The general solutions of singular and non-singular matrix fractional time-varying descriptor systems with constant coefficient matrices in Caputo sense

AbstractIn this paper, we generalize the time-varying descriptor systems to the case of fractional order in matrix forms. Moreover, we present the general exact solutions of the linear singular and non-singular matrix fractional time-varying descriptor systems with constant coefficient matrices in Caputo sense by using a new attractive method. Finally, two illustrated examples are also given to show our new approach

On the connection between Kronecker and Hadamard convolution products of matrices and some applications.

We are concerned with Kronecker and Hadamard convolution products and present some important connections between these two products. Further we establish some attractive inequalities for Hadamard convolution product. It is also proved that the results can be extended to the finite number of matrices, and some basic properties of matrix convolution products are also derived

Generalizations and Some Applications of Kronecker and Hadamard Products of Matrices

In this thesis, generalizations of Kronecker, Hadamard and usual products (sums) that depend on the partitioned of matrices are studied and defined. Namely: Tracy- Singh, Khatri-Rao, box, strong Kronecker, block Kronecker, block Hadamard, restricted Khatri-Rao products (sums) which are extended the meaning of Kronecker, Hadamard and usual products (sums). The matrix convolution products, namely: matrix convolution, Kronecker convolution and Hadamard convolution products of matrices with entries in set of functions are also considered. The connections among them are derived and most useful properties are studied in order to find new applications of Tracy-Singh and Khatri-Rao products (sums). These applications are: a family of generalized inverses, a family of coupled singular matrix problems, a family of matrix inequalities and a family of geometric means. In the theory of generalized inverses of matrices and their applications, the five generalized inverses, namely Moore-Penrose, weighted Moore-Penrose, Drazin, weighted Drazin and group inverses and their expressions and properties are studied. Moreover, some new numerous matrix expressions involving these generalized inverses and weighted matrix norms of the Tracy-Singh products matrices are also derived. In addition, we establish some necessary and sufficient conditions for the reverse order law of Drazin and weighted Drazin inverses. These results play a central role in our applications and many other applications. In the field of system identification and matrix products work, we propose several algorithms for computing the solutions of the coupled matrix differential equations, coupled matrix convolution differential, coupled matrix equations, restricted coupled singular matrix equations, coupled matrix least-squares problems and weighted Least -squares problems based on idea of Kronecker (Hadamard) and Tracy-Singh(Khatri-Rao) products (sums) of matrices. The way exists which transform the coupled matrix problems and coupled matrix differential equations into forms for which solutions may be readily computed. The common vector exact solutions of these coupled are presented and, subsequently, construct a computationally - efficient solution of coupled matrix linear least-squares problems and nonhomogeneous coupled matrix differential equations. We give new applications for the representations of weighted Drazin, Drazin and Moore-Penrose inverses of Kronecker products to the solutions of restricted singular matrix and coupled matrix equations. The analysis indicates that the Kronecker (Hadamard) structure method can achieve good efficient while the Hadamard structure method achieve more efficient when the unknown matrices are diagonal. Several special cases of these systems are also considered and solved, and then we prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution of each case, which includes the well-known coupled Sylvester matrix equations. We show also that the solutions of non-homogeneous matrix differential equations can be written in convolution forms. The analysis indicates also that the algorithms can be easily to find the common exact solutions to the coupled matrix and matrix differential equations for partitioned matrices by using the connections between Tracy-Singh, Block Kronecker and Khatri -Rao products and partitioned vector row (column) and our definition which is the so-called partitioned diagonal extraction operators. Unlike Matrix algebra, which is based on matrices, analysis must deal with estimates. In other words, Inequalities lie at the core of analysis. For this reason, it’s of great importance to give bounds and inequalities involving matrices. In this situation, the results are organized in the following five ways: First, we find some extensions and generalizations of the inequalities involving Khatri-Rao products of positive (semi) definite matrices. We turn to results relating Khatri-Rao and Tracy- Singh powers and usual powers, extending and generalizing work of previous authors. Second, we derive some new attractive inequalities involving Khatri-Rao products of positive (semi) definite matrices. We remark that some known inequalities and many other new interesting inequalities can easily be found by using our approaches. Third, we study some sufficient and necessary conditions under which inequalities below become equalities. Fourth, some counter examples are considered to show that some inequalities do not hold in general case. Fifth, we find Hölder-type inequalities for Tracy-Singh and Khatri-Rao products of positive (semi) definite matrices. The results lead to inequalities involving Hadamard and Kronecker products, as a special case, which includes the well-known inequalities involving Hadamard product of matrices, for instance, Kantorovich-type inequalities and generalization of Styan's inequality. We utilize the commutativity of the Hadamard product (sum) for possible to develop and improve some interesting inequalities which do not follow simply from the work of researchers, for example, Visick's inequality. Finally, a family of geometric means for positive two definite matrices is studied; we discuss possible definitions of the geometric means of positive definite matrices. We study the geometric means of two positive definite matrices to arrive the definitions of the weighted operator means of positive definite matrices. By means of several examples, we show that there is no known definition which is completely satisfactory. We have succeeded to find many new desirable properties and connections for geometric means related to Tracy-Singh products in order to obtain new unusual estimates for the Khatri-Rao (Tracy-Singh) products of several positive definite matrices

Vector least-squares solutions for coupled singular matrix equations

The weighted least-squares solutions of coupled singular matrix equations are too difficult to obtain by applying matrices decomposition. In this paper, a family of algorithms are applied to solve these problems based on the Kronecker structures. Subsequently, we construct a computationally efficient solutions of coupled restricted singular matrix equations. Furthermore, the need to compute the weighted Drazin and weighted Moore-Penrose inverses; and the use of Tian's work and Lev-Ari's results are due to appearance in the solutions of these problems. The several special cases of these problems are also considered which includes the well-known coupled Sylvester matrix equations. Finally, we recover the iterative methods to the weighted case in order to obtain the minimum D-norm G-vector least-squares solutions for the coupled Sylvester matrix equations and the results lead to the least-squares solutions and invertible solutions, as a special case. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.

Kronecker operational matrices for fractional calculus and some applications

The problems of systems identification, analysis and optimal control have been recently studied using orthogonal functions. The specific orthogonal functions used up to now are the Walsh, the block-pulse, the Laguerre, the Legendre, Haar and many other functions. In the present paper, several operational matrices for integration and differentiation are studied. we introduce the Kronecker convolution product and expanded to the Riemann-Liouville fractional integral of matrices. For some applications, it is often not necessary to compute exact solutions, approximate solutions are sufficient because sometimes computational efforts rapidly increase with the size of matrix functions. Our method is extended to find the exact and approximate solutions of the general system matrix convolution differential equations, the way exists which transform the coupled matrix differential equations into forms for which solutions may be readily computed. Finally, several systems are solved by the new and other approaches and illustrative examples are also considered

This paper extends some results for the weighted Moore–Penrose inverse in Hilbert space to the so-called weighted Minkowski inverse of an arbitrary rectangular matrix AMm,n in Minkowski spaces μ. Four methods are also used for approximating the weighted Minkowski Inverse . These methods are: Borel summable, Euler–Knopp summable, Newton–Raphson and Tikhonov’s methods

New representations for weighted Drazin inverse of matrices

In this paper, the result are established in the following four ways: First, we present a general representation for the weighted Drazin inverse Ad,W of an arbitrary rectangular matrix A ∈ Mm,n involving Moore-Penrose inverse, which reduces to the well-known result if the matrix A is a square and W = In . Second, we find represenations for the weighted Drazin inverse of the Tracy-Singh product A B of the two matrices A ∈ Mm,n and B ∈ Mp,q by using our approach. Third,the results are extended to the case of Tracy-Singh product of any finite number of matrices.The result lead to equalities involving Kronecker product, Drazin inverse and group inverse, as a special case. Finally,We apply our result to present the solution of restricted singular matrix equations

Some New Algebraic and Topological Properties of the Minkowski Inverse in the Minkowski Space

We introduce some new algebraic and topological properties of the Minkowski inverse A⊕ of an arbitrary matrix A∈Mm,n (including singular and rectangular) in a Minkowski space μ. Furthermore, we show that the Minkowski inverse A⊕ in a Minkowski space and the Moore-Penrose inverse A+ in a Hilbert space are different in many properties such as the existence, continuity, norm, and SVD. New conditions of the Minkowski inverse are also given. These conditions are related to the existence, continuity, and reverse order law. Finally, a new representation of the Minkowski inverse A⊕ is also derived

Notes and counterexamples on positive (semi) definite properties of some matrix products

In the present paper, we give some notes and counterexamples to show that the positive (semi) definite property of the Khatri-Rao and Tracy-Singh products of partitioned matrices are in general incorrect and show also that the matrix triangle inequality for the usual and Kronecker sums need not hold. Moreover, we show that the Fiedler’s inequality as revisited by Johnson’s works [10] cannot be strict.
