite temperature as well as density. As a feasibility study, we present numerical results for the partition function ...
