Topic: Linear system of divisors


  
  Linear system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
For time-invariant systems this is the basis of the impulse response or the frequency response methods (see LTI system theory), which describe a general input function x(t) in terms of unit impulses or frequency components.
Typical differential equations of linear time-invariant systems are well adapted to analysis using the Laplace transform in the continuous case, and the Z-transform in the discrete case (especially in computer implementations).
A common use of linear models is to describe a nonlinear system by linearization.

 Linear system of divisors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A linear system in general is part of, but not necessarily the whole of, an equivalence class for linear equivalence.
Such classes are parametrised by a projective space, and the definition of a linear system is as the divisors corresponding to a linear subspace of that projective space.
Linear systems are still at the heart of contemporary algebraic geometry; but they are typically introduced by means of the ample line bundle language.

 Linear Equivalence of Divisors
If C is a curve defined over a finite field, then this returns an abelian group isomorphic to its divisor class group, a map of representatives from the class group to the divisor group and the homomorphism from the divisor group onto the class group.
If D is a divisor on C then colloquially speaking the Riemann--Roch space L(D) is the finite dimensional vector subspace of the function field of C consisting of functions with poles no worse that D (and at least as many zeros as the negative part of D if D is not effective).
This is the map determined by (a basis of the) Riemann--Roch space of the canonical divisor K_C.

 A New Program for Computing the P-Linear System Cardinality that Determines the Group of Weil Divisors of a Zariski ...
Previously an algorithm and associated computer program for determining the group of Weil divisors of a normal Zariski surface, Xg, given by zp=g(x,y), where p>0 is the characteristic of a fixed algebraically closed field, k, containing g(x,y), has been presented.
The algorithm generates a p-linear system of equations that has a set of solutions isomorphic to the divisor class group of the surface.
The divisor class group, which is an abelian group and a geometric invariant, assists in the classification of algebraic surfaces over a fixed algebraically closed field.

In mathematics, automatic control and digital signal processing, a linear system is a model comprising a system of linear functions such that the behaviour of the resulting system can be described as a sum of the linear parts, as opposed to nonlinear systems, which may contain nonlinear functions.
The mathematical properties of linear systems will typically include differential equations, which make them fit for analysis using the laplace transform in the continuous case, and Z-transform in the discrete case (especially in computer implementations).

Given two systems X and Y, we can consider a system Z (the union of X and Y) whose states are all states of X and all states of Y.
For two systems X and Y with common states there is a system Z (the intersection of X and Y) whose states are their common states.
Two systems interact if states of one system depend on states of the other one, which is described as a function in set theoretical terms.

 Divisors
To any ideal $I$ in the homogeneous coordinate ring $S_X$ of $X$ we associate the effective divisor that is the sum of the pure codimension $1$ components of $I$, each taken with the multiplicity it has in the primary decomposition of $I$.
A divisor $D$ is principal iff $L(D)$ has dimension one, and the zero locus of its generator is the empty set.

 ABSTRACT ALGEBRA ON LINE: Integers
Any two nonzero integers a and b have a greatest common divisor, which can be expressed as the smallest positive linear combination of a and b.
Moreover, an integer is a linear combination of a and b if and only if it is a multiple of their greatest common divisor.
The greatest common divisor of two numbers can be computed by using a procedure known as the Euclidean algorithm.

An attempt to generate in a computer-algebra system a substantial part of this table, as well as extend it further, faces several complications, including the following.
In the first stage we start from an integrand symbolically factored into possibly complex linear factors, permitting explicit formulas for reduction by one-parameter recurrence relations to a set of basic integrals somewhat different from the classical ones.
On the other hand an integrand containing only linear factors with symbolic coefficients can be integrated in terms of canonical R-functions with no assumptions about the numerical values of the symbols; for this purpose Legendre's canonical forms are unsuitable.

 Citebase - On Shokurov's Log Flips: The 3-dimensional Case
The main idea is to choose a good reduced Cartier divisor H on Z such that it contains all singularities of Z and sin gularities of the push down of the boundary on Z. And moreover that the components of ∗ H on any model W of Z generate the Neron-Severi group of W.
DW = i=1 di Di, such that Di is a divisor on W, is the trace of D on W where W is a birational model of Y.
The bounded family in the conjecture corresponds to that bounded family of divisors, because each of those divisors is free on a model depending on the divisor.

The theme is that arbitrary big line bundles display a surprising number of properties analogous to those of ample divisors.
One offshoot of this new approach is that one can solve a large system of equations by finding the solution components of its subsystems and then intersecting these.
It also allows one to find the intersection of two components of the two possibly identical polynomial systems, which is not possible with any previous numerical continuation approach.

We present the argument in a manner such that precalculus level mathematics is sufficient for understanding (and enjoying) the introductory arguments, while elementary calculus and linear algebra are sufficient prerequisites for much of the paper.
Then the expected number of real zeros of the system is $$\sqrt{\prod_{k=1}^m d_k}.$$ The result has also been generalized to underdetermined systems of equations \cite{Ko1}.
This number is called the {\it degree} of the embedding (or of the {\it complete linear system of divisors}, if we wish to emphasize the intersections).
