ABSTRACT
In this article, we consider linearly convex complex cones in complex Banach spaces and we define a new projective metric on these cones. Compared to the hyperbolic gauge of Rugh, it has the advantages of being explicit and easier to estimate. We prove that this metric also satisfies a contraction principle similar to Birkhoffs theorem for the Hilbert metric. We are thus able to improve existing results on spectral gaps for complex matrices. Finally, we compare the contraction principles for the hyperbolic gauge and our metric on particular cones, including complexification of Birkhoff cones. It appears that the contraction principles for our metric and the hyperbolic gauge occur simultaneously on these cones. However, we get better contraction rates with our metric.

We study decoherence properties of arbitrarily long histories constructed from a fixed projective partition of a finite dimensional Hilbert space. We show that decoherence of such histories for all initial states that are naturally induced by the projective partition implies decoherence for...

In this paper, perturbations of the left and right essential spectra of $2\times 2$ upper triangular operator matrix $M_C$ are studied, where $M_C= \left(\begin{smallmatrix} A & C 0 & B \end{smallmatrix}\right)$ is an operator acting on the Hilbert space \${\cal...

In this paper, Mahalanobis depth (MHD) in the Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space (RKHS) is proposed. First, we extend the notion of MHD to a generalized version, i.e., the generalized MHD (GHMD), to make it suitable for the small sample with singular covariance matrix. We prove that GMHD is...
