Title: The matrix equation X + AT
X-1
A = Q and its application in nano
research
Time & Place: Friday, December 11, 3:30 - 4:30 pm, CL 435
Abstract
The matrix equation X + AT
X-1
A = Q has been studied extensively
when A and Q are real square matrices and Q is symmetric positive defi-
nite. The equation has positive definite solutions under suitable conditions,
and in that case the solution of interest is the maximal positive definite solu-
tion. The same matrix equation plays an important role in Green's function
calculations in nano research, but the matrix Q there is usually indefinite (so
the matrix equation has no positive definite solutions) and one is interested
in the case where the matrix equation has no positive definite solutions even
