A matrix A ∈ C is called generalized diagonally dominant or, more commonly, an H−matrix if there is a positive vector x = (x1, · · · , xn) such that |aii|xi > ∑ j 6=i |aij|xj, i = 1, 2, · · · , n. In this thesis, we first give an efficient iterative algorithm to calculate the vector x for a given H-matrix, and show that this algorithm can be used effectively as a criterion for H-matrices. When ...

The influence of various polymers on the release rate of lithium carbonate from matrix-type tablets was investigated in an attempt to formulate a sustained release solid dosage form. For this purpose, tablets containing 450 mg of lithium carbonate along with various amounts of Carbopol 934P, 971P, 974P, Pemulen and Eudragit RLPO as retarding agents and inactive ingredients (e.g. PVP, Avicel or ...

The effect of the milling time & ageing on the hardness, density, and wear characteristics of Al 7150 alloy specimens made via powder metallurgy has been studied. The different constituents of Al 7150 alloy were processed in a planetary ball milling set up with a BPR of 10:1 for 5 hours, 10 hours, and 20 hours. At 400 °C, the milled powders were subsequently hot compacted in a punch die setup. ...

Let A = (an;k)n;k1 and B = (bn;k)n;k1 be two non-negative ma-trices. Denote by Lv;p;q;B(A), the supremum of those L, satisfying the followinginequality:k Ax kv;B(q) L k x kv;B(p);where x 0 and x 2 lp(v;B) and also v = (vn)1n=1 is an increasing, non-negativesequence of real numbers. In this paper, we obtain a Hardy-type formula forLv;p;q;B(H), where H is the Hausdor matrix and 0 < q p 1. Also...
