As the transposition map preserves eigenvalues, the spectrum of () is the same as the spectrum of , and in particular () must still be positive semidefinite. Thus must also be positive semidefinite. This proves the necessity of the PPT criterion.
In mathematics, Sylvester’s criterion is a necessary and sufficient criterion to determine whether a Hermitian matrix is positive-definite. Sylvester's criterion states that a n × n Hermitian matrix M is positive-definite if and only if all the following matrices have a positive determinant:
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:
The class of copositive matrices can be characterized using principal submatrices. One such characterization is due to Wilfred Kaplan: [6]. A real symmetric matrix A is copositive if and only if every principal submatrix B of A has no eigenvector v > 0 with associated eigenvalue λ < 0.
The conjugate gradient method can be applied to an arbitrary n-by-m matrix by applying it to normal equations A T A and right-hand side vector A T b, since A T A is a symmetric positive-semidefinite matrix for any A. The result is conjugate gradient on the normal equations (CGN or CGNR). A T Ax = A T b
There are two main relaxations of QCQP: using semidefinite programming (SDP), and using the reformulation-linearization technique (RLT). For some classes of QCQP problems (precisely, QCQPs with zero diagonal elements in the data matrices), second-order cone programming (SOCP) and linear programming (LP) relaxations providing the same objective value as the SDP relaxation are available.

One can define positive-definite functions on any locally compact abelian topological group; Bochner's theorem extends to this context. Positive-definite functions on groups occur naturally in the representation theory of groups on Hilbert spaces (i.e. the theory of unitary representations).
