Poonam Kumar Sharma @Dr_Poonam_Kumar_Sharma

06 June 2018 0 8K Report

Proof:

Let p(x) = det(xI - A) be the char. poly. of the square matrix A. Put x= A, p(A) = det(AI-A) = 0

What is the probability that all the zeros of a real polynomial of degree n are real ?

When n =1, then probability = 1 (one zero has to be real ) When n=2, then probability = 1/2 ( two zeros are either both real or both imaginary ) When n= 3, then probability = 1/2 ( either all...

Is there a result in mathematics which is true in Q and C but not in R ? Give concrete example ?

As we know Q IS CONTAINED IN R AND R IS CONTAINED IN C (AS A FIELD) THERE ARE SOME RESULTS WHICH HOLD IN R BUT NOT IN C ( For example: Order property hold in R but not in C). ALSO THERE ARE...

How to define an anisotropic material with asymmetric elastic compliance/stiffness matrix in ANSYS APDL?

I need to model an anisotropic material in which the Poisson's ratio ν_12 ≠ ν_21 and so on. Therefore, the elastic compliance matrix wouldn't be a symmetric one. In ANSYS APDL, for TB,ANEL...

Is it true that $\det(V(A))$ may be only $\pm 1$, depending on $n$, for the last symmetric tridiagonal matrix $A$?

One can try to generalize the Vandermonde determinant in the following direction: Let $A$ be any symmetric $n$-order square matrix. Consider its powers' diagonal elements $(A^k)_{ii}$ and...
