When successive powers of a matrix T become small (that is, when all of the entries of T approach zero, upon raising T to successive powers), the matrix T converges to the zero matrix. A regular splitting of a non-singular matrix A results in a convergent matrix T. A semi-convergent splitting of a matrix A results in a semi-convergent matrix T.
A matrix effect value of less than 100 indicates suppression, while a value larger than 100 is a sign of matrix enhancement. An alternative definition of matrix effect utilizes the formula: M E = 100 ( A ( e x t r a c t ) A ( s t a n d a r d ) ) − 100 {\displaystyle ME=100\left({\frac {A(extract)}{A(standard)}}\right)-100}
Laplacian matrix — a matrix equal to the degree matrix minus the adjacency matrix for a graph, used to find the number of spanning trees in the graph. Seidel adjacency matrix — a matrix similar to the usual adjacency matrix but with −1 for adjacency; +1 for nonadjacency; 0 on the diagonal.
Matrix congruence is an equivalence relation. Matrix congruence arises when considering the effect of change of basis on the Gram matrix attached to a bilinear form or quadratic form on a finite-dimensional vector space: two matrices are congruent if and only if they represent the same bilinear form with respect to different bases.
Conjugate gradient, assuming exact arithmetic, converges in at most n steps, where n is the size of the matrix of the system (here n = 2). In mathematics, the conjugate gradient method is an algorithm for the numerical solution of particular systems of linear equations, namely those whose matrix is positive-semidefinite.
In chemistry a convergent synthesis is a strategy that aims to improve the efficiency of multistep synthesis, most often in organic synthesis. In this type of synthesis several individual pieces of a complex molecule are synthesized in stage one, and then in stage two these pieces are combined to form the final product. [ 1 ]
In quantum mechanics, a density matrix (or density operator) is a matrix that describes an ensemble [1] of physical systems as quantum states (even if the ensemble contains only one system). It allows for the calculation of the probabilities of the outcomes of any measurements performed upon the systems of the ensemble using the Born rule .
Crystal structure of a first-generation polyphenylene dendrimer reported by Müllen et al [5] A first-generation "cyanostar" dendrimer and its STM image [6]. The first dendrimers were made by divergent synthesis approaches by Fritz Vögtle in 1978, [7] R.G. Denkewalter at Allied Corporation in 1981, [8] [9] Donald Tomalia at Dow Chemical in 1983 [10] and in 1985, [11] [12] and by George R ...
