We study the following question: suppose that A and ℬ are two algebras of complex n × n matrices such that the ring commutator [A, B] = AB – BA is "small" for each A ∈ A and B ∈ ℬ; does this imply ...

Linearity, as first encountered in the algebra of vectors and matrices, provides the foundation for many other branches of mathematics. This course provides an introduction to two directions that ...

Abstract: A central problem in built-in self test (BIST) is how to efficiently generate a small set of test vectors that detect all targeted faults. We propose a novel solution that uses linear ...
