In linear algebra , a set of matrix mathematics matrices math A 1, ldots,A k math is said to Commute mathematics commute if they commute pairwise, meaning math A iA j A jA i math for every pair i , j equivalently, the commutator vanishes math A i,A j math more abstractly, if the algebra they generate is an abelian Lie algebra . Properties Commuting matrices over an algebraically closed field are Triangular matrix Simultaneous triangularisability simultaneously triangularizable indeed, over the complex numbers they are unitarily simultaneously triangularizable. Further, if the matrices math A i math have eigenvalues math alpha i,m , math then a simultaneous eigenbasis can be chosen so that the eigenvalues of a polynomial in the commuting matrices is the polynomial in the eigenvalues. For example, for two commuting matrices math A,B math with eigenvalues math alpha i, beta j, math one can order the eigenvalues and choose the eigenbasis such that the eigenvalues of math A B math are math alpha i beta i math and the eigenvalues for math AB math are math alpha i beta i. math This was proven by Frobenius , with the two matrix case proven in 1878, later generalized by him to any finite set of commuting matrices. This is generalized by Lie s theorem , which shows that any representation of a solvable Lie algebra is simultaneously upper triangularizable, the case of commuting matrices being the abelian Lie algebra case, abelian being a fortiori solvable. History References given in Harv Drazin 1951 . The notion of commuting matrices was introduced by Arthur Cayley Cayley in his Memoir on the theory of matrices, which also provided the first axiomatization of matrices. The first significant results proved on them was the above result of Frobenius in 1878.

RUCAs are a Census tract based classification scheme that use the standard United States Census Bureau Census Bureau urban area definitions in combination with commuting information to characterize all of the Nation s Census tracts regarding their rural and urban status. The RUCAs are based on measures of urbanization, population density, and daily commuting. Census tracts are used to establish RUCAs because they are the smallest geographic building block for which reliable commuting data are available.

In quantum mechanics , a complete set of commuting observables CSCO is a set of commutative commuting operator mathematics operator s whose eigenvalue s completely specify the quantum state state of a system harv Gasiorowicz 1974 p 119 . For example, in the case of the hydrogen atom , the Hamiltonian quantum mechanics Hamiltonian H , the angular momentum L and its projection mathematics projection L sub z sub along any arbitrary z axis form a CSCO if one ignores the spin physics spin of the proton and of the electron as well as the movement of the center of mass . Since each pair of observables in the set commutes, the observables are all compatible so that the measurement of one observable has no effect on the result of measuring another observable in the set. It is therefore not necessary to specify the order in which the different observables are measured. Measurement of the complete set of observables constitutes a complete measurement, in the sense that it projects the quantum state of the system onto a unique and known vector in the basis defined by the set of operators. This specifies the conditions for the preparation of a well defined quantum state. Also, the states which form the basis of the CSCO are completely defined by specifying the eigenvalues math lambda 1 math , math lambda 2 math , ..., associated with each observable math O 1 math , math O 2 math , ... of the CSCO. In the above example of the hydrogen atom, the basis states are defined by the quantum numbers math n,l,m rangle math , and it is not necessary to include the wave function or the atomic orbital .

Unreferenced date December 2009 The three speed bicycle is a bicycle that uses internal hub gear s at the rear wheel hub to provide three gear ratios. Typically, in low gear, the rear sprocket turns faster than the wheel in middle gear, the rear sprocket turns at the same speed as the wheel in high gear, the rear wheel turns faster than the sprocket. Three speed hubs have been in use since the early 1900s. Though they are heavier than comparable derailleur systems, internal gear hub systems generally last longer and require less maintenance. During their heyday, three speed hubs were used in all applications, including Bicycle racing racing and time trialling, cargo cycling, utility cycling , and Bicycle commuting commuting . In many parts of the world, three speed hubs are still preferred for commuting and other types of utility cycling over derailleur systems. Internal gear hubs come in a variety of models, including three , four , five , seven , eight and even 14 speed versions. Notable manufacturers of internal gear hubs include Sturmey Archer , an early pioneer now owned by SunRace Rohloff SACHS SRAM Corporation SRAM and Shimano .

Schwinger s quantum action principle is a variational approach to quantum field theory introduced by Julian Schwinger . In this approach, the quantum action is an operator. Although it is superficially different from the path integral formulation where the action is a classical function, the modern formulation of the two formalisms are identical. Suppose we have two states defined by the values of a complete set of commuting operators at two times. Let the early and late states be A and B respectively. Suppose that there is a parameter in the Lagrangian which can be varied, usually a source for a field. The main equation of Schwinger s quantum action principle is math delta langle B A rangle i langle B delta S A rangle, math where the derivative is with respect to small changes in the parameter. In the path integral formulation, the transition amplitude is represented by the sum over all histories of exp iS , with appropriate boundary conditions representing the states A and B . The infinitesimal change in the amplitude is clearly given by Schwinger s formula. Conversely, starting from Schwinger s formula, it is easy to show that the fields obey canonical commutation relations and the classical equations of motion, and so have a path integral representation. Schwinger s formulation was most significant because it could treat fermionic anticommuting fields with the same formalism as bose fields, thus implicitly introducing differentiation and integration with respect to anti commuting coordinates.
