Research Letters welcomes papers from staff and graduate students at Massey University in the areas of: Computer Science, Information Science, Mathematics, Statistics and the Physical and Engineering Sciences. Research letters is a preprint series that accepts articles of completed research work, technical reports, or preliminary results from ongoing research. After editing, articles are published online and can be referenced, or handed out at conferences. Copyright remains with the authors and the articles can be used as preprints to academic journal publications or handed out at conferences.

    Some properties of transition matrices for chain binomial models
    (Massey University, 2005) Jones, G.
    A chain binomial model is a Markov chain with a transition matrix whose rows are binomial probabilities. Two such chains are presented and illustrated with possible applications. The paper will focus in particular on some interesting properties of the transition matrices.

    Eigenvectors of block circulant and alternating circulant matrices
    (Massey University, 2005) Tee, Garry J.
    The eigenvectors and eigenvalues of block circulant matrices had been found for real symmetric matrices with symmetric submatrices, and for block circulant matrices with circulant submatrices. The eigenvectors are now found for general block circulant matrices, including the Jordan Canonical Form for defective eigenvectors. That analysis is applied to Stephen J. Watson’s alternating circulant matrices, which reduce to block circulant matrices with square submatrices of order 2.
