SIMETRISASI BENTUK KANONIK JORDAN

If the characteristic polynomial of a linear operator is completely factored in scalar field of then Jordan canonical form of can be converted to its rational canonical form of , and vice versa. If the characteristic polynomial of linear operator is not completely factored in the scalar field of ,then the rational canonical form of can still be obtained but not its Jordan canonical form matrix . In this case, the rational canonical form of can be converted to its Jordan canonical form by extending the scalar field of to Splitting Field of minimal polynomial of , thus forming the Jordan canonical form of over Splitting Field of . Conversely, converting the Jordan canonical form of over Splitting Field of to its rational canonical form uses symmetrization on the Jordan decomposition basis of so as to form a cyclic decomposition basis of which is then used to form the rational canonical matrix of

Solution of Fractional Differential Equation Systems and Computation of Matrix Mittag–Leffler Functions

In this paper, solutions for systems of linear fractional differential equations are considered. For the commensurate order case, solutions in terms of matrix Mittag–Leffler functions were derived by the Picard iterative process. For the incommensurate order case, the system was converted to a commensurate order case by newly introducing unknown functions. Computation of matrix Mittag–Leffler functions was considered using the methods of the Jordan canonical matrix and minimal polynomial or eigenpolynomial, respectively. Finally, numerical examples were solved using the proposed methods.

Perturbation analysis of a matrix differential equation ẋ = ABx

Two complex matrix pairs (A, B) and (A′, B′) are contragrediently equivalent if there are nonsingular S and R such that (A′, B′) = (S−1AR, R−1BS). M.I. García-Planas and V.V. Sergeichuk (1999) constructed a miniversal deformation of a canonical pair (A, B) for contragredient equivalence; that is, a simple normal form to which all matrix pairs (A + A͠, B + B͠) close to (A, B) can be reduced by contragredient equivalence transformations that smoothly depend on the entries of A͠ and B͠. Each perturbation (A͠, B͠) of (A, B) defines the first order induced perturbation AB͠ + A͠B of the matrix AB, which is the first order summand in the product (A + A͠)(B + B͠) = AB + AB͠ + A͠B + A͠B͠. We find all canonical matrix pairs (A, B), for which the first order induced perturbations AB͠ + A͠B are nonzero for all nonzero perturbations in the normal form of García-Planas and Sergeichuk. This problem arises in the theory of matrix differential equations ẋ = Cx, whose product of two matrices: C = AB; using the substitution x = Sy, one can reduce C by similarity transformations S−1CS and (A, B) by contragredient equivalence transformations (S−1AR, R−1BS).

Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) of Bolted Joint Subjected to Dynamic Loosening under Soft Foot Condition

— In this paper thirty nine factors responsible for the dynamic loosening, under soft foot condition, of a bolted joint have been enumerated and its Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) has been developed. In this systematic approach of ISM, first of all a concept model of the problem has been formulated, followed by the formulations of Structural Self-Interaction Matrix (SSIM) and Reachability Matrix. The level of significance of each factor has been derived by level partitioning. The initial digraph is prepared on the basis of the canonical matrix. ISM based model is finalized after checking for conceptual inconsistency and necessary modifications. The MICMAC analysis is also conducted with the help of driving and dependence diagram, which states that factor 31 (vibration loosening) and 36 (additional stresses in the bolt) are the major threat for joint integrity and needs more attention.
