Abstract

For positive semi-definite block-matrix M,M, we say that MM is P.S.D. and we write M=(A&XX&B)M_n+m+M=\begin{pmatrix} A \& X\\ {X^*} \& B\end{pmatrix} \in {\mathbb{M}}\_{n+m}^+, with AM_n+A\in {\mathbb{M}}\_n^+, BM_m+.B \in {\mathbb{M}}\_m^+. The focus is on studying the consequences of a decomposition lemma due to C.~Bourrin and the main result is extending the class of P.S.D. matrices MM written by blocks of same size that satisfies the inequality: MA+B\|M\|\le \|A+B\| for all symmetric norms.
