Some remarks on operators preserving partial orders of matrices

Jan Hauke (2008)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Stępniak [Linear Algebra Appl. 151 (1991)] considered the problem of equivalence of the Löwner partial order of nonnegative definite matrices and the Löwner partial order of squares of those matrices. The paper was an important starting point for investigations of the problem of how an order between two matrices A and B from different sets of matrices can be preserved for the squares of the corresponding matrices A² and B², in the sense of the Löwner partial ordering, the star partial ordering,...

Sufficient conditions to be exceptional

Charles R. Johnson, Robert B. Reams (2016)

Special Matrices

A copositive matrix A is said to be exceptional if it is not the sum of a positive semidefinite matrix and a nonnegative matrix. We show that with certain assumptions on A−1, especially on the diagonal entries, we can guarantee that a copositive matrix A is exceptional. We also show that the only 5-by-5 exceptional matrix with a hollow nonnegative inverse is the Horn matrix (up to positive diagonal congruence and permutation similarity).

The classification of edges and the change in multiplicity of an eigenvalue of a real symmetric matrix resulting from the change in an edge value

Kenji Toyonaga, Charles R. Johnson (2017)

Special Matrices

We take as given a real symmetric matrix A, whose graph is a tree T, and the eigenvalues of A, with their multiplicities. Each edge of T may then be classified in one of four categories, based upon the change in multiplicity of a particular eigenvalue, when the edge is removed (i.e. the corresponding entry of A is replaced by 0).We show a necessary and suficient condition for each possible classification of an edge. A special relationship is observed among 2-Parter edges, Parter edges and singly...

The Collatz-Wielandt quotient for pairs of nonnegative operators

Shmuel Friedland (2020)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper we consider two versions of the Collatz-Wielandt quotient for a pair of nonnegative operators A , B that map a given pointed generating cone in the first space into a given pointed generating cone in the second space. If the two spaces and two cones are identical, and B is the identity operator, then one version of this quotient is the spectral radius of A . In some applications, as commodity pricing, power control in wireless networks and quantum information theory, one needs to deal with...
