We present a procedure which enables the computation and the description of structures of isotropy subgroups of the group of complex orthogonal matrices with respect to the action of *congruence on Hermitian matrices. A key ingredient in our proof is an algorithm giving solutions of a certain rectangular block (complex-alternating) upper triangular Toeplitz matrix equation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Eigenvalue decomposition of quaternion Hermitian matrices is a crucial mathematical tool for color image reconstruction and recognition. Quaternion Jacobi method is one of the classical methods to compute the eigenvalues of a quaternion Hermitian matrix. Using quaternion Jacobi rotations, this paper brings forward an innovative method for the eigenvalue decomposition of dual quaternion Hermitian matrices. The effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed through numerical experiments. Furthermore, a dual complex matrix representation for the color image is developed, and the dual quaternion Jacobi method is applied to the eigenvalue problems of dual complex Hermitian matrices. This approach achieves successful results in the color images reconstruction and recognition. Compared to the quaternion matrix representation of the color image, this approach makes computations more convenient when dealing with problems related to color image processing.

In the field of radar target detection, the conventional approach is to employ the range profile energy accumulation method for detecting extended targets. However, this method becomes ineffective when dealing with non-stationary and non-uniform radar clutter scenarios, as well as long-distance targets with weak radar cross sections (RCSs). In such cases, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the target echo is severely degraded, rendering the energy accumulation detection algorithm unreliable. To address this issue, this paper presents a new extended target detection method based on the maximum eigenvalue of the Hermitian matrix. This method utilizes a detection model that incorporates observed data and employs the likelihood ratio test (LRT) theory to derive the maximum eigenvalue detector at low SNR. Specifically, the detector constructs a matrix using a sliding window block with the available data and then computes the maximum eigenvalue of the covariance matrix. Subsequently, the maximum eigenvalue matrix is transformed into a one-dimensional eigenvalue image, enabling extended target detection through analogy with the energy accumulation detection method. Furthermore, this paper analyzes the proposed extended target detection method from both theoretical and experimental perspectives, validating it through field-measured data. The results obtained from the measured data demonstrate that the method effectively enhances the SNR in low SNR conditions, thereby improving target detection performance. Additionally, the method exhibits robustness across different scattering center targets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, the octonion matrix equation A X B = C is studied based on semi-tensor product of matrices. Firstly, we propose the left real element representation and the right real element representation of octonion. Then we obtain the expression of the least squares Hermitian solution to the octonion matrix equation A X B = C by combining these representations with H -representation of the special matrices. In addition, we also put forward the equivalent condition of existence and general expression of the Hermitian solution to the octonion matrix equation A X B = C. Finally, the validity and stability of our method is verified by numerical experiments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Summary: The hybrid precoding problem is considered a Frobenius norm reduction problem for the narrowband channel in a millimeter wave (mmWave) with multiple inputs and outputs (mmWave MIMO). This work proposes a hybrid distributed online and alternating convex optimization (HDO‐ACO) algorithm to improve hybrid precoding (HP), interpreted as a trace minimization problem. HDO‐ACO alternately determines the digital and analog precoders to reduce the trace by keeping the other constant. Initially, HDO‐ACO uses Lagrange's method to determine the digital precoding subproblem. Then, it uses the integrated distributed online convex optimization and alternating minimization algorithm in the analog precoder design. In the HP method, the digital and analog precoders are iteratively updated until the highest number of iterations or convergence is reached. But this hybrid precoding method requires an initial analog precoding matrix input to begin the iteration. The algorithms converge gradually and fall into a suboptimal solution when the initial analog precoding matrix is set randomly. Hence, an initial value acceleration‐based heuristic approach is used in the HDO‐ACO alternating minimization algorithm that calculates the initial feasible value of an alternating minimization method using channel conditions. The simulation results of the proposed HDO‐ACO algorithm are presented under bit error rate (BER), spectral efficiency (SE), and convergence behavior by comparing it with modified block coordinate descent–HP (MBCD‐HP), manifold optimization–alternating minimization (MO‐AltMin), and semi‐definite relaxation‐based alternating optimization (SDR‐AO). The proposed HDO‐ACO attains maximum SE and less BER than other hyper‐precoding designs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Cayley transform of a matrix A , C (A) = (I + A) − 1 (I − A) , has been investigated in the contexts of skew-symmetry, eigenvalue mapping and as a factorization technique for several matrix positivity classes. Here, we extend the discussion to Cayley transforms of almost skew-Hermitian matrices, positive definite matrices, semipositive matrices, as well as subclasses of the M -matrices, H -matrices and their inverses.

A square matrix A over the field of complex numbers is said to be Hermitian if A = A ∗ , the conjugate transpose of A, while Hermitian matrices are known to be an important class of matrices. In addition to the definition, a Hermitian matrix can be characterized by some other matrix equalities. This fact can be described in the implication form f (A , A ∗) = 0 ⇔ A = A ∗ , where f (·) denotes certain ordinary algebraic operation of A and A ∗ . In this note, we show two special cases of the equivalent facts: A A ∗ A = A ∗ A A ∗ ⇔ A 3 = A A ∗ A ⇔ A = A ∗ without assuming the invertibility of A through the skillful use of decompositions and determinants of matrices. Several consequences and extensions are presented to a selection of matrix equalities composed of multiple products of A and A ∗ . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, by using gradients of Gateaux differentiable G -increasing functions, we establish some interpolation results for the following G -majorization triangle inequality: (x + y) ↓ ≺ G x ↓ + y ↓ for vectors x , y of an Eaton triple with normal map (⋅) ↓. In particular, we show refinements for the majorization Ky Fan's eigenvalue inequality λ (x + y) ≺ m λ (x) + λ (y) for x , y ∈ H n , where H n is the space of n × n Hermitian matrices and λ (⋅) is the eigenvalue operator on H n. We derive analogous results for an inner product space with its standard norm, and for real skew-symmetric matrices with their singular values. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The receiver's architecture is always a critical issue in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, as it has a great impact on the system's performance and complexity. Accordingly, in this paper, a spectral decomposition-based minimum mean squared error (MMSE) receiver is proposed in an uplink multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) system with a full-duplex decode and forward relay. Imperfect channel state information is assumed at the relay and base station where, least-squares channel estimation technique is applied due to its simplicity and low complexity. An equivalent relay is applied for self-interference cancellation. While, multi-user interference is mitigated by using the block diagonalization concept. A closed-form expression for the mean squared error (MSE) of the estimated data symbol is derived in the presence of channel estimation error. Moreover, an optimization problem is solved to derive an expression for the proposed MMSE receiver's matrix. Finally, the performance of the proposed receiver is compared to that of the conventional receiver and Zero-forcing (ZF) receiver. Results show the superiority of the proposed receiver over both receivers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
