Numerical Methods for General and Structured Eigenvalue Problems

The purpose of this book is to describe recent developments in solving eig- value problems, in particular with respect to the QR and QZ algorithms as well as structured matrices. Outline Mathematically speaking, the eigenvalues of a square matrix A are the roots of its characteristic polynomial det(A??I). An invariant subspace is a linear subspace that stays invariant under the action of A. In realistic applications, it usually takes a long process of simpli?cations, linearizations and discreti- tions before one comes up with the problem of computing the eigenvalues of a matrix. In some cases, the eigenvalues have an intrinsic meaning, e.g., for the expected long-time behavior of a dynamical system; in others they are just meaningless intermediate values of a computational method. The same applies to invariant subspaces, which for example can describe sets of initial states for which a dynamical system produces exponentially decaying states. Computing eigenvalues has a long history, dating back to at least 1846 when Jacobi [172] wrote his famous paper on solving symmetric eigenvalue problems. Detailed historical accounts of this subject can be found in two papers by Golub and van der Vorst [140, 327].

Isomorphisms Between H¹ Spaces

Presents a thorough and self-contained presentation of H¹ and its known isomorphic invariants, such as the uniform approximation property, the dimension conjecture, and dichotomies for the complemented subspaces. The necessary background is developed from scratch. This includes a detailed discussion of the Haar system, together with the operators that can be built from it (averaging projections, rearrangement operators, paraproducts, Calderon-Zygmund singular integrals). Complete proofs are given for the classical martingale inequalities of C. Fefferman, Burkholder, and Khinchine-Kahane, and for large deviation inequalities. Complex interpolation, analytic families of operators, and the Calderon product of Banach lattices are treated in the context of H^p spaces. Througout the book, special attention is given to the combinatorial methods developed in the field, particularly J. Bourgain's proof of the dimension conjecture, L. Carleson's biorthogonal system in H¹, T. Figiel's integral representation, W.B. Johnson's factorization of operators, B. Maurey's isomorphism, and P. Jones' proof of the uniform approximation property. An entire chapter is devoted to the study of combinatorics of colored dyadic intervals."

Geometry of Müntz Spaces and Related Questions

Starting point and motivation for this volume is the classical Muentz theorem which states that the space of all polynomials on the unit interval, whose exponents have too many gaps, is no longer dense in the space of all continuous functions. The resulting spaces of Muentz polynomials are largely unexplored as far as the Banach space geometry is concerned and deserve the attention that the authors arouse. They present the known theorems and prove new results concerning, for example, the isomorphic and isometric classification and the existence of bases in these spaces. Moreover they state many open problems. Although the viewpoint is that of the geometry of Banach spaces they only assume that the reader is familiar with basic functional analysis. In the first part of the book the Banach spaces notions are systematically introduced and are later on applied for Muentz spaces. They include the opening and inclination of subspaces, bases and bounded approximation properties and versions of universality.

Finite Zeros in discrete time control systems

The book starts with definition of invariant zeros and goes as far as a general characterization of output-zeroing inputs and the corresponding solutions, explicit formulas for maximal output-nulling invariant subspaces and for the zero dynamics. The objective of this book is to render the reader familiar with a certain method of analysis of multivariable zeros (which goes beyond the classical approach) and related problems. The minimal mathematical background that is required from the reader is a working knowledge of linear algebra and difference equations.

Dynamic Modeling, Predictive Control and Performance Monitoring : A Data-driven Subspace Approach

A typical design procedure for model predictive control or control performance monitoring consists of: identification of a parametric or nonparametric model, derivation of the output predictor from the model and design of the control law or calculation of performance indices according to the predictor.

Diophantine Approximation : Festschrift for Wolfgang Schmidt

This volume contains 22 research and survey papers on recent developments in the field of diophantine approximation. The first article by Hans Peter Schlickewei is devoted to the scientific work of Wolfgang Schmidt. Further contributions deal with the subspace theorem and its applications to diophantine equations and to the study of linear recurring sequences. The articles are either in the spirit of more classical diophantine analysis or of geometric or combinatorial flavor. In particular, estimates for the number of solutions of diophantine equations as well as results concerning congruences and polynomials are established. Furthermore, the volume contains transcendence results for special functions and contributions to metric diophantine approximation and to discrepancy theory.

Linear Estimation and Detection in Krylov Subspaces

Focuses on the foundations of linear estimation theory which is essential for effective signal processing. In its first part, it gives a comprehensive overview of several key methods like reduced-rank signal processing and Krylov subspace methods of numerical mathematics. Based on the derivation of the multistage Wiener filter in its most general form, the relationship between statistical signal processing and numerical mathematics is presented. In the second part, the theory is applied to iterative multiuser detection receivers (Turbo equalization) which are typically desired in wireless communication systems.

Commutative algebras of Toeplitz Operators on the Bergman Space

This book is devoted to the spectral theory of commutative C*-algebras of Toeplitz operators on the Bergman space and its applications. For each such commutative algebra there is a unitary operator which reduces Toeplitz operators from this algebra to certain multiplication operators, thus providing their spectral type representations. This yields a powerful research tool giving direct access to the majority of the important properties of the Toeplitz operators studied herein, such as boundedness, compactness, spectral properties, invariant subspaces.

Aspects of Brownian motion

Stochastic calculus and excursion theory are very efficient tools to obtain either exact or asymptotic results about Brownian motion and related processes. The emphasis of this book is on special classes of such Brownian functionals as: - Gaussian subspaces of the Gaussian space of Brownian motion; - Brownian quadratic funtionals; - Brownian local times, - Exponential functionals of Brownian motion with drift; - Winding number of one or several Brownian motions around one or several points or a straight line, or curves; - Time spent by Brownian motion below a multiple of its one-sided supremum.
