In mathematics, in the theory of differential equations, a Lax pair is a pair of time-dependent matrices that describe certain solutions of differential equations. They were developed by Peter Lax to discuss solitons in continuous media.

Definition
A Lax pair is a pair of matrices L,M such that
It can then be shown that the eigenvalues of L are independent of t. The matrices L are said to form an isospectral series. In mathematics, a number is called an eigenvalue of a matrix if there exists a nonzero vector such that the matrix times the vector is equal to the same vector multiplied by the eigenvalue. ... In mathematics, two linear operators are called isospectral if they have the same spectrum. ...
The core observation is that the above equation is the infinitesimal form of a family of matrices L(t) all having the same spectrum, by virtue of being given by
L(t) = A− 1(t)LA(t)
Here, the motion of A can be arbitrarily complicated, yet the solution is still essentially a linear problem.

It flew into LAX during the middle of the night, and was kept hidden in a closed hangar for several days until the morning of the 24th.
I have even received reports that an LAX traffic cop told a driver that a camera had photographed their license plate number, and that they would be receiving a ticket by mail.
LAX insiders and I also know that it is easy to walk between terminal buildings at LAX (it does require, however, that you be re-screened through the next terminal's security check-point).
In general the rules of harmony of harmony are: 1) All the vowels in a word must have the same ATR value; that is, all the vowels must be lax or all must be tense.
In 1a, both the vowels are lax (as predicted by the first rule of harmony) and there are no unround vowels to the right of a round vowel (as predicted by the second rule).
The diminutive suffix once again contains a lax vowel, but in this case it is not round because the preceding stem vowel is not round.
