Let q be a prime a power and k an integer such that 3 ≤ k ≤ q. In this paper we present a method using Latin squares to construct adjacency matrices of k-regular bipartite graphs of girth 8 on $2(kq^{2}-q)$ vertices. Some ...
• #### A design procedure for overlapped guaranteed cost controllers ﻿

Conference lecture
Open Access
In this paper a quadratic guaranteed cost control problem for a class of linear continuous-time state-delay systems with norm-bounded uncertainties is considered. We will suppose that the systems are composed by two ...
• #### A geometric approach to the Carlson problem ﻿

(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (Filadèlfia), 2000)
Article
Open Access
The possible observability indices of an observable pair of matrices, when supplementary subpairs are prescribed, are characterized when the “quotient” one is nilpotent. The geometric techniques used are also valid in the ...

A matrix derivation of a well-known representation theorem for (tr Ap)1/p is given, which is the solution of a restricted maximization problem. The paper further gives a solution of the corresponding restricted minimization ...
• #### A matrix function useful in the estimation of linear continuous-time models. ﻿

Article
Open Access
In a recent publication Chen & Zadrozny (2001) derive some equations for efficiently computing eA and ∇ eA, its derivative. They employ an expression due to Bellman (1960), Snider (1964) and Wilcox (1967) for the differential ...
• #### A new approach to the spectral excess theorem for distance-regular graphs ﻿

(2009-04-01)
Article
Open Access
The Spectral Excess Theorem provides a quasi-spectral characterization for a (regular) graph $\Gamma$ with $d+1$ different eigenvalues to be distance-regular graph, in terms of the mean (d-1)-excess of its vertices.\ The ...
• #### A new proof of the Milliken-Akdeniz theorem ﻿

Article
Open Access
A simple proof is given for a theorem by Milliken and Akdeniz (1977) about the difference of the Moore-Penrose inverses of two positive semi-definite matrices.

We present a variational solution of the time-dependent Schrodinger equation formed from a restricted superposition of frozen Gaussian wavepackets. The trial function is comprised of a set of frozen Gaussian wavepackets ...
• #### A Volume Visualization Algorithm using a coherent Extended Weight Matrix ﻿

(1995-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policy
Direct cell-to-cell volume visualization algorithms, also called projective rendering methods, present the advantage of allowing semi-transparencies and, additionally, as they project all the samples, they avoid the ...
