The Barycenter Of The Numerical Range Of A Matrix, Sean A. Broughton, Roger G. Lautzenheiser, Thomas Werne Aug 2007

The Barycenter Of The Numerical Range Of A Matrix, Sean A. Broughton, Roger G. Lautzenheiser, Thomas Werne

Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)

The numerical range W(A) of an nxn matrix A is the totality of the scalar products <Ax,x> as x varies over all unit vectors in Cn The barycenter (center of mass) of the numerical range is defined geometrically as the center of mass of W(A) considered as a planar lamina with variable density and also as a limit of sample averages (<Ax1,x1>+...+<AxN,xN>)/N. Under a wide range the sampling schemes it is shown that the barycenter is the average of the spectrum …


Isomorphisms Of Elliptic Curves Over Extensions Of Finite Fields, Mathew Niemerg Jul 2007

Isomorphisms Of Elliptic Curves Over Extensions Of Finite Fields, Mathew Niemerg

Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)

Our main interest lies in exploring isomorphisms of elliptic curves. In particular, we focus on two curves defined over a base field and look at which extension fields the curves are isomorphic over. Elliptic curves have a fascinating structure behind them. This structure allows for much to be explored and studied.
