The Gram matrix is positive semidefinite, and every positive semidefinite matrix is the Gramian matrix for some set of vectors. The fact that the Gramian matrix is positive-semidefinite can be seen from the following simple derivation:
In mathematics, a symmetric matrix with real entries is positive-definite if the real number is positive for every nonzero real column vector , where is the row vector transpose of . [1] More generally, a Hermitian matrix (that is, a complex matrix equal to its conjugate transpose) is positive-definite if the real number is positive for every nonzero complex column vector , where denotes the ...
In mathematics, positive semidefinite may refer to: Positive semidefinite function; Positive semidefinite matrix; Positive semidefinite quadratic form;
If the diagonal elements of D are real and non-negative then it is positive semidefinite, and if the square roots are taken with the (+) sign (i.e. all non-negative), the resulting matrix is the principal root of D. A diagonal matrix may have additional non-diagonal roots if some entries on the diagonal are equal, as exemplified by the identity ...
Semidefinite programming (SDP) is a subfield of mathematical programming concerned with the optimization of a linear objective function (a user-specified function that the user wants to minimize or maximize) over the intersection of the cone of positive semidefinite matrices with an affine space, i.e., a spectrahedron. [1]
Since is positive semidefinite, all elements in are non-negative. Since the product of two unitary matrices is unitary, taking = one can write = = which is the singular value decomposition. Hence, the existence of the polar decomposition is equivalent to the existence of the singular value decomposition.
For positive semidefinite A, an decomposition exists where the number of non-zero elements on the diagonal D is exactly the rank of A. [11] Some indefinite matrices for which no Cholesky decomposition exists have an LDL decomposition with negative entries in D : it suffices that the first n − 1 leading principal minors of A are non-singular.
In mathematics (specifically linear algebra, operator theory, and functional analysis) as well as physics, a linear operator acting on an inner product space is called positive-semidefinite (or non-negative) if, for every (), , and , , where is the domain of .
