Tensors

Dyadics

In mathematics, specifically multilinear algebra, a dyadic or dyadic tensor is a second order tensor, written in a notation that fits in with vector algebra. There are numerous ways to multiply two Euclidean vectors. The dot product takes in two vectors and returns a scalar, while the cross product returns a pseudovector. Both of these have various significant geometric interpretations and are widely used in mathematics, physics, and engineering. The dyadic product takes in two vectors and returns a second order tensor called a dyadic in this context. A dyadic can be used to contain physical or geometric information, although in general there is no direct way of geometrically interpreting it. The dyadic product is distributive over vector addition, and associative with scalar multiplication. Therefore, the dyadic product is linear in both of its operands. In general, two dyadics can be added to get another dyadic, and multiplied by numbers to scale the dyadic. However, the product is not commutative; changing the order of the vectors results in a different dyadic. The formalism of dyadic algebra is an extension of vector algebra to include the dyadic product of vectors. The dyadic product is also associative with the dot and cross products with other vectors, which allows the dot, cross, and dyadic products to be combined to obtain other scalars, vectors, or dyadics. It also has some aspects of matrix algebra, as the numerical components of vectors can be arranged into row and column vectors, and those of second order tensors in square matrices. Also, the dot, cross, and dyadic products can all be expressed in matrix form. Dyadic expressions may closely resemble the matrix equivalents. The dot product of a dyadic with a vector gives another vector, and taking the dot product of this result gives a scalar derived from the dyadic. The effect that a given dyadic has on other vectors can provide indirect physical or geometric interpretations. Dyadic notation was first established by Josiah Willard Gibbs in 1884. The notation and terminology are relatively obsolete today. Its uses in physics include continuum mechanics and electromagnetism. In this article, upper-case bold variables denote dyadics (including dyads) whereas lower-case bold variables denote vectors. An alternative notation uses respectively double and single over- or underbars. (Wikipedia).

The Two-Dimensional Discrete Fourier Transform

The two-dimensional discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is the natural extension of the one-dimensional DFT and describes two-dimensional signals like images as a weighted sum of two dimensional sinusoids. Two-dimensional sinusoids have a horizontal frequency component and a vertical frequen

The Discrete Fourier Transform

This video provides a basic introduction to the very widely used and important discrete Fourier transform (DFT). The DFT describes discrete-time signals as a weighted sum of complex sinusoid building blocks and is used in applications such as GPS, MP3, JPEG, and WiFi.

Gerard Cornuejols: Dyadic linear programming

A finite vector is dyadic if each of its entries is a dyadic rational number, i.e. if it has an exact floating point representation. We study the problem of finding a dyadic optimal solution to a linear program, if one exists. This is joint work with Ahmad Abdi, Bertrand Guenin and Levent
