- Convertible subspaces that arise from different numberings of the vertices of a graphPublication . Cruz, Henrique F. Da; Inácio, Ilda; Serôdio, RogérioIn this paper, we describe subspaces of generalized Hessenberg matrices where the determinant is convertible into the permanent by affixing ± signs. These subspaces can arise from different numberings of the vertices of a graph. With this numbering process, we obtain some well-known sequences of integers. For instance, in the case of a path of length n, we prove that the number of these subspaces is the (n + 1)th Fibonacci number.
- Higher education methodologies: from urban planning to mathematical issuesPublication . Virtudes, Ana L.; Rodrigues, Ilda; Simões, A. M.; Serôdio, RogérioThis article will be focused on higher education learning and teaching methodologies, based on the experience of the Master Degree in Civil Engineering at the University of Beira Interior, in Covilhã (Portugal). It aims to present the results of the practises used by scholar of urban planning and mathematical issues, both regarding the civil engineering research field. Actually, there are some similarities in between the research process features of urban planning domain and mathematics field in order to promote the students’ success. In fact, these both scientific subjects follow analogous tasks in their research processes, not only regarding the same starting point which is the definition of the research problem, but also observing the final phase, which is based on the findings of results, or the proposed solution. It joins scholars from the department of civil engineering and architecture, experts in spatial analysis and scholars from the department of mathematics of the University of Beira Interior (UBI). One case study will be presented as an example and pioneer research of the application of these methodological approaches. It will be focused on the urban planning experiences, associated with postgraduate teachings. It is related to a PhD thesis in Civil Engineering focused on urban planning issues.
- Convertible Subspaces of Hessenberg-Type MatricesPublication . Cruz, Henrique F. Da; Rodrigues, Ilda Inácio; Serôdio, Rogério; Simões, A. M.; Velhinho, JoseWe describe subspaces of generalized Hessenberg matrices where the determinant is convertible into the permanent by affixing ± signs. An explicit characterization of convertible Hessenberg-type matrices is presented. We conclude that convertible matrices with the maximum number of nonzero entries can be reduced to a basic set.
- Bounds for the zeros of unilateral octonionic polynomialsPublication . Serôdio, Rogério; Beites, P. D.; Vitoria, JoséIn the present work it is proved that the zeros of a unilateral octo- nionic polynomial belong to the conjugacy classes of the latent roots of an appropriate lambda-matrix. This allows the use of matricial norms, and matrix norms in particular, to obtain upper and lower bounds for the zeros of unilateral octonionic polynomials. Some results valid for complex and/or matrix polynomials are extended to octonionic polyno- mials.
- Eigenvalues of matrices related to the octonionsPublication . Serôdio, Rogério; Beites, P. D.; Vitoria, JoseA pseudo real matrix representation of an octonion, which is based on two real matrix represen- tations of a quaternion, is considered. We study how some operations defined on the octonions change the set of eigenvalues of the matrix obtained if these operations are performed after or before the matrix representation. The established results could be of particular interest to researchers working on estimation algorithms involving such operations.
- Research methodologies focused on urban planning and mathematical issuesPublication . Virtudes, Ana L.; Rodrigues, Ilda Inácio; Sá, João Paulo Costa e; Azevedo, Henrique Oliveira de; Simões, Alberto; Serôdio, RogérioThis article aims to present an interdisciplinary approach about the research methodologies used at the civil engineering research field, in the domains of urban planning and mathematics. Actually, there are some similarities in between the research process features of urban planning and mathematics. In fact, these both scientific subjects follow analogous tasks in their research process, which have the same starting point with the definition of the research problem and the final phase, based on the proposed solution. It joins scholars from the department of civil engineering and architecture, experts in spatial analysis and scholars form the department of mathematics of the University of Beira Interior. Two case studies will be presented as examples of the application of these methodological approaches, both of them focused on the urban planning researches, associated with postgraduate teachings, one is related to a PhD thesis and the other one relates to a master degree dissertation.
- Intersection of a Double Cone and a Line in the Split-Quaternions ContextPublication . Serôdio, Rogério; Beites, P. D.; Vitoria, JoseThis is a work on an application of the real split-quaternions to Spatial Analytic Geometry. Concretely, the intersection of a double cone and a line, which can be the empty set, a point, two points or a line, is studied in the real split-quaternions setting.
