In this paper, we present a unified general non-strict Finsler lemma. This result is general in the sense that it does not impose any restrictions on the involved matrices and, thereby, it encompasses all existing non-strict versions of…

Matrix-valued polynomials in any finite number of freely noncommuting variables that enjoy certain canonical partial convexity properties are characterized, via an algebraic certificate, in terms of Linear Matrix Inequalities and Bilinear…

It has been recently shown that $|| F_n(A) ||\leq 2$, where $A$ is a linear continuous operator acting in a Hilbert space, and $F_n$ is the Faber polynomial of degree $n$ corresponding to some convex compact $E\subset \mathbb C$ containing…

We provide a short proof of the theorem that every real multivariate polynomial has a symmetric determinantal representation, which was first proved in J. W. Helton, S. A. McCullough, and V. Vinnikov, Noncommutative convexity arises from…

Finsler metrics are direct generalizations of Riemannian metrics such that the quadratic Riemannian indicatrices in the tangent spaces of a manifold are replaced by more general convex bodies as unit spheres. A linear connection on the base…

Finsler's lemma is a classic mathematical result with applications in control and optimization. When the lemma is applied to parameter-dependent LMIs, as such those that arise from problems of robust stability, the extra variables…

The matrix Fej\'er-Riesz theorem characterizes positive semidefinite matrix polynomials on the real line $\mathbb{R}$. We extend a characterization to arbitrary closed semialgebraic sets $K\subseteq \mathbb{R}$ by the use of matrix…

In the paper we investigate locally symmetric polynomial metrics in special cases of Riemannian and Finslerian surfaces. The Riemannian case will be presented by a collection of basic results (regularity of second root metrics) and formulas…

For a standard Finsler metric F on a manifold M, its domain is the whole tangent bundle TM and its fundamental tensor g is positive-definite. However, in many cases (for example, the well-known Kropina and Matsumoto metrics), these two…

Fillmore Theorem says that if A is an nxn complex non-scalar matrix and {\gamma}_1,...,{\gamma}_{n} are complex numbers with {\gamma}_1+...+{\gamma}_{n}=trA, then there exists a matrix B similar to A with diagonal entries…

Let $f(x)=x^TAx+2a^Tx+c$ and $h(x)=x^TBx+2b^Tx+d$ be two quadratic functions having symmetric matrices $A$ and $B$. The S-lemma with equality asks when the unsolvability of the system $f(x)<0, h(x)=0$ implies the existence of a real number…

A linear polyomial non-negative on the non-negativity domain of finitely many linear polynomials can be expressed as their non-negative linear combination. Recently, under several additional assumptions, Helton, Klep, and McCullough…

Polynomial $n\times n$ matrices $A(\lambda)$ and $B(\lambda)$ over a field $\mathbb F $ are called semi-scalar equivalent if there exist a nonsingular $n\times n$ matrix $P$ over the field $\mathbb F $ and an invertible $n\times n$ matrix…

Let $F$ be an infinite field and let $f$ be a nonzero multilinear polynomial with coefficients in $F$. We prove that for every positive integer $d$ there exists a positive integer $s$ such that $f(M_{s}(F))$, the image of $f$ in $M_{s}(F)$,…

By a result of Helton and McCullough, open bounded convex free semialgebraic sets are exactly open (matricial) solution sets D_L of a linear matrix inequality (LMI) L(X)>0. This paper gives a precise algebraic certificate for a polynomial…

With every real polynomial $f$, we associate a family $\{f_{\epsilon r}\}_{\epsilon, r}$ of real polynomials, in explicit form in terms of $f$ and the parameters $\epsilon>0,r\in N$, and such that $\Vert f-f_{\epsilon r}\Vert_1\to 0$ as…

Let $K$ be a field, $R=K[x, y]$ the polynomial ring and $\mathcal{M}(K)$ the set of all pairs of square matrices of the same size over $K.$ Pairs $P_1=(A_1,B_1)$ and $P_2=(A_2,B_2)$ from $\mathcal{M}(K)$ are called similar if…

We consider the problem of extending the classical S-lemma from commutative case to noncommutative cases. We show that a symmetric quadratic homogeneous matrix-valued polynomial is positive semidefinite if and only if its coefficient matrix…
