Summary
This paper contains the proof of a fundamental algebraic results in the theory of the vector ε-algorithm. The relationships of this algorithm involve the addition, subtraction and inversion of vectors of complex numbers: the first two operations are defined by component-wise addition and subtraction; the inverse of the vectorz=(z 1 ...,z N ) is taken to be
where the bar denotes a complex conjugate. It is proved that if vectorsε (m) s can be constructed from the initial valuesε (m)−1 =0, (m=1,2,...),ε (m)0 =s m , (m=0,1, ...) by means of the relationshipsε (m) s+1 =ε (m+1) s-1 +(ε (m+1) s -ε (m) s )−1, (m, s=0,1, ...); and if the recursion relations\(\sum\limits_{i = 0}^n {\beta _i s_{m + i} = \left( {\sum\limits_{i = 0}^n {\beta _i } } \right)} a,(m = 0,1,...)\) hold for the initial values, where the coefficients β i (i=0,1,...,n) are real and βn≠0, then form=0,1, ...,ε (m) 2s =a, if\(\sum\limits_{i = 0}^n {\beta _i } \ne 0\) andε (m) 2s =0, if\(\sum\limits_{i = 0}^n {\beta _i } = 0\).
Zusammenfassung
Diese Arbeit beinhaltet ein fundamentales algebraisches Ergebnis der Theorie des vektoriellen ε-Algorithmus. Als Verknüpfungen dieses Algorithmus werden verwendet die Addition, die Subtraktion und der inverse Vektor mit komplexen Komponenten. Die ersten beiden Operationen sind definiert durch komponentenweise Addition beziehungsweise Subtraktion. Seiz=(z 1, ...,z N ) ein vorgegebener Vektor, so soll der inverse Vektor auf folgende Weise gebildet werden.
wobei der Querstrich die konjugiert komplexe Zahl bedeutet. Unter der Voraussetzung, daß der Vektorε (m) s aus den Anfangsbedingungenε (m)−1 =0, (m=1, 2, ...),ε (m)0 =s m , (m=0,1, ...) mittels der Beziehungenε (m) s+1 =ε (m+1) s-1 +(ε (m+1) s -ε (m) s )−1, (m, s=0,1,...) gebildet werden kann und unter der weiteren Voraussetzung, daß die Rekursionsformel\(\sum\limits_{i = 0}^n {\beta _i s_{m + 1} = \left( {\sum\limits_{i = 0}^n {\beta _i } } \right)} a,(m = 0,1,...)\) (m=0,1,...) auch für die Anfangsbedingungen gilt, wobei die Koeffizienten β i (i=0,1,...,n) reell und ungleich Null sein sollen, wird fürm=0,1, ... bewiesen, daß die Beziehungenε (m)2n =a gilt für\(\sum\limits_{i = 0}^n {\beta _i } \ne 0\) undε (m)2n =0 gilt, wenn\(\sum\limits_{i = 0}^n {\beta _i } = 0\).
