Solution of Linear Systems of Equations Ax=b and Ax=0 using Unifying Approach with Geometric Algebra: Outer Product Application and Angular Conditionality

Abstract

A solution of linear systems of equations Ax=b and Ax=0 is a vital part of many computational packages. This paper presents a novel formulation based on the projective extension of the Euclidean space using the outer product (extended cross-product). This approach enables to solve the both cases, i.e. Ax=b and Ax=0. The proposed approach leads actually to an analytical solution of linear systems in the form on which the other vector operation can be applied before using the numerical evaluation. This contribution also proposes a new approach to the conditionality estimation of matrices applicable to non-squared matrices. It splits the conditionality to structural conditionality showing matrix property if nearly unlimited precision is used, numerical issue which depends on numerical representation with respect to the right-hand side influence, if given.

Average Chord Lengths in a Triangle

Let $P$ be a point inside a triangle $T$. We consider the average length of the chords of $T$ through $P$, where the direction of the chord is chosen uniformly. An elementary formula is obtained in terms of the distances from $P$ to the sides and vertices of the triangle. Several classical triangle centers give especially simple specializations. For example, if $I$ is the incenter, then \[ M_T(I)=\frac{2r}{\pi} \log\left(\cot\frac A4\cot\frac B4\cot\frac C4\right). \] Our main result is the sharp inequality \[ M_T(P)\le \frac{p}{\pi\sqrt3}\log(2+\sqrt3), \] valid simultaneously for every triangle of perimeter $p$ and every interior point $P$. Thus, among all such pairs $(T,P)$, the largest possible average chord length occurs only when $T$ is equilateral and $P$ is its center. The proof is an elementary symmetrization argument. We close with brief remarks relating the problem to the radial center of a convex body, the electrostatic potential center of a triangle, and dual quermassintegrals.

A Proof of Liu's Conjecture on the Fundamental Triangle Inequality

Let $a,b,c$ be the side lengths of a triangle, and let $R$ and $r$ denote its circumradius and inradius, respectively. We prove a conjecture of Liu stating that \[\sum_{\mathrm{cyc}} \left(\frac{a(b+c-a)}{bc}\right)^k \geq 2+\left(\frac{2r}{R}\right)^k,~~k>1, \] with the reverse inequality for $0<k<1$. The proof reduces the problem to three positive variables with fixed sum and product. We also determine the equality cases.
