Relative Entropy Between Markov Transition Rate Matrices
- Matrices Kesidis Walrand
We derive the relativeentropybetween two Markov transition rate matrices
from sample path considerations. This relativeentropyisinterpreted as a #level
2.5" large deviations action functional. That is, the level two large deviations
action functional for empirical distributions of continuous-time Markovchains can
be derived from the relativeentropy using the contraction mapping principle #4#.
1 Introduction
In this note we derive the relativeentropybetween two Markov transition rate matrices.
We use the relativeentropy to obtain an expression for the probability that a Markov
chain with a given transition matrix behaves as if it had another transition rate matrix
over a long period of time #large deviations#.
2 The Main Result
Consider a stationary Markovchain X with...

. Incomplete Monge matrices are a generalization of standard Monge matrices: the values of some entries are not specified and the Monge property only must hold for all specified entries. We derive several combinatorial properties of incomplete Monge matrices and prove that the problem of recognizing permuted incomplete Monge matrices is NP-complete. For the special case of permuted Supnick matrices , we derive a fast recognition algorithm and thereby identify a special case of the n-vertex travelling salesman problem which can be solved in O(n 2 log n) time.

Graph embedding techniques for bounding eigenvalues of associated matrices have a wide

n factor for some graphs. Guattery and Miller showed that, by adding edge directions
to the graph representation, they could construct an embedding called the current flow embedding, which
embeds each edge of the guest graph as an electric current flow in the host graph. They also showed how this
embedding can be used to construct matrices whose nonzero eigenvalues had a one-to-one correspondence
to the reciprocals of the eigenvalues of the generalized Laplacians. For the Laplacians of...

On a new positive extension problem for block Toeplitz matrices
- Toeplitz Matrices,D. Alpay,V. Bolotnikov,Ph. Loubaton
In this paper we consider positive extension problems for block Toeplitz matrices
when the specified entries form a stalactite type pattern. These problems do
not seem in general to be amenable by the classical methods (they correspond to
bitangential interpolation problems in the class of Carath'eodory functions of a kind
usually not solvable by the classical methods of interpolation). We solve these problems
by reduction to a tangential interpolation with symmetries in a Carath'eodory
class.
1 Introduction
In the present paper we study new extension problems for block Toeplitz matrices. Let
us first recall the simplest extension problem for such matrices.
Problem 1.1 Given matrices S 0 ; : :...

Spectral inequalities and equalities involving products of matrices
- Chi-kwong Li; Yiu-tung Poon
Let A1,..., Ak be n × n matrices. We studied inequalities and equalities involving eigenvalues, diagonal entries, and singular values of A0 = A1 · · · Ak and those of A1,..., Ak. It is shown that the matrices attaining equalities often have special reducible structure. The results are then applied to study normality and reducibility of matrices, extending some results and answering some questions of Miranda, Wang and Zhang.

On the Weighing Matrices of Order 4n and Weight 4n-2 and 2n-1
- Marc Gysin; Jennifer Seberry
We give algorithms and constructions for mathematicaland computer searches which allow us to establish the existence of W (4n; 4n \Gamma 2) and W (4n; 2n \Gamma 1) for many orders 4n less than 4000. We compare these results with the orders for which W (4n; 4n) and W (4n; 2n) are known. We use new algorithms based on the theory of cyclotomy to obtain new T -matrices of order 43 and JM-matrices which yield W (4n; 4n \Gamma 2) for n = 5; 7; 9; 11; 13; 17; 19; 25;31; 37; 41; 43; 61; 71; 73; 157.

- Alain Hertz; Sacha Varone
Abstract. It is well known that each tree metric M has a unique realization as a tree, and that this realization minimizes the total length of the edges among all other realizations of M. We extend this result to the class of symmetric matrices M with zero diagonal, positive entries, and such that mij + mkl ≤ max{mik + mjl, mil + mjk} for all distinct i, j, k, l.

A Scalable Method for Estimating Network Traffic Matrices from Link Counts
- Matrices From Link Counts,Jin Cao,Scott V,Er Wiel,Bin Yu,Zhengyuan Zhu
Traffic matrices are extremely useful for network
configuration, management, engineering, and pricing.
Direct measurement is, however, expensive in general and
impossible in some cases. This paper proposes a scalable
algorithm for statistically estimating a traffic matrix from
the readily available link counts. It relies on a divide-andconquer
strategy to lower the computational cost without
losing estimation accuracy. The proposed algorithm is tested
on a real network with 18 nodes. The estimates are comparable
to the direct estimates but require dramatically less
computation.

A look-ahead Bareiss algorithm for general Toeplitz matrices
- Toeplitz Matrices,Roland W. Freund
this paper, an extension of the Bareiss algorithm
to general Toeplitz systems is presented. Using look-ahead techniques, the
proposed algorithm can skip over arbitrary blocks of singular or ill-conditioned
submatrices, and at the same time, it still fully exploits the Toeplitz structure.
Implementation details and operations counts are given, and numerical experiments
are reported. We also discuss special versions of the proposed look-ahead
Bareiss algorithm for Hermitian indefinite Toeplitz systems and banded Toeplitz
systems.

A Metric for Covariance Matrices
- Wolfgang Förstner; Boudewijn Moonen; Fdpdq Gdq; Carl Friedrich Gauss
The paper presents a metric for positive definite covariance matrices. It is a natural expression involving traces and joint eigenvalues of the matrices. It is shown to be the distance coming from a canonical invariant Riemannian metric on the space Sym + (n; R) of real symmetric positive definite matrices In contrast to known measures, collected e. g. in Grafarend 1972, the metric is invariant under affine transformations and inversion. It can be used for evaluating covariance matrices or for optimization of measurement designs.

Random Walks, Totally Unimodular Matrices, and a Randomised Dual Simplex Algorithm
- Unimodular Matrices,Martin Dyer,Leeds U. K
We discuss the application of random walks to generating a random
basis of a totally unimodular matrix and to solving a linear program
with such a constraint matrix. We also derive polynomial upper
bounds on the combinatorial diameter of an associated polyhedron.

Aspectos fisiopatológicos y moleculares en la remodelación de la matriz extracelular vascular
- Erijman,Mauricio O.; Litovsky,Silvio
En la remodelación arterial, como en otros tejidos del organismo, la matriz extracelular cumple un papel importante. La complejidad en la constitución de la matriz hace de la remodelación un fenómeno difícil de reproducir experimentalmente. En el caso de las arterias es clave la modificación de la relación músculo liso-matriz que produzca el cambio en el músculo liso del fenotipo contráctil al secretor. Para que ocurran los cambios en la matriz y en el músculo liso es determinante la activación de los genes productores de las proteasas que modificarán las relaciones célula-célula y célula-matriz.
