    Notes: Abstract The structure preserving rank reduction problem arises in many important applications. The singular value decomposition (SVD), while giving the closest low rank approximation to a given matrix in matrix L 2 norm and Frobenius norm, may not be appropriate for these applications since it does not preserve the given structure. We present a new method for structure preserving low rank approximation of a matrix, which is based on Structured Total Least Norm (STLN). The STLN is an efficient method for obtaining an approximate solution to an overdetermined linear system AX ≈ B, preserving the given linear structure in the perturbation [E F] such that (A + E)X = B + F. The approximate solution can be obtained to minimize the perturbation [E F] in the L p norm, where p = 1, 2, or ∞. An algorithm is described for Hankel structure preserving low rank approximation using STLN with L p norm. Computational results are presented, which show performances of the STLN based method for L 1 and L 2 norms for reduced rank approximation for Hankel matrices.

    Notes: Abstract A series of papers have been published which describe the influence of vegetation and soil type on the Western Australian wheatbelt termite,Drepanotermes tamminensis (Hill), and also on its litter harvesting levels and contribution to the soil nutrient budget. This paper integrates these findings by means of a computer simulation model. The model consists of three modules which respectively describe the dynamics of litter on the ground, the dynamics of litter within termite mounds and how these in turn influence nutrient loads within the habitat. The outputs of the model suggest that this litter harvesting termite plays an important role in the nutrient dynamics of the area and it provides an estimate of the unmeasured variable, litter consumed in mounds by termites, which is consistent with measurements for other termite species with similar feeding habits.
