Abstract

In high-dimensional data processing and data analysis related to dual quaternion statistics, generalized singular value decomposition (GSVD) of a dual quaternion matrix pair is an essential numerical linear algebra tool for an elegant problem formulation and numerical implementation. In this paper, building upon the existing singular value decomposition (SVD) of a dual quaternion matrix, we put forward several types of GSVD of dual quaternion data matrices in accordance with their dimensions. Explicitly, for a given dual quaternion matrix pair $\{{\boldsymbol A}, {\boldsymbol B}\}$, if ${\boldsymbol A}$ and ${\boldsymbol B}$ have the same number of columns, we investigate two forms of their quotient-type SVD (DQGSVD) through different strategies, which can be selected to use in different scenarios. Three artificial examples are presented to illustrate the principle of the DQGSVD. Alternatively, if ${\boldsymbol A}$ and ${\boldsymbol B}$ have the same number of rows, we consider their canonical correlation decomposition (DQCCD). If ${\boldsymbol A}$ and ${\boldsymbol B}$ are consistent for dual quaternion matrix multiplication, we present their product-type SVD (DQPSVD). As a preparation, we also study the QR decomposition of a dual quaternion matrix based on the dual quaternion Householder transformation, and introduce the CS decomposition of an 2-by-2 blocked unitary dual quaternion matrix. Due to the peculiarity of containing dual part for dual quaternion matrices, the obtained series of GSVD of dual quaternion matrices dramatically distinguish from those in the real number field, the complex number field, and even the quaternion ring, but can be treated as an extension of them to some extent.

Fully spectral scheme for the linear BGK equation on the whole space

In this article, we design a fully spectral method in both space and velocity for a linear inhomogeneous kinetic equation with mass, momentum and energy conservation. We focus on the linear BGK equation with a confinement potential $Φ$, even if the method could be applied to different collision operators. It is based upon the projection on Hermite polynomials in velocity and orthonormal polynomials with respect to the weight $e^{-$Φ$}$ in space. The potential $Φ$ is assumed to be a polynomial. It is, to the author's knowledge, the first scheme which preserves hypocoercive behavior in addition to the conservation laws. These different properties are illustrated numerically on both quadratic and double well potential.

Inverse inequalities for kernel-based approximation on bounded domains and Riemannian manifolds

This paper establishes inverse inequalities for kernel-based approximation spaces defined on bounded Lipschitz domains in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and compact Riemannian manifolds. While inverse inequalities are well-studied for polynomial spaces, their extension to kernel-based trial spaces poses significant challenges. For bounded Lipschitz domains, we extend prior Bernstein inequalities, which only apply to a limited range of Sobolev orders, to the full range of lower and upper orders, and derive Nikolskii inequalities that bound $L_\infty$ norms by $L_2$ norms. For compact Riemannian manifolds, we focus on restricted kernels, which are defined as the restriction of positive definite kernels from the ambient Euclidean space to the manifold, and prove their counterparts.

Error Estimates for Hyperbolic Scaling Limits of Linear Kinetic Models on Networks

This paper studies linear discrete kinetic models on networks and their asymptotic behavior in the small Knudsen number limit. For coupling conditions at an n-edge junction under a symmetric formulation, we introduce a change of variables that reformulates the system into n independent initial-boundary value problems. The asymptotic expansions are then constructed and rigorously justified by deriving an error estimate based on the energy method.
