Bacterial plasmids encode partitioning (par) loci that confer stable plasmid inheritance. We showed previously that, in the presence of ParB and parC encoded by the par2 locus of plasmid pB171, ParA formed cytoskeletal-like structures that dynamically relocated over the nucleoid. Simultaneously, the par2 locus distributed plasmids regularly over the nucleoid. We show here that the dynamic ParA ...

In this article we consider the system of operator equations T_iX=U_i for i=1,2,...,n and give necessary and suffcient conditions for the existence of common Hermitian solutions to this system of operator equations for arbitrary operators without the closedness condition. Also we study the Moore-penrose inverse of a ncross 1 block operator matrix and. then gi...

in this paper we consider the solutions of linear systems of saddle point problems‎. ‎by using the spectrum of a quadratic matrix polynomial‎, ‎we study the eigenvalues of the iterative matrix of the hermitian and skew hermitian splitting method‎.

We propose a method of field quantization which uses an indefinite metric in a Hilbert space of state vectors. The action for gravity and the standard model includes, as well as the positive energy fermion and boson fields, negative energy fields. The Hamiltonian for the action leads through charge conjugation invariance symmetry of the vacuum to a cancellation of the zeropoint vacuum energy an...

We investigate the behavior of eigenvalues under structured perturbations. We show that for many common structures such as (complex) symmetric, Toeplitz, symmetric Toeplitz, circulant and others the structured condition number is equal to the unstructured condition number for normwise perturbations, and prove similar results for real perturbations. An exception are complex skewsymmetric matrice...

Pseudo-Riemannian geometry is, to a large extent, the study of the Levi-Civita connection, which is the unique torsion-free connection compatible with the metric structure. There are, however, other affine connections which arise in different contexts, such as conformal geometry, contact structures, Weyl structures, and almost Hermitian geometry. In this book, we reverse this point of view and ...

We derive a formula for the backward error of a complex number λ when considered as an approximate eigenvalue of a Hermitian matrix pencil or polynomial with respect to Hermitian perturbations. The same are also obtained for approximate eigenvalues of matrix pencils and polynomials with related structures like skew-Hermitian, ∗-even and ∗-odd. Numerical experiments suggest that in many cases th...
