Corpus analysis for Hermitian
- In this selection, "hermitian" usually appears near the start of the sentence. The average example has 21.1 words, and this corpus slice is mostly made up of statements.
- Around the word, non, maximally, necessarily, matrix, form and products stand out and add context to how "hermitian" is used.
- Recognizable usage signals include a hermitian matrix is and a maximally hermitian precisely by. That gives this page its own corpus information beyond isolated example sentences.
- By corpus frequency, "hermitian" sits close to words such as aaaa, abductees and abdulahi, which helps place it inside the broader word index.
Example types with hermitian
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
It will be recalled that P is Hermitian. (8 words)
A Hermitian matrix is positive definite if all its eigenvalues are positive. (12 words)
Unlike Inner Products, Scalar Products and Hermitian Products need not be positive-definite. (13 words)
Hermitian vector spaces and spinors If the vector space V has extra structure that provides a decomposition of its complexification into two maximal isotropic subspaces, then the definition of spinors (by either method) becomes natural. (35 words)
Negative-definite, semidefinite and indefinite matrices A Hermitian matrix is negative-definite, negative-semidefinite, or positive-semidefinite if and only if all of its eigenvalues are negative, non-positive, or non-negative, respectively. (33 words)
But in this work, the team used a method that made these open systems accessible, and “we found interesting topological properties in these non-Hermitian systems,” Zhou says. (28 words)
Example sentences (16)
Conjugate symmetry is also called Hermitian symmetry, and a conjugate symmetric sesquilinear form is called a Hermitian form.
Hermitian Product Spaces are restricted to the field of complex numbers and have "hermitian products" that are conjugate-symmetrical and linear in the first argument(by convention).
But in this work, the team used a method that made these open systems accessible, and “we found interesting topological properties in these non-Hermitian systems,” Zhou says.
According to the postulates of quantum mechanics, such quantities are defined by Hermitian operators that act on the Hilbert space of possible states of a system.
A Hermitian matrix is positive definite if all its eigenvalues are positive.
A Hermitian matrix is positive semidefinite if and only if all of its principal minors are nonnegative.
Each observable is represented by a maximally Hermitian (precisely: by a self-adjoint ) linear operator acting on the state space.
Hermitian vector spaces and spinors If the vector space V has extra structure that provides a decomposition of its complexification into two maximal isotropic subspaces, then the definition of spinors (by either method) becomes natural.
Indefinite A Hermitian matrix which is neither positive definite, negative definite, positive-semidefinite, nor negative-semidefinite is called indefinite.
In summary, the distinguishing feature between the real and complex case is that, a bounded positive operator on a complex Hilbert space is necessarily Hermitian, or self adjoint.
