Elementary Differential Equations With Boundary Value Problems, William F. Trench Dec 2014

Elementary Differential Equations With Boundary Value Problems, William F. Trench

William F. Trench

Elementary Differential Equations with Boundary Value Problems is written for students in science, engineering, and mathematics who have completed calculus through partial differentiation. If your syllabus includes Chapter 10 (Linear Systems of Differential Equations), your students should have some prepa- ration in linear algebra. In writing this book I have been guided by the these principles: An elementary text should be written so the student can read it with comprehension without too much pain. I have tried to put myself in the student’s place, and have chosen to err on the side of too much detail rather than not enough. …

Introduction To Real Analysis, William F. Trench Dec 2014

Introduction To Real Analysis, William F. Trench

William F. Trench

This is a text for a two-term course in introductory real analysis for junior or senior math- ematics majors and science students with a serious interest in mathematics. Prospective educators or mathematically gifted high school students can also benefit from the mathe- matical maturity that can be gained from an introductory real analysis course. The book is designed to fill the gaps left in the development of calculus as it is usually presented in an elementary course, and to provide the background required for insight into more advanced courses in pure and applied mathematics. The standard elementary calcu- lus sequence …

Characterization And Properties Of $(R,S_\Sigma)$-Commutative Matrices, William F. Trench Dec 2011

Characterization And Properties Of $(R,S_\Sigma)$-Commutative Matrices, William F. Trench

William F. Trench

Let $R=P \diag(\gamma_{0}I_{m_{0}}, \gamma_{1}I_{m_{1}}, \dots, \gamma_{k-1}I_{m_{k-1}})P^{-1}\in\mathbb{C}^{m\times m}$ and $S_{\sigma}=Q\diag(\gamma_{\sigma(0)}I_{n_{0}},\gamma_{\sigma(1)}I_{n_{1}}, \dots,\gamma_{\sigma(k-1)}I_{n_{k-1}})Q^{-1}\in\mathbb{C}^{n\times n}$, where $m_{0}+m_{1}+\cdots +m_{k-1}=m$, $n_{0}+n_{1}+\cdots+n_{k-1}=n$, $\gamma_{0}$, $\gamma_{1}$, \dots, $\gamma_{k-1}$ are distinct complex numbers, and $\sigma :\mathbb{Z}_{k}\to\mathbb{Z}_{k}= \{0,1, \dots, k-1\}$. We say that $A\in\mathbb{C}^{m\times n}$ is $(R,S_{\sigma})$-commutative if $RA=AS_{\sigma}$. We characterize the class of $(R,S_{\sigma})$-commutative matrrices and extend results obtained previously for the case where $\gamma_{\ell}=e^{2\pi i\ell/k}$ and $\sigma(\ell)=\alpha\ell+\mu \pmod{k}$, $0 \le \ell \le k-1$, with $\alpha$, $\mu\in\mathbb{Z}_{k}$. Our results are independent of $\gamma_{0}$, $\gamma_{1}$, \dots, $\gamma_{k-1}$, so long as they are distinct; i.e., if $RA=AS_{\sigma}$ for some choice of $\gamma_{0}$, $\gamma_{1}$, \dots, $\gamma_{_{k-1}}$ (all distinct), then $RA=AS_{\sigma}$ for arbitrary of …
