The Wave Function of the Universe by the New Euclidean Path-integral Approach in Quantum Cosmology [PDF]
The wave function of the universe is evaluated by using the Euclidean path integral approach. As is well known, the real Euclidean path integral diverges because the Einstein-Hilbert action is not positive definite.

Symmetric and Positive Definite Broyden Update for Unconstrained Optimization
Broyden update is one of the one-rank updates which solves the unconstrained optimization problem but this update does not guarantee the positive definite and the symmetric property of Hessian matrix.

In this article, we provide a metaheuristic-based solution for stability analysis of nonlinear systems. We identify the optimal level set in the state space of these systems by combining two optimization phases.

On directional derivatives of trace functionals of the form $A\mapsto\Tr(Pf(A))$
Given a function $f:(0,\infty)\rightarrow\RR$ and a positive semidefinite $n\times n$ matrix $P$, one may define a trace functional on positive definite $n\times n$ matrices as $A\mapsto \Tr(Pf(A))$.

Families of completely positive maps associated with monotone metrics [PDF]
An operator convex function on (0,\infty) which satisfies the symmetry condition k(1/x) = x k(x) can be used to define a type of non-commutative multiplication by a positive definite matrix (or its inverse) using the primitive concepts of left and right ...

POSITIVE DEFINITE FUNCTIONS AND SHARP INEQUALITIES FOR PERIODIC FUNCTIONS
Let \(\varphi\) be a positive definite and continuous function on \(\mathbb{R}\), and let \(\mu\) be the corresponding Bochner measure. For fixed \(\varepsilon,\tau\in\mathbb{R}\), \(\varepsilon\ne 0\), we consider a linear operator \(A_{\varepsilon,\tau}

The Sequential Generation of Gaussian Random Fields for Applications in the Geospatial Sciences
This paper presents practical methods for the sequential generation or simulation of a Gaussian two-dimensional random field. The specific realizations typically correspond to geospatial errors or perturbations over a horizontal plane or grid. The errors

Strictly Positive Definite Functions
A complex-valued continuous function defined on \(\mathbb{R}\) is said to be strictly positive definite on \(\mathbb{R}\) if the \(n\) by \(n\) matrix \((f(x_i- x_j))\) is positive definite for all choices of pairwise distinct points \(x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n\in\mathbb{R}\), and all \(n\geq 1\).
