Is there a special name for First-Order Logic with all terms restricted to variables (i.e no function terms)? Is it simpler to decide satisfiability in this case?

For context, I was reading a Type Theory paper and the author used a join-semilattice only to make the join operator on it partial, which to my mind is just a partial order "with extra steps".

A lattice is an abstract structure studied in the mathematical subdisciplines of order theory and abstract algebra. It consists of a partially ordered set in which every pair of elements has a unique supremum (also called a least upper bound or join) and a unique infimum (also called a greatest lower bound or meet). An example is given by the power set of a set, partially ordered by inclusion, for which the supremum is the union and the infimum is the intersection. Another example is given by the natural numbers, partially ordered by divisibility, for which the supremum is the least common multiple...

If any two elements of a join-semilattice are comparable by definition, then the set is not a poset anymore, so why define a join-semilattice in terms of a poset?
Apr 6, 2020 12:33
Yeah module theory, never touched it
Apr 6, 2020 12:31
You sound surprised
Apr 6, 2020 12:30
Sounds right?

So $\ker(A-\lambda_i I)^{l}=\ker(A-\lambda_i I)^{m_i}$ if and only if $l \ge m_i$ where $m_i$ is the multiplicity of $\lambda_i$ in the minimal polynomial $\mu_A$.
Apr 6, 2020 12:30
So by Primary Decomposition we can write $V=\ker(A-\lambda_1 I)^{\alpha_1} \oplus \cdots \oplus \ker(A-\lambda_r I)^{\alpha_r}$. So if we consider $A_i$ the restriction of $A$ on $\ker(A-\lambda_i I)^{\alpha_i}$, its characteristic polynomial is $\chi_{A_i}(t)=(t-\lambda_i)^{n_i}$ where $n_i=\dim \ker(A-\lambda_i I)^{\alpha_i}$ so the characteristic polynomial of $A$ is $\chi_A=(t-\lambda_1)^{n_1}\cdots (t-\lambda_r)^{n_r}$, hence $n_i$ is multiplicity of $\lambda_i$ in $\chi_A$.

Just checking some things. If a polynomial $f(t) \in \mathbb C[t]$ annihilates $A:\mathbb C^n \to \mathbb C^n$, then every eigen value of $A$ is a root of $f(t)$ so we can factorize $f(t)=(t-\lambda_1)^{\alpha_1}\cdots (t-\lambda_r)^{\alpha_r}$ where the $\lambda_i$ are the unique eigenvalues.

Can you point me to a proof of the existence of JNF that explains in detail how you would go about finding the form? :P
Apr 5, 2020 22:06
Most proofs I've seen use weird arguments for existence and then handwave their way through examples
Apr 5, 2020 22:04
I want a rigorous proof
Apr 5, 2020 22:04
I know the steps at least
Apr 5, 2020 22:03
I still don't understand why we can always find Jordan Chains, but yes
Apr 5, 2020 21:55
Which must be a proper basis of $V$, does this tell you enough @TedShifrin ?
Apr 5, 2020 21:54
For induction it considers $\text{Im}A$
Apr 5, 2020 21:53
Then it follows by induction on the dimension of $V$, proving that there is always a basis of eigenvectors $\{v_1, \dots, v_n\}$ s.t. $Av_i$ is either $v_{i+1}$ or $0$
Apr 5, 2020 21:51
First, it reduces to the case where $A$ is nilpotent (Primary Decomposition Th. and adding $\lambda Id$)
Apr 5, 2020 21:33
... Can someone point me to a proof of the existence of JNF that actually also explains how to obtain it :)
Apr 5, 2020 09:37
That's fair, I think book doesn't look too bad :P
Apr 5, 2020 09:30
@AlessandroCodenotti I hope
Apr 5, 2020 09:30
Alrighty, thanks.
Apr 5, 2020 09:29
Something relying on something else a finite dimensional vector space over a specific field is already too much for me to telerate
Apr 5, 2020 09:26
@LeakyNun do you recommend any concise and detailed book?
Apr 5, 2020 09:25
All I see you doing all day everyday is algebra @BalarkaSen
Apr 5, 2020 09:24
Haha
Apr 5, 2020 09:19
The fact that I don't know any of that makes me feel better actually
Apr 5, 2020 09:17
$A$ is a linear map on a finite dimensional vector space $V$ over the complex numbers.
Apr 5, 2020 09:16
I'm not much of an abstract algebra nor arithmetic person so please tell me why would you or anyone else think like this?
Apr 5, 2020 09:16
If $v \neq 0$ is $(A-\alpha I)$-cyclic, with period $r$, then $\{ v, (A-\alpha I)v, \dots, (A-\alpha I)^{r-1}v\}$ is linearly independent. My proof consists of repeatedly composing by $A^{r-1}$, $A^{r}$... My textbook however writes the linear dependence relation as $f(A-\alpha I)v=0$ where $f$ is a polynomial, and straight out talks about the greatest common divisor of $f(t)$ and $g(t)=t^r$.

You mean the zeros I added? I only did it for the integral with $x$ not $x_0$
Mar 7, 2020 20:24
Another error?
Mar 7, 2020 20:23
Thanks @TedShifrin you're awesome.
Mar 7, 2020 20:22
Is what I did
Mar 7, 2020 20:22
$$\int_y^z=\int_y^{y_0} + \int_{y_0}^{z_0}+\int_{z_0}^{z}$$
Mar 7, 2020 20:18
(Hopefully)
Mar 7, 2020 20:17
Not really Lipschitz continuous this time, but it's continuous
Mar 7, 2020 20:14
So the LHS becomes less than or equal to $$\max(M, k|y_0-z_0|) \| (x,y,z)- (x_0,y_0,z_0)\|$$
Mar 7, 2020 20:14
$$\left | \frac{\partial \phi}{\partial x}(x,y,z)-\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial x}(x_0,y_0,z_0) \right |=\left |\int_{z_0}^z \frac{\partial f}{\partial x}(x,t)dt - \int_{y_0}^{y} \frac{\partial f}{\partial x}(x,t)dt +\int_{y_0}^{z_0} \left (\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}(x,t)-\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}(x_0,t) \right )dt \right |$$ Since $\partial f/ \partial x$ is uniformly continuous we can write $| \frac{\partial f}{\partial x}(x,t)-\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}(x_0,t)| \le k |x-x_0|$
Mar 7, 2020 19:55
I'll do it now
Mar 7, 2020 19:54
That would add $M|x-x_0|$ on the RHS
Mar 7, 2020 19:53
I would have to use the uniform continuity of $\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}$ like you said @TedShifrin
Mar 7, 2020 19:52
I see.. it's definitely wrong
Mar 7, 2020 19:49
Oh, I should've replaced $x$ with $x_0$ in the $\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}(x,t)$ inside the second integral, but I only used the fact that $\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}$ is bounded afterwards so it should be fine?
Mar 7, 2020 19:46
I'm sorry, what is my mistake exactly
Mar 7, 2020 19:45
I wrote an answer down..
Mar 7, 2020 19:45
Wait, are we talking about the first or the second post?
Mar 7, 2020 19:41
I used the max norm?
Mar 7, 2020 19:38
I didn't get stuck, I'm just looking to verify my proof
