In our last primer we saw the Fourier series, which flushed out the notion that a periodic function can be represented as an infinite series of sines and cosines. While this is fine and dandy, and quite a powerful tool, it does not suffice for the real world. In the real world, very little is truly periodic, especially since human measurements can only record a finite period of time. Even things we wish to explore on this blog are hardly periodic (for instance, image analysis). |

The Cayley-Hamilton Theorem says that a square matrix $LATEX A$ satisfies its characteristic equation, that is $latex p(A) = 0$ where $latex p(t) = \det(tI-A)$ is the characteristic polynomial. This statement is not simply the substitution ``$latex p(A) = \det(A - A) = 0$'', which is not valid since $latex t$ must remain a scalar... |

The Riemann zeta function $latex \zeta(s)$ can be expressed as $latex \zeta(s) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^s}$, for complex numbers s whose real part is greater than 1. By analytic continuation, $latex \zeta(s)$ can be extended to all complex numbers except where $latex s = 1$. The power sum $latex S_a(M)$ is given by $latex S_a(M) =... |

Let \(A\) be the \(n\times n\) matrix with \({ij}^\text{th}\) entry \(A_{ij}=\min\{i,j\}\). From a previous post, we know \(A\) has a tridiagonal inverse \(A^{-1}\) with \({ij}^\text{th}\) entry1 $$\left[A^{-1}\right]_{ij}=\begin{cases} 2 & \text{if}\ i=j |
