for a ∈ mn, the schur multiplier of a is defined as s a(x) =a ◦ x for all x ∈ mn and the spectral norm of s a can be stateas ∥s a∥ = supx,0 ∥a ∥x ◦x ∥ ∥. the other norm on s a can be definedas ∥s a∥ω = supx,0 ω(ω s( ax (x ) )) = supx,0 ωω (a (x ◦x ) ), where ω(a) standsfor the numerical radius of a. in this paper, we focus on therelation between the norm of schur multiplier of product of matric...

Geometric crossover is a representation-independent definition of crossover based on the distance of the search space interpreted as a metric space. It generalizes the traditional crossover for binary strings and other important recombination operators for the most frequently used representations. Using a distance tailored to the problem at hand, the abstract definition of crossover can be used...

Warped products provide a rich class of physically significant geometric objects. Warped product construction is an important method to produce a new metric with a base manifold and a fibre. We construct compact base manifolds with a positive scalar curvature which do not admit any non-trivial quasi-Einstein warped product, and non compact complete base manifolds which do not admit any non-triv...

Geometric algebra is a consistent computational framework in which to define geometric primitives and their relationships. This algebraic approach contains all geometric operators and permits specification of constructions in a coordinate-free manner. Thus, the ideas of geometric algebra are important for developers of CAD systems. This paper gives an introduction to the elements of geometric a...

We outline a procedure for implementing a virtual CNC lathe prototype using software for creating virtual environments. The prototype constructed focus on the lathe’s interlocking system (its functionality) and on its geometric model (its physical design). This project allowed us to identify the possibilities and limitations of applying current Virtual Reality technology for virtual prototyping...
