Matrix fundamental

Theorem 4.1. LetA(t) be periodic of period T Then if 4>(f) is a fundamental matrix, so is (0 = t + T). Corresponding to any fundamental matrix (f) there exists a periodic nonsingular matrix P(t) of period T and a constant matrix B such that... 

As customary, the exponential of a matrix means the sum of the matrix series corresponding to the exponential function. The eigenvalues of i T) =e are called the Floquet multipliers. The eigenvalues of B are called the Floquet exponents. (There is some delicacy about the uniqueness of B which we will ignore because it is not relevant to our use.) Usually it is not possible to compute the Floquet exponents or multipliers. However, for low-dimensional systems of the kind we will investigate, there is a general theorem about the determinant of a fundamental matrix which is helpful. Let 4>(0 be a fundamental matrix for (4.1) with i (0) = I. Then... 

This system is periodic and therefore the Floquet theory described in Section 4, Chapter 3, applies. Let 4>(/) be the fundamental matrix solution of (2.2). The Floquet multipliers of (2.2) are the eigenvalues of 4>(w) if /i is a Floquet multiplier and /i = e" then A is called a Floquet exponent. Only the real part of a Floquet exponent is uniquely defined. 

The symmetry of an isolated atom is that of the full rotation group R+ (3), whose irreducible representations (IRs) are D where j is an integer or half an odd integer. An application of the fundamental matrix element theorem [22] tells that the matrix element (5.1) is non-zero only if the IR DW of Wi is included in the direct product x of the IRs of ra and < f. The components of the electric dipole transform like the components of a polar vector, under the IR l)(V) of R+(3). Thus, when the initial and final atomic states are characterized by angular momenta Ji and J2, respectively, the electric dipole matrix element (5.1) is non-zero only if D(Jl) is contained in Dx D(j 2 ) = D(J2+1) + T)(J2) + )(J2-i) for j2 > 1 This condition is met for = J2 + 1, J2, or J2 — 1. However, it can be seen that a transition between two states with the same value of J is allowed only for J 0 as DW x D= D( D(°) is the unit IR of R+(3)). For a hydrogen-like centre, when an atomic state is defined by an orbital quantum number , this can be reduced to the Laporte selection rule A = 1. This is of course formal, as it will be shown that an impurity state is the weighted sum of different atomic-like states with different values of but with the same parity P = ( —1) These states are represented by an atomic spectroscopy notation, with lower case letters for the values of (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. correspond to s, p, d, f, g, h, etc.). The impurity states with P = 1 and -1 are called even- and odd-parity states, respectively. For the one-valley EM donor states, this quasi-atomic selection rule determines that the parity-allowed transitions from Is states are towards np (n > 2), n/ (n > 4), nh (n > 6), or nj (n > 8) states. For the acceptor states in cubic semiconductors, the even- and odd-parity states labelled by the double IRs T of Oh or Td are indexed by + or respectively, and the parity-allowed transition take place between Ti+ and... 

The general solution of the linear system (12) is expressed as a linear combination of four linearly independent solutions. In particular, let us consider a 4 x 4 matrix A( ) whose columns are four linearly independent solutions corresponding to the initial conditions A(0) = I4, where I4 is the 4x4 unit matrix. This matrix is called fundamental matrix of solutions and the general solution of the variational equations is expressed in the form... 

From the relations (35) we can verify that the trace of the matrix of the coefficients of a linear Hamiltonian system (34) is equal to zero. Consequently, due to the general property (14), the determinant of the fundamental matrix of solutions A(t) is equal to unity (see also Meyer and Hall, 1992),... 

As we proved in Section 3.1, the fundamental matrix of solutions A(t) is expressed in the form... 

For finite Markov processes, it can be proved that for any finite Markov chain, no matter where the walker starts, the probability that the walker is in an ergodic state after n steps tends to unity as n oc. Thus, powers of Q in the above aggregated version of P tend to 0 and consequently for any absorbing Markov chain, the matrix I - Q has an inverse N, called the fundamental matrix. In the problem defined by Eq. (4.12) the matrix N is... 

The relationship between the estimated and measured y values can be described by a fundamental matrix, the hat matrix, H. As explained in Ordinary Least Squares Regression Section, the regression parameters are estimated by the general inverse as... 

If the linear equation (11.16) has periodically varying coefficients with period T, A(t + T) = A(t), the Floquet theorem provides the fundamental result that the fundamental matrix of (11.16) can be written as the product of a T-periodic matrix and a (generally) nonperiodic matrix [458, p. 80]. 

W satisfies a system of linear (time-dependent) differential equations involving the matrix f (the Jacobian matrix of vector field) evaluated along the solution z(t). W may be seen as a fundamental matrix solution of the indicated Unear system. 

Let us denote by G (9, p) a fundamental matrix of solutions of the linear system... 

This theorem implies that the fundamental matrix of (1.1) has the form... 

Once n is calculated, we can compute the MFPT matrix M as described in Kemeny and Snell (1976). Several auxiliary matrices have to be computed to reach M. Let Z = (1 - P + ell ) be the fundamental matrix, where I is the identity matrix, P the transition probability matrix, e a vector of all ones and n fhe vector of steady state probabilities. Let also be the matrix that has the same elements as Z in the diagonal and zeros elsewhere and...
