The Gram matrix is symmetric in the case the inner product is real-valued; it is Hermitian in the general, complex case by definition of an inner product. 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 ...
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 ...
Let A be a copositive matrix. Then we have that every principal submatrix of A is copositive as well. In particular, the entries on the main diagonal must be nonnegative. the spectral radius ρ(A) is an eigenvalue of A. [3] Every copositive matrix of order less than 5 can be expressed as the sum of a positive semidefinite matrix and a ...
The exception is the non-negative monomial matrices: a non-negative matrix has non-negative inverse if and only if it is a (non-negative) monomial matrix. Note that thus the inverse of a positive matrix is not positive or even non-negative, as positive matrices are not monomial, for dimension n > 1.
Matrices that can be decomposed as , that is, Gram matrices of some sequence of vectors (columns of ), are well understood — these are precisely positive semidefinite matrices. To relate the Euclidean distance matrix to the Gram matrix, observe that
A strictly diagonally dominant matrix (or an irreducibly diagonally dominant matrix [2]) is non-singular. A Hermitian diagonally dominant matrix with real non-negative diagonal entries is positive semidefinite. This follows from the eigenvalues being real, and Gershgorin's circle theorem. If the symmetry requirement is eliminated, such a matrix ...
