The different z-dependence and non-commutativity of the two components of the differential Mueller matrix of a homogeneous depolarizing medium prevent its formal identification with the Mueller matrix ...

Abstract: An improved estimator of certain bilinear forms of the logarithm of the covariance matrix is presented. The new estimator is shown to be consistent, not only for increasing sample size (as ...

Abstract: This paper first collects basic facts about various matrix logarithm algorithms suggested in the literature, based on which some existing Floquet factorization algorithms for the state ...

The study of deformation theory and convexity in solid mechanics addresses the fundamental challenge of predicting material behaviour under extensive loadings and large deformations. Central to this ...
