On an extension of Fekete’s lemma

Inheung Chon (1999)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We show that if a real n × n non-singular matrix ( n m ) has all its minors of order m - 1 non-negative and has all its minors of order m which come from consecutive rows non-negative, then all m th order minors are non-negative, which may be considered an extension of Fekete’s lemma.

On conditional independence and log-convexity

František Matúš (2012)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

If conditional independence constraints define a family of positive distributions that is log-convex then this family turns out to be a Markov model over an undirected graph. This is proved for the distributions on products of finite sets and for the regular Gaussian ones. As a consequence, the assertion known as Brook factorization theorem, Hammersley–Clifford theorem or Gibbs–Markov equivalence is obtained.

On Gaussian conditional independence structures

Radim Lněnička, František Matúš (2007)

Kybernetika

The simultaneous occurrence of conditional independences among subvectors of a regular Gaussian vector is examined. All configurations of the conditional independences within four jointly regular Gaussian variables are found and completely characterized in terms of implications involving conditional independence statements. The statements induced by the separation in any simple graph are shown to correspond to such a configuration within a regular Gaussian vector.
