An Overview of Polynomially Computable Characteristics of Special Interval Matrices
It is well known that many problems in interval computation are intractable,
which restricts our attempts to solve large problems in reasonable time. This
does not mean, however, that all problems are computationally hard. Identifying
polynomially solvable classes thus belongs to important current trends. The
purpose of this paper is to review some of such classes. In particular, we
focus on several special interval matrices and investigate their convenient
properties. We consider tridiagonal matrices, {M,H,P,B}-matrices, inverse
M-matrices, inverse nonnegative matrices, nonnegative matrices, totally
positive matrices and some others. We focus in particular on computing the
range of the determinant, eigenvalues, singular values, and selected norms.
Whenever possible, we state also formulae for determining the inverse matrix
and the hull of the solution set of an interval system of linear equations. We
survey not only the known facts, but we present some new views as well
Efficient Approaches for Enclosing the United Solution Set of the Interval Generalized Sylvester Matrix Equation
In this work, we investigate the interval generalized Sylvester matrix
equation and develop some
techniques for obtaining outer estimations for the so-called united solution
set of this interval system. First, we propose a modified variant of the
Krawczyk operator which causes reducing computational complexity to cubic,
compared to Kronecker product form. We then propose an iterative technique for
enclosing the solution set. These approaches are based on spectral
decompositions of the midpoints of , , and
and in both of them we suppose that the midpoints of and
are simultaneously diagonalizable as well as for the midpoints of
the matrices and . Some numerical experiments are given to
illustrate the performance of the proposed methods
