Positive-definiteness arises naturally in the theory of the Fourier transform; it can be seen directly that to be positive-definite it is sufficient for f to be the Fourier transform of a function g on the real line with g(y) ≥ 0.
In particular, the discrete-time Lyapunov equation (also known as Stein equation) for is A X A H − X + Q = 0 {\displaystyle AXA^{H}-X+Q=0} where Q {\displaystyle Q} is a Hermitian matrix and A H {\displaystyle A^{H}} is the conjugate transpose of A {\displaystyle A} , while the continuous-time Lyapunov equation is
A Lyapunov function for an autonomous dynamical system {: ˙ = ()with an equilibrium point at = is a scalar function: that is continuous, has continuous first derivatives, is strictly positive for , and for which the time derivative ˙ = is non positive (these conditions are required on some region containing the origin).
In operator theory, a branch of mathematics, a positive-definite kernel is a generalization of a positive-definite function or a positive-definite matrix. It was first introduced by James Mercer in the early 20th century, in the context of solving integral operator equations. Since then, positive-definite functions and their various analogues ...
This makes a positive definite matrix. More properties of controllable systems can be found in Chen (1999 , p. 145 ), as well as the proof for the other equivalent statements of “The pair ( A , B ) {\displaystyle ({\boldsymbol {A}},{\boldsymbol {B}})} is controllable” presented in section Controllability in LTI Systems.
In mathematics, specifically functional analysis, Mercer's theorem is a representation of a symmetric positive-definite function on a square as a sum of a convergent sequence of product functions. This theorem, presented in ( Mercer 1909 ), is one of the most notable results of the work of James Mercer (1883–1932).
In mathematics, positive definiteness is a property of any object to which a bilinear form or a sesquilinear form may be naturally associated, which is positive-definite. See, in particular: Positive-definite bilinear form; Positive-definite function; Positive-definite function on a group; Positive-definite functional; Positive-definite kernel
In mathematics, Bochner's theorem (named for Salomon Bochner) characterizes the Fourier transform of a positive finite Borel measure on the real line. More generally in harmonic analysis, Bochner's theorem asserts that under Fourier transform a continuous positive-definite function on a locally compact abelian group corresponds to a finite positive measure on the Pontryagin dual group.
