[BOOK][B] Matrix theory: from generalized inverses to Jordan form

R Piziak, PL Odell - 2007 - taylorfrancis.com
In 1990, the National Science Foundation recommended that every college mathematics
curriculum should include a second course in linear algebra. In answer to this recommendation…

Full rank factorization of matrices

R Piziak, PL Odell - Mathematics magazine, 1999 - Taylor & Francis
There are various useful ways to write a matrix as the product of two or three other matrices
that have special properties. For example, today's linear algebra texts relate Gaussian …

Implication connectives in orthomodular lattices.

L Herman, EL Marsden, R Piziak - Notre Dame Journal of Formal …, 1975 - projecteuclid.org
1 Introduction It was pointed out as long ago as 1936 by Birkhoff and von Neumann [2], that
the logic of empirically verifiable propositions about a quantum mechanical system is not …

Constructing projections on sums and intersections

R Piziak, PL Odell, R Hahn - Computers & Mathematics with Applications, 1999 - Elsevier
In this note, we list several formulas for computing orthogonal projections onto the linear
sum and intersection of two subspaces of C n in terms of the projections on the individual …

Orthomodular lattices and quadratic spaces: a survey

R Piziak - The Rocky Mountain Journal of Mathematics, 1991 - JSTOR
Introduction. The theory of quadratic and Hermitian forms has a long and fruitful history in
mathematics. From the time of Fermat to the time of Minkowski, quadratic forms belonged to …

Orthomodular lattices as implication algebras

R Piziak - Journal of Philosophical Logic, 1974 - JSTOR
Recent progress has been made in the study of implication connectives on orthomodular
lattices (see [6] and [7]). Some of this research has been motivated by the delicate question of …

Modal propositional logic on an orthomodular basis. I

L Herman, R Piziak - The Journal of Symbolic Logic, 1974 - cambridge.org
A common method of obtaining the classical modal logics, for example the Feys system T,
the Lewis systems, the Brouwerian system etc., is to build on a basis for the propositional …

Sesquilinear forms in infinite dimensions

R Piziak - Pacific Journal of Mathematics, 1972 - msp.org
This paper is concerned with sesquilinear forms defined on vector spaces of arbitrary
dimension. Motivation is taken from classical Hilbert space theory, as the orthogonality relation …

Lattice theory, quadratic spaces, and quantum proposition systems

R Piziak - Foundations of physics, 1990 - Springer
A quadratic space is a generalization of a Hilbert space. The geometry of certain kinds of
subspaces (“closed,” “splitting,” etc.) is approached from the purely lattice theoretic point of view…

Orthomodular posets from sesquilinear forms

R Piziak - Journal of the Australian Mathematical Society, 1973 - cambridge.org
In this paper, we show how to generate orthomodular posets from sesquilinear forms on a
vector space.
