Talk:Diagonally dominant matrix

message: Putting a space between "i" and "th" may improve readability in many browsers, but it isn't correct; "i" and "th" aren't separate words.  You might put a hyphen, but I don't think that's terribly common.  As an example, Strang's "Linear Algebra" uses "ith" and not "i-th".
As an alternative for readability in browsers, the sentence could be reworded to use the phrase "row i and column j" instead.  Lunch 21:14, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

message: In case the term "strictly diagonally dominant" is used, then the matrices for which the conditions is satisfied for \geq are usually called simply "diagonally dominant", and not "weakly diagonally dominant". It might be useful to include this in the article, since it can easily cause misinterpretations. Lp82 (talk) 08:17, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Variations 

message: Although this concept is not complex, a lack of examples makes it more difficult to initially understand. Since there are no examples of diagonally dominant matrices on the page, I propose adding a section with at least one example. Most likely more than one example would be necessary, one for a strictly diagonally dominant matrix and one for a diagonally dominant matrix that is not strictly diagonally dominant.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Neoleex (talk • contribs) 23:49, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I would like to see a reference to a proof for this:
A Hermitian diagonally dominant matrix with real non-negative diagonal entries is positive semi-definite. If the symmetry requirement is eliminated, such a matrix is not necessarily positive semi-definite; however, the real parts of its eigenvalues are non-negative.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.71.203.67 (talk) 08:25, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Ultrarelativistic limit

message: what is E=pc?
The energy of a body is equal to its momentum times the speed of light in a vacuum.
The momentum is p =\gamma mv. It is a Lorentz invariant.
You have also:
: E = \gamma mc^2
: E^2 = \gamma^2 m^2c^4
: (1-\beta^2)E^2 =  m^2c^4 using \gamma^2 = \frac{1}{1-\beta^2} where \beta=v/c
: E^2 - \beta^2E^2 = m^2c^4
: E^2 = m^2c^4 + \beta^2E^2 = m^2c^4 + \frac{v^2}{c^2}(\gamma m c^2)^2 = m^2c^4 + (\gamma m v)^2 c^2
: E^2 = m^2c^4 + p^2 c^2
When m=0, E=0 using the above trick ! This does not apply to massless stuff !
However it is true to say that when v \approx c , p \approx \gamma m c, and of course, E = \gamma m c^2 \approx pc  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jlpons (talk • contribs) 12:46, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  ontological mapping; distorted mapping (as in mathematics); entropic mapping (non-conformal with missing and/or additional parts), etc. 

message: I have no idea what this sentence means: "... worked-out explanation of mentality currently lies outside the scope of such theories."
The entire subject of science consists in studying puzzles, which is say things for which worked-out explanations are beyond the scope of current understandings. Now perhaps "scope of such theories" means something different from "current understandings." But if so, what is the possible procedure for showing that a given topic  is fundamentally outside what existing theories can ever accommodate? The author is apparently claiming to know something that (as far as I know) he has no basis for.  And worse, they take it as axiomatic when it clearly needs proof.
This discussion reminds me of the "God in the gaps" argument for "scientific creationism." Just because we don't have (and likely never will have) all the evolutionary steps towards emergence of people, it does not follow that "God did it." Similarly, just because we cannot reduce all human behavior to existing physics, it does not follow that it can't be done.

Talk:Ol' Roy

message: I found it surprising - and a little amusing that 'Ol Roy was marked for deletion as an advertisement.  My surprise is because 'Ol Roy is a common example cited by marketers when discussing the rise of private label store brands such as Sam's Choice, Kirkland Signature and even private label store formats like Trader Joe's.  'Ol Roy is frequently cited because, first, it was started in 1983 which is (as best I've been able to ascertain) relatively early for private label brands. Second, and more significantly, 'Ol Roy is the #1 dog food brand.  Let that sink in for a moment.  'Ol Roy which has (as far as I know) never had a traditional radio, television, etc. advertising spot has surpassed traditional brands such as  Alpo, Purina and other traditionally sold brands in sales?  This is a landscape change in how to sell branded products when a store brand can outsell a traditional advertising brand.  And don't think the traditional brand companies haven't noticed.  The result has been consolidation of companies (such as  Proctor & Gamble with Gillette), attempts to differentiate/innovate brands to stand out (my favorite example is Multi-Grain  Cheerios) and increased evidence of the power of retailers such as Wal-Mart (with The Coca-Cola Company's willingness to upset its smaller United States bottlers by allowing Coca-Cola Enterprises to experiment with shipping Powerade to Wal-Mart's warehouses rather than delivery in-store)   In short, 'Ol Roy (and its peer store brands) has been a success despite their utter lack of advertisement which makes the marking 'Ol Roy Wikipedia entry (and its successful peers) for deletion as an ad is quite humorous.Jvandyke 22:00, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
