Canonical forms for boundary conditions of self-adjoint odd-order differential operators

Yorick Hardy, Bertin Zinsou

It is useful to have canonical forms of boundary conditions in the study of the eigenvalues of boundary value problems and associated numerical applications. In [J. Appl. Anal. Com…

Kronecker differences

Keegan Doig Anderson, Yorick Hardy, Bertin Zinsou

Over the real numbers, the Kronecker sum is the unique operation on matrices which exponentiates to the Kronecker product. Kronecker quotients provide an algebraic view of decompos…

Canonical forms for boundary conditions of self-adjoint differential operators

Yorick Hardy, Bertin Zinsou

Canonical forms of boundary conditions are important in the study of the eigenvalues of boundary conditions and their numerical computations. The known canonical forms for self-adj…

Preserving the trace of the Kronecker sum

Yorick Hardy, Ajda Fošner

The aim of this paper is to study linear preservers of the trace of Kronecker sums and their connection with preservers of determinants of Kronecker products. The partial trace and…
