On the Algebraic Problem Concerning the Normal Forms of Linear Dynamical Systems

Williamson, John·1936·American Journal of Mathematics

Abstract

Introduction. Let m be the number of degrees of freedom of a linear conservative dynamical systenm and let the point (q1, q2,9 * , q'Mn Pl p2, . . . p'mt) of the phase space be denoted by x = (xl, x2, , x.2M). A system of 2m ordinary differential equations of the first order, which are homogeneous, linear and do not contain t explicitly, is a canonical system if, and only if, there exists a symmetric matrix A, such that the differential equations may be written in the form (i) Bdx/dt =Ax,

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
