Positive definiteness and positive differences [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Combinatorial Theory, Series A, 1972
AbstractA previous inequality [2] in certain context, which holds in the application to the monotonicity of correlations in classical discrete Heisenberg ferromagnets with 2-dimensional spin [3], is extended to positive definiteness of a function on a group.

On the Positive Definiteness of a Functional [PDF]

open access: yesCanadian Mathematical Bulletin, 1979
AbstractIn this note, we have shown that the set of conditions given by Gel'fand and Vilenkin for the positive definiteness of a functional L(ϕ) [1, Theorem 7, p. 285] though sufficient is not necessary, thereby providing an answer to an open problem posed by them [1, Theorem 7, p. 285].

On Positive Definiteness of Some Functions [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Multivariate Analysis, 2000
Let \(E\) be a linear space over \(\mathbb{R}\) and let \(\rho(x)\) be the \(\ell^n_p\)-norm in \(\mathbb{R}^n\). A function \(f: E\to\mathbb{C}\) is called definite if \(\sum^n_{k,j=1} c_k\overline c_jf(x_k- x_j)\geq 0\) for all \(n\in\mathbb{N}\), \(x_k\in E\), \(c_k\in\mathbb{C}\) for \(k= 1,2,\dots, n\).

On Elastic Stability and Positive Definiteness for One-Dimensional Quasicrystals [PDF]

open access: yesCrystals
In this work, a proper formulation of the elastic stability and positive definiteness of the elastic energy density of one-dimensional quasicrystals is provided. Based on an appropriate Voigt notation, the Sylvester criterion is applied and the necessary

Transporting positive definiteness [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
This is a rough guide to the topic which might be worthy to develop further on. Expanding positive definiteness beyond its presupposed scope is intriguing due to a number of possible applications. The paper though looking at the first glance a little bit

Positive definiteness in coupled strain gradient elasticity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
The linear theory of coupled gradient elasticity has been considered for hemitropic second gradient materials, specifically the positive definiteness of the strain and strain gradient energy density, which is assumed to be a quadratic form of the strain ...

Retaining positive definiteness in thresholded matrices [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Positive definite (p.d.) matrices arise naturally in many areas within mathematics and also feature extensively in scientific applications. In modern high-dimensional applications, a common approach to finding sparse positive definite matrices is to ...

V-singular values of rectangular tensors and their applications

open access: yesJournal of Inequalities and Applications, 2019
The positive definiteness of rectangular tensors has wide applications in solid mechanics and quantum physics. By modifying the existing definition of singular value for rectangular tensors, some V-singular value inclusion sets for rectangular tensors ...

Nonsingularity, positive definiteness, and positive invertibility under fixed-point data rounding [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
summary:For a real square matrix $A$ and an integer $d\ge 0$, let $A_{(d)}$ denote the matrix formed from $A$ by rounding off all its coefficients to $d$ decimal places.

Predicative definite NPIs in Norwegian

open access: yesNordlyd: Tromsø University Working Papers on Language & Linguistics, 2011
In Norwegian, a weak quantifier or a scalar adjective with a positive value may combine with a definite noun and thereby form an attenuating NPI. These phrases, which I call predicative definite NPIs, are exceptional as nominal phrases, since they do not
